I have been adopted it seems (WARNING - CUTE KITTY pics inside)

[NMDemDist2]

I just moved to NM and this little cat wouldn't leave. After 5 days he (she?) looked so skinny and pitiful I started feeding it. Today was the first day the chairs got moved to the brand new deck and look who jumped on my lap and started purring like a freight train. Seems I've been adopted. A visit to the vet is in order in the next few days I guess.....

PS the mess next to the deck is the old bathroom stuff dumped to make way for the new shower woohoo!

[politicat]

1. She's adorable!!!

She looks a lot like my very first kitty.

If you decide you can't keep her, I'll so meet you half-way in Santa Fe....

Sounds like you have a friend!!

[NMDemDist2]

3. she IS adorable and such a little toughie too. my dogs love cats and

they all want to sniff it and check it out and she (he?) spits and swats and they just backup and then come in again to love it.

it's getting better about the dogs now after 10 days

[bluethruandthru]

2. Animals can spot people with good hearts!

She's been waiting for you to come be her mom!

[NMDemDist2]

4. ROFL "suckers" you mean

:rofl:

[bluethruandthru]

10. Yep....suckers!

:hi:

...with good hearts!

[NMDemDist2]

19. yeah, that's not a goofy grin on my face or anything LOL n/t

[Rosco T.]

58. Yeah.. they can see the giant neon "SUCKERS" sign on the roof..

.. even if we can't :D

[NMDemDist2]

64. oh good! I thought it was tattooed to my forehead

the roof is better hehe

[zanne]

61. There's an old African saying that goes...

"A cat will always find the kindest heart in the village."

[NMDemDist2]

65. wise indeed! n/t

[bluethruandthru]

73. I believe it! n/t

[LadyoftheRabbits]

5. So precious!

What a sweetie! :loveya:

[NMDemDist2]

8. yeah it really is and as friendly as you can ask for

he (she?) is just a little lover kitty for sure

[calico1]

6. Awww...she is precious.

I hope you do decide to keep her. She seems to have made up her mind!

[NMDemDist2]

11. i'm not gonna let her starve and she won't leave

so i guess i'm keeping her :shrug:

what's one more on an acre? and hopefully she'll (he'll?) be a good mouser

[graywarrior]

7. KITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, she has no idea how cute she is.

[NMDemDist2]

15. oh yes it does gray! and she (he?) plays it like a violin believe me

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

17. And you LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[NMDemDist2]

18. well, yeah. I'm a sucker for a healthy purrrrrrrrrrrrrr n/t

[Fredda Weinberg]

9. A parent is probably nearby

Charles Atlas (see avatar) came back to me in Florida with his daughter. She didn't want to share our space and promptly moved in with the humans upstairs. They spent a year or so conversing all day from their respective porches.

Charly's family never noticed the relationship, though they're spitting images of each other. I happened to meet them as Charles and I were moving back to NY and finally heard how happy they were to have been blessed.

May your kitten bring you equal pleasure.

[NMDemDist2]

13. it's from next door I know and I took it back over there three times a day

for the first week

but it just kept coming back and doing the cute kitten sleeping on the porch thing and the meow good morning thing and the cute rub across your ankles thing

how could I resist all that cuteness?? :loveya:

[jobycom]

14. Wow

I haven't seen you in ages! You lerk around here, or have you returned from an absence? :hi:

[Fredda Weinberg]

21. Came back to DU almost a year ago

I made it back up to NYC again, this time after my mother passed away (when the whole thing with Bev Harris and he should not be named happened, we were doing hospice at home).

But don't participate much in the lounge. Love the kitty pix, tho.

Hope all's with you and yours

[jobycom]

22. All's well. You know

someone brought up our debate on Scarborough not long ago, so we've made it somewhat into DU lore. Plus, I can't tell the story anymore without finding myself making sure I don't contradict the points you proved to me. It's hard to get debates that involved around here anymore. Too many people lob grenades and run to the next thread. Price of growth, lots more threads than back then.

Nice to see you. COndolences on your loss.

[Fredda Weinberg]

24. Au revoir n/t

[jobycom]

12. A cat's love is a badge of honor

and a decade or more of servitude and higher cleaning bills. :rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

16. it's staying outside! I swear! I need a barn cat

i'll get it's shots and get it fixed and feed it but THAT'S IT!!!!


(until it figures out the dog door) :banghead:

[jobycom]

20. Dog door, sweet little pleading look in its eyes, whatever

It will be inside by tomorrow night! :rofl:

[Rosco T.]

59. It's already got the dog door scoped... just waiting till a rainy night..

.. and you wake up with a PURRRRRRRRRRRRR under your chin.

[NMDemDist2]

66. LOL well last night was his (her?) chance. it's rained lots n/t

[TygrBright]

69. ummm.... mind the coyotes....

...they just love a tasty snack of outdoor kitty.

worriedly,
Bright

[NMDemDist2]

71. he can hide in the yard and the dogs will protect him (her?) n/t

[AirmensMom]

23. OMG, what a cutie!

:loveya:

I was adopted too. Must be something in the water. :shrug:

[NMDemDist2]

26. see posts 2 & 4 above

hope your lil guy is sweet and cute too!

[AirmensMom]

28. Ain't it the truth!

:rofl:

My guy ain't so little ... but he's cute!

[NMDemDist2]

29. oh yeah! I remember that thread and he's a beautiful boy

and so elegant!

