I HAVE A NEW KITTEN!

I finally was given a little Calico kitten named Delilah. We got her at a pet shelter. She is a beautiful little thing and so playful. She already has figured out the fridge, I put some dishes in and all the sudden a little blur of white, orange, brown and black flew past me and she started batted at the machine! I kind of think she was proud of "beating" it. I will try to get some nice pictures of Delilah.

Yes, we need pictures, ASAP.

My aunt just acquired a 13oz. (tiny!!) Siamese baby kitten. Apparently, she's 8 weeks old (my aunt took her to the vet already), just a tiny runt. I can't wait to see pictures. However, my aunt lives in Arizona and doesn't use the internet and is slower than molasses in winter, so who knows when I'll see this little kitty. I'm curious to see how this baby Siamese will interact with my aunt's adult Maine Coon and juvenile Maine Coon. Yes, she is becoming the crazy old cat lady, rather rapidly (divorced x2, lives alone, sick & can't get around easily).

I remember when Chloe, my little Egyptian Mau mix, was just a baby. She turns FOUR next month!!

I can't have a kitty, so I live vicariously through the rest of you.

Congrats!

It has been almost a year since we lost our kitty Delilah. She was a joy.

Pictures of Kitten, the stray & feral lumber yard cat, who sadly passed away last summer at the ripe old age of 20; and Toby, the Maine Coon, who used to live with me, and now lives with a friend, far away (2 hours) in Albany.

(Side Note #1: My family owns a lumber yard, and one summer day in 1988, a stray kitten [hence the name, Kitten] walked into our yard. We fed her, and she stayed, for 20 years! We got her spayed and got her all of her shots. She used to be a wild child [she was feral], but she got quite mellow in her old age, and even allowed us to hold her. As far as I can tell, she became partially deaf and got kitty-alzheimer's. It was *so* hard to see her go, but she was struggling, and it was time.)

(Side Note #2: Both of the other two cats, Chloe and Toby, came from a shelter, despite Toby being a [95% likely] purebred Maine Coon, and Chloe being an [90% likely] Egyptian Mau mix. I can tell Chloe is a mix, but there's no debating she is at least part Egyptian Mau [the only naturally spotted domestic cat]. Her and her three brothers, who I also met at the shelter, were found abandoned in New York City, which is a big area for Egyptian Maus. My best guess is that someone's purebred got out, mated with a typical tabby alleycat, and produced Chloe and her brothers. As far as I know, Chloe's three brothers all got adopted by a lady from Mamakating, and I hope they're all doing well. This "side note" was to let everyone know that you *can* get a purebred cat from a shelter, so if your heart is set on a certain breed, check the shelters anyway, because people *do* abandon purebred cats. My aunt's new Siamese kitten was just *given* to her, as well, as someone in her grandson's class had a cat who had kittens.)

Bob Barker says to spay and neuter your pets!

I'm done hijacking your thread now, OP. Back to talk of Delilah, and hopefully, PICTURES!
