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,

Mowgli at 5 months old PS - The orange on his paws are soft claws. We didn't declaw him and used caps instead. (Couldn't declaw per a contract we signed with the breeder.)

Pixie - She's now a year old but in this photo she was a couple months old.
All three of our cats are Maine Coons. So far Mowgli is the biggest. He's almost 13 lbs and from tail to head is apx 40" long.
Are those painted nails I see...?
They're softpaws, like he said in the post.

So we brought Kipsy home today. He's getting settled in our extra room, but he is definitely an affectionate sweetheart.
