Thanks Supergranny! I need to stop looking at her pic because the more I do, the deeper I fall in love with her! I just wish I could somehow post her pic here but with webtv, I don't think I can.

I emailed her foster mom last night but have not heard back yet. I just called the Humane Society and talked with two people. Both were very nice and helpful. They told me Meggie (her name now) is three months old. She hasn't been neutered yet. As soon as she weighs enough it can be done. They told me to give it until tomorrow to see if her foster mom emails me back. If not, I need to call them back and they will see if they can help.

So, for now, I just have to hold my britches on and try to be patient. I just keep going back to her pic and looking at her. But, I think I need to stop doing that because if I don't get her for some reason, I will be heart broken!

Good luck Baby! I hope that the 4 kittens we are fostering can find someone to love them as much as I know you will love yours.

Drumroll please: Okay folks, may I introduce you to the new love of Baby's life... She's hoping to adopt this sweet little nipper, whom she has temporarily named Suzy Q til further notice:



Notes from the adoption site: Baby Meggie is a long haired black, white, grey female, 4 white paws (grey patch on right front paw), white under neck, chest and lower tummy. Faint brown "tiger" markings on face. A very pretty girl, soft and fluffy. Likes to purr and to be petted. Fostered around children ages 4, 12 and 14. Fostered w/ other kittens, hasn't been around dogs. Litter box trained.

And she is 3 months old! She looks more brown and cream on my screen, though!

If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know asap! Thanks!

I just got an email from Wendy, Meggie's foster mom. She is showing the kitties tonight at the Humane Society. She said she thinks Scrappy, Meggie's brother who is the smallest of the group, would be the best for me. She said he loves to cuddle and be petted. He is the one that always cuddles up with her to watch tv at night. He looks much like Meggie only more black and white. Wendy also said the kitties are two months old and not three like I was told earlier today. Any thoughts, please let me know cause I really don't know what to do!!!

I love boy kittens. They are very cuddly and loving and they make wonderful friends. Did I mention that they are loving? They are extremely loving!!!

I'd be a little concerned about two things though. She mentioned that he is the smallest, so he might be a little weak. The other concern that I have is whether you would be happy with the little guy after having your heart set on a girl kitty?

I love boy kittens too, but either are great! No concerns from me Baby. Go with your heart. Jump in and enjoy the ride! What a wonderful way to add to your family!

I agree. I don't think that you can go wrong if you do what your heart tells you.

Thanks Jimmer,

I know I could love a little boy just as well. I think for me, part of it is Baby was a girl and I am not sure why but others who have cats say to make sure to get a girl.

I don't know that much about kitties but I also was a little concerned when Wendy said he is the smallest. So, I just don't know what to do.

I really thought they were three months old and not two so I could get the kitty fixed before coming here. It would make it a whole lot easier on me.

Why are some saying a girl and not a boy? If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know asap. Thanks!

Thanks again, Jimmer! I know I am probably acting like a chicken with my head cut off right now. I guess that is how I am feeling. I want to do the right thing but I don't know what that is? And I may need to make a decision fairly quick!

I only prefer girl kitties cuz boy kitties spray to mark their territory. But I've known lots of loving boy kitties of my various friends and they are just fine.

Oh my word, Supergranny! I would love to take them both. But there is no way that I could!

I can just see me now, flying around the apartment with both of them on my chair! Baby rode around all of the time with me!!! YIKES!

I had two boys for 17 years and neither of them sprayed. You just need to get them fixed as soon as possible.

Love boy cats!

Oh no, Mame! Do they all spray? I thought if they were fixed it took care of that. Shows you what I know about boy kitties..not much!

OK, I am starting to feel better about the "boy" thing but what concerns should I have if Scrappy is the smallest one? I really need to try to get a kitty that is healthy.

Thanks guys so much for giving me feedback right now cause I sure as heckola need it!!!

Just because he's the smallest, doesn't mean he isn't going to be healthy. My second cat, Monroe, came from a shelter and he was very sickly at first. But after we got him healthy, he lived very happily for another 13 years! It's all about how much you can give!

Thanks Vacanick,

I can give lots of love and attention but I really am limited on funds. I know this a big responsibility and I want to make sure I do the right thing for the little sweetie that comes to live with me.

If anyone wants to see a pic of Scrappy, Sea was kind enough to post his pic and also a pic of one of the others in my folder. I am really starting to fall for little Scrappy, too!

When my son was young and we were going through our hamster stage, we had one who was the smallest and he only had three legs. He was the sweetest of the bunch and lived as long as the rest did. He was adorable, too!

AS I explained in Baby's folder, smallest may just be a day or so younger, as cats ovulate over a period of time not all at once.

My male cat never sprayed either. He as neutered as soon as we got him.
