kitten for adoption (in 6 wks)

Taking your work home, Mona? Are you still working at the animal shelter?

Meanwhile, I have some pics up of the outside family of strays at our house. I just added two more that show what Gloria will look like. She will look 95% like the black cat with white markings though she has a brown dot on her nose like Uncle Mason.

For closure's sake, I should probably post that Gloria has just passed on. It seems that she was not a match to continuing here, and may not have ever been. Me taking her in and caring for her obviously could not change that energy. On the physical level, we don't know what internal problems she may have been born with, and we don't know if Junior's style of mothering put her in a condition that could not be healed. I thought that she was getting stronger and doing well, so her death has been a huge to me, her foster mom.

If she had to go, I'm glad that she got to experience our home rather than having passed a few days ago in the state in which we found her. That probably would have been more upsetting.

And that's our tale for today. Sorry to be a stormy rain cloud, but I felt that it would be best to pass on the information considering I am no longer looking for someone to adopt her.

That's sad Debbie, you take care now.

Good luck, Mona. Hey, the good Mom of our outside strays had babies a month ago. I put pics up of them at around 3 weeks old, but they are already so different.

We hope to scoop them up and bring them to the North Shore Animal League in another month or whenever they seem ready.

Actually, Mona is short for "Monarch Butterfly" because of the patterns on her back... which the pictures didn't catch. Her back has these perfect symmetric patterns and almost like a line down the middle. It reminded me of a butterfly in that it has 2 intricately designed wings. The kitty is clearly a girl, and I didn't know where to go with names this time as you can tell.

When we got our cats from NSAL, they were called Otto and Kurt. Phil thought that sounded like 2 old Nazis so we changed them to Mickey and Luke. Phil loves Mickey Mouse so I like to call our cat Mickey Meows. And I was going to keep Kurt, but everytime I went to say it, I said Luke. So after 2 days of that, I said FINE he obviously wants to be called Luke. And wouldn't you know it, he answers to his name, he comes when he's called, and he gives you a happy excited "it's me!" meow when you say "is that Mr. Luke?" So I say he named himself.

If I were very sensitive, I might take offence to that......but, I guess I've been called worse.

Kurt.

(NOT an old Nazi)

Kurt, in a vacuum, I love your name! But imagine 2 kitty brothers named Otto and Kurt when the whole rest of the room is like Fluffy and Muffin, Bogie and Bacall, and Snoopy and Oreo. Otto and Kurt together somehow sounded like 2 old Nazis.

Meanwhile, I'll be bringing in for adoption sisters Mona and Xerox and brother Eggcream, who they'll probably try to adopt separately.

I just heard the name "Purrrl" the other day...very cute name for a cat!
And since I volunteer at our local Humane Shelter I "must" add a "Spay & Neuter" message!

There's also the name "K.C." = Kitty Cat
