- I have been a lurker for quite awhile and just love reading all the
- stories about our feline friends. Well, I just had to write this
- and let you all know about my new addition. She is a two year
- old spayed and declawed :( tortie. She is huge at 12 lbs with
- long hair so she looks even larger. She has quite the motor and
- loves attention.
-
- Her background is quite sad -- she was adopted by a college student
- in the summer. When fall came around the kitty went to Mom and Dads
- who already had two cats. They did not get along so the college
- student took her back but did not have time for her. Mom and Dad
- finally took the cat back and tried to get her to make up to
- their two cats. No luck. They finally after two years of this
- took her to a cat boarding facility. When asked by the manager of
- the facitlity how long she was going to stay, they said forever or
- find her a home. (They did not have the heart to take her to the
- humane society). Anyway Gail (the manager) took her into her home
- of six cats and she did not do well - she hid in the closet constantly.
- I called Gail to see if her children could go swimming with mine and
- she told me about the kitty. Well I already have two indoor cats,
- two outdoor cats for the house and 3 barn cats over at the stables.
- I hesitated but when I met the kitty I fell in love with her - she
- sat on my lap and purred. My two cats have adjusted to her in
- just two days - I must be lucky cuz now I have 3 cats plus husband
- sleeping with me.
-
- The best part is her name cuz it fits so well. We named her Jello
- because I figured there is always room for Jello. She is a great
- addition to our indoor feline family.
