More kittyness

[kelliem]

Yes, I am going to be nauseatingly mushy over our new baby. He's downstairs in the laundry room. The humane society told us to keep him in there for the first 12 hours or so, so he learns where the potty is and isn't too freaked by all the space. We've been going in to check on him regularly, and so far he seems really happy, though he wants to come out and explore. We've had him in there since about 1. He's being very good about it. We have already learned that he's a climber, and a leaper, and he has a thing for shoulders, and he loves to headbutt. And he purrs like a cat twice his size. If you wanna go drool over him, I put up some pix here.

He's a handsome cat! It's very neat that he sits on people's shoulders -- all my cats have been the non-affectionate types. No rubbing, no purring, no affectionate leaping. I felt cheated, I tell you. Cheated!

Yeah, we lucked out. When we went to the shelter to look for a cat, it was obvious from the start that he was very affectionate. That's why we decided on him. Our former cat was a love too, so we've been fortunate.

your baby is beautiful! it sounds like he's eager to explore his new house, and I bet the transition will go smoothly once he's released from the laundry room.

so glad Mika's ok, and home with you.

He's adorable. Pretty, pretty eyes. :)

I can't wait to see him tomorrow. I'll wear clothes that are kitten safe. (Instead of my usual designer ensemble. Ha!)

Wear jeans. Or maybe duck waders. ;D He likes to climb legs.

I'm so glad this worked out, Kellie. He's a very beautiful boy; be as mushy as you want!

Thanks hon! I know the combined good thoughts of my friends had a lot to do with that.

Oh, he is absolutely *adorable*! What a cutie pie! Of course, I'm a pushover for a cute kitty face - as you can see from my icon, which shows two of my four ...

Congrats on the new baby - there's nothing like a new cat to bring love to your life :-)

Ooo, he's home!

Headbutting is fantastic, it's a sign of affection. (I watch too much Animal Planet and Discover Channel). He wuvs you!

He's gorgeous.
