Kitty Talk

Sympathies Steve

Sorry for your loss.  When we inherited Greystone when my wife's father passed away 2 years ago, we had to guess he was 12 years old and his kidneys were starting to fail.  He's gone 2 more years knock on wood, but it's time for another checkup.  Meanwhile he's not been able to gain weight and is still very skinny at 7 lbs.  We're all very attached to him, and wish there was a way to help all our pets last as long as we do.

Condolences Steve. Give them some time and then suggest a visit to an animal shelter. A few tugs at the heart strings and they'll adopt a new kitty.

Gumball is adapting quite nicely I'd say.

[skullguise]

That is one seriously classy looking cat!  

[boomana]

Gumball has fully claimed her home.  

[Dusty Chalk]

Very regal.

I like Gumball!

My Mom's Snowshoe Siamese had to be put down. He had kidney problems, and it got much worse recently. This was the only cat that her husband ever liked, and they had a really special bond. 

 

 

Sorry I missed this, and very sorry to hear about your kitty.

Someone dropped a box of kittens off at the vet clinic. My wife couldn't resist.

[Dusty Chalk]

You should call him Zildjian or something.  Or one of the lesser known of your favourite drummers.

 

PS  Very cute.

[grawk]

or a bass player, since everyone knows they never listen to the drummer anyway

[acidbasement]

We'll let his litter-trainedness, or lack thereof, determine whether he's a drummer or bassist.

[Absorbine_Sr]

Nice looking little fellow.

[skullguise]

Way cute, Iain....but, does he eat birds?

[guzziguy]

Very cute.  I don't think I could have resisted him either.

[acidbasement]

No birds eaten yet.  

 

The boys have determined that his name is Joost.

[CarlSeibert]

What. A. Cute. Kitten. I'm smitten.

Our cats both have blue eyes, which makes me even more of a pushover for your new little friend.

Reposted for cuteness.  

 

EDIT:  Okay, I obviously don't know how to repost right, but the kitten is still dang cute.

Thanks, that's very informative.

Hurrah for Joost finding a great home! 

[acidbasement]

Update: he's fitting in very well with the rest of our menagerie.