[Kajsa]

25. He (she?) is sooo cute!

He picked you because he knew you would take care of him!

They are very intelligent, our little kitty buddies.

Congratulations on your new home and kitty buddy!

:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

27. thanks! n/t

[RevCheesehead]

30. I keep hoping some adorable kitty will adopt us.

Looks like you got a winner! :loveya:

[NMDemDist2]

39. well I send it to ya, but it would be a long trip to WI in a Priority Mail

box

:rofl:

[Blue Gardener]

44. A stray in my back yard

He's a sweetie, but a little skittish yet. If you want to come to Iowa to catch him, he's yours. He needs a good home, but I don't think my two indoor kitties would appreciate it. Plus, I think he's been outdoors for too long to want to live in the house.

[NMDemDist2]

46. try to at least catch it and get it fixed so there isn't a kitty

population explosion in your neighborhood

[WolverineDG]

83. I got 6 cuties outside

2 are still kittens. They're yours if you can come down here & catch 'em. :)

dg

[ThomCat]

31. Congratulations! Getting adopted is always a wonderful

experience! :hug:

[NMDemDist2]

40. i was begrudgingly feeding it until......

it jumped on my lap on the deck and just started purring up a storm

I'm hooked now :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

32. What a cute kitty!

I'm glad he/she adopted you. And I especially love how kitty look in the second picture.

[NMDemDist2]

41. yeah, it was sucking up big time in that one ROFL n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

33. Yep, you are doomed. Your house is not your own

it is in fact, her house and you are just borrowing it.

Cute little cat, all right.

[NMDemDist2]

42. yeah but at least it's gracious about letting us use it (except for the

dogs to whom she is ANYTHING but gracious)

:evilgrin:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

34. PRECIOUS!!!

I love the second picture especially. Beasties know who their friends are! Bless you for taking the little cutie in.

[NMDemDist2]

43. yeah it's a little cutie all right

and already starting to get me wrapped around it's little claw :banghead:

[Whoa_Nelly]

35. What a darling!

Animals know when they've found the right person! Lucky you! :loveya: :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

45. yeah

I had "Sucker" written in invisible (except to kitties) ink on my forehead LOL

[Gormy Cuss]

36. Smart little beast, eh?

That furball knows that life will be good now. ;-)

[NMDemDist2]

48. yup

he's a smartie and a Cutie! (she??)

[Digit]

37. Oh boy, have you been HAD!

You know of course that animals choose YOU. It almost seems to me she was waiting for you, or at least that is the impression I get.

Funny how just as I began to type this my furball came up and wanted some loving!
I swear animals are psychic!
She has malignant cancer, but they call her the miracle cat!

[NMDemDist2]

38. what a gorgeous furbaby!

and it sure seemed like this one was waiting for me!

[xchrom]

47. so sweet!

now you have to let her in the house.

so she can get better at running the dogs lives.

[calico1]

49. And sleep on the bed.

:-)

[NMDemDist2]

51. HUSH!

DH's face would explode

[xchrom]

53. other wise known as the kitty throne!

all hail the kitty!

[NMDemDist2]

50. we hope not DH is highly allergic to kitties

and it seems they are doing better today. he (she?) barely looked up with the dog gave her a sniff

course the kitty's head was buried into the breakfast kibble at the time

[xchrom]

52. awww -- that's too bad!

can dh take pills? -- the princess will have a hard time if she has to live outside all the time won't she?

looks like a she to me -- but obviously i have no idea.

[NMDemDist2]

54. he does take pills already but kitty dander gets through n/t

[calico1]

55. Can't you have hubby stay outside?

Just kidding.....:silly: :)

[xchrom]

56. yeah -- kitty allergies can be tough.

[Phillycat]

57. Oh, he's so very cute!

What a lover! :loveya:

[NMDemDist2]

63. yes he is and yes he is LOL n/t

[MissMillie]

60. How fortuituous for both of you!

She's a cutie! Have you named her yet?

[NMDemDist2]

62. does "Kitty" count? hehehe n/t

[MissMillie]

67. We once had a cat named "Kitty"

it suited him well.

[TygrBright]

68. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....

...just... AWWWWWWWWWWW....

That is SO cute. Lucky you! Found a vet in your new area yet?

gooshily,
Bright

[NMDemDist2]

75. there is one, but they put you on hold for HOURS

I drive by it on the way into town so I"ll stop by and make appts for all the beasties soon

[ceile]

70. So precious!

The kitty knows "good people" when she sees 'em!

[NMDemDist2]

76. well, (s?)he's always darn glad to see me for sure LOL n/t

[smokey nj]

72. Congratulations!!!!!!!....

Your new kitty looks a lot like my Cosmo. I hope she brings you much joy for many years.

[NMDemDist2]

77. thanks! i've never had a white kitty or a spotted on like this

[Shredr]

74. Congrats on the move and the new kitty!

[deadparrot]

[NMDemDist2]

82. it's a smart lil kitty too! we had a big thunderstorm tonight and I set up

the carrier out of the wind and put some food in it and the kitty stayed in there til the storm blew over

smart little devil

and I saw it's parent tonight too, big white kitty with a LONG tail and just a "cap" of the grey like cutie kitty. don't know if it's momma or poppa, but my little fruit didn't fall far from that tree and will hopefully inherit that absolutely gorgeous long tail

[WolverineDG]

84. Long tails & big ears =

good mouser. :)

From one sucker to another, congratulations on the new furbaby!
