Another one has found us!

Post by Chris_W »

We are up to 4 cats again. This new little fluff ball has decided this is her home, and has taken up permanent residence on my keyboard most days :lol:

This was taken just before the freeze up here, shortly after she found us and she is even fluffier now that it is colder.

Brian has named her Foxie, and I love the name (she does too).

I see many fur balls in our future :lol:

Let's hope she stays out of the road :roll:

Oh she is just precious! I love the name, too!

How did this little darling show up out there at your place? Do you think she was dropped off? Perhaps someone knew she could find soft hearts and a warm keyboard there!!

She's a doll!
:D

Too sweet! Both Foxy and her new pad sharers! You need updated photos of your menageri (I know that's not spelled right). I can't remember which you have now? I surely didn't realize it was 4 again! :lol: I assume she's another one that enjoys the out-of-doors with your comment. Do they stay in more now that it's bitter cold out?

Pretty kitty :D

Oh she is a pretty one! She looks like she will be very lovable also! I bet she will stay close to home, especialy if she gets to sit on your keyboard while you work :lol:
I like the name, it fits her.

I love Foxie's coloring. She's lucky to have found you.

Chris is the Pied Piper of cats and has a special way with them. He is one of only four people in the world our skitterish Kitty ever allowed to pet her. Yes, she's still that bashful, Chris.

Such a little cutie. Great she found a good home.
Hope the recidents accept her and she is scared of the road.

Do all of them vie for position on laps? Thats a lot of cat hair to vacuum. But even extra cat hair is but a small price to pay for the love of your furry friends.

Thanks everyone.

You wouldn't believe how much her fur has grown this winter! I think she is about 5 times the size she was in that picture :wow: The fur around her neck makes it look like she has a mane!

Our other 3 cats are all short hairs, so the cat hair hasn't been an issue. This one is another story :roll:

They do all compete for lap time and desk time, so I often have to close my office door to get any work done.

And we got cat#3 in June. She belonged to our neighbor but he passed away so we took her in. Of the 4 she is the most friendly to strangers, so she is our official nursery greeter :)

Have a merry christmas everyone!

Both these kitties are just too adorable!
Chris...tell Brian that is a purr-fect name for her! She is just too cute. I'll be sure to show her pic to my DD. You know how much she loves your kitties when we come up there. :wink:
