I must add my darling Matisse.

It has been said that God can only give a creature either beauty or brains.... and our cat is VERY beautiful.

According to the Vet he is something called a norwegian forest cat, a relative of the maine coon.

Looking cute up in his tower.

Sleeping on my chair... anywhere i was previously sitting seems to be a nice bed.

Being disgusted by the direction a thread he was following has taken.

Of course, every model needs a good head shot.

OK: I love the look in the dog's eye in the picture with Izzy! Looks like he knows all hope is lost.

I like looking at all the kitty pictures.

We are adopting tomorrow! We were planning on getting 2 young cats/kittens and were visiting a couple shelters to figure out which one we wanted to adopt from. We went to one last weekend, that we really liked. Too early for kitten season, but I made the "mistake" of picking up one of the older cats there. His name is Kipsy, he's all black and he's 7 years old. He was so affectionate, started purring and talking to us. When I put him back down on his shelf, he looked like he wanted to throw himself back in my arms. Since we were there only to check things out, we left without seeking anymore info about him. But then I couldn't stop thinking about him. When they reopened for the week, DH called and found out that he was there because his owner had died unexpectedly, and the owner's family didn't want to deal with him. That just broke my heart even more. I was already worried for him, because he was an older kitty, and being all black I thought would make it difficult for him to find a home... so I decided he was ours. It's been a busy week here, so we couldn't go back to the shelter until tomorrow. I have his room all ready for him. DH & I haven't had kitties since we both lived at home, so about 15 years! But we didn't want to adopt until we bought a house. We'll see how he adjusts, and then we may get the kittens next year,

I always end up with the kitties that "choose" me, not the kitties I thought I was looking for, lol. Bless you for considering the older cat. I don't know about where you live, but here, there have been news stories over the years that our local shelter, when it runs out of cage space, has put down black full-grown cats because they are black. Apparently, around here, that makes them less desirable. And the gray striped ones are apparently too "ordinary". That's how I always end up with those 2 kinds, lol.
