I've been convinced to get a third cat.

[crim son]

She's eleven years old, black, incredibly fat, and her name is "Brenda." The's a Humane Society featured cat and my daughter has decided that Brenda is necessary to help her deal with her parents' divorce. :eyes: Not only will I have three cats but one of them will be named Brenda. Sigh.

Actually, I'm very pleased. She'll require a chair of her own and I already love her. We pick her up at noon! :woohoo:

I've been assured that she gets along very well with other cats and I do hope so, because Maximouse and BenBen barely tolerate one another as it is.

Here's Brenda's rap sheet (note... I don't know what kind of photoshopping they did here... she's twice the size of the cat in the picture :rofl:)

1. I already have 3

and I've fallen in love w/ one at the local Cat Hospital

Templeton... I want Templeton

[crim son]

5. He has just the cutest look on his face! I want Templeton too.

:loveya:

[ceile]

9. No.

I want Templeton.


What a sweet baby. Are you really thinking of adopting him?

[MissMillie]

10. I really can't

My apartment is too small for a 4th cat. And so is my bank account. It wouldn't be fair to any of them to take Templeton.


The irony is that I grew up in a town called Templeton.

2. sounds wonderful

just make sure the lounge gets plenty of kitty pics.

[crim son]

6. I will. Brenda is mammoth so she'll be an oddity if nothing else.

Yay!

[raccoon]

3. Sounds great. Hope everybody gets along. nt

[crim son]

7. I'll let you know.

She's an indoor cat while the others are outdoor cats. That might be a good thing.

[ceile]

4. Be sure to post pics.

You're a great person for taking in an 11 cat. :thumbsup:

[crim son]

8. That did factor in to our decision.

She'd already been adopted and then rejected because she didn't get along with the new owner's dogs (no shit, sherlock). Thanks!

[ThomCat]

11. That's awesome!

I'm so glad you're taking in an older cat. :hug:

I hope she makes peace with your other cats. :)

Post pictures when you can.

[DainBramaged]

12. I am so glad you have decided to get another fur baby

Until last October 13 (a Friday) I had three but Little man Binx ( the grey kittie in the picture) Passed away at the ripe age of 13.

A little over a year ago I adopted Picasso, The Fat Man



He boxes, talks till you have to give him something to occupy him, and has become my Bud. He has taken over half of my desk and watches patiently as imagoes dance across the monitor.

I will soon get another furbaby to fill the void. I'm getting over the loss of Binx, and like you, I KNOW a cat house is a happy house!:rofl: :rofl: :hug: :hi:

[DainBramaged]

13. Bump for kitties

[yellowdogintexas]

18. Picasso looks like my Lewis LardButt

(Lewis is on back w/feet in air).

[DainBramaged]

19. OMG they both have those classic Kliban faces

[yellowdogintexas]

20. yeah, don't you love it? Most classic Kliban of all inside:

my old late great Atlas, still miss that cat and he died when my daughter was 2 (she is now almost 23) He was a wonderful kitty.


big boy, too:

[YDogg]

14. We have been feeding a cat on our patio for a few days ...

... and figure it either is lost, or belonged to a neighbor who died, or is otherwise abandoned. She's a skinny little girl, perhaps a year old. Mostly black and brown, in patches. Our dog like her (he's good with cats), and our other two cats did not react badly when I let them smell her scent on my hand. What to do, what to do? We have always had good luck with "found" cats ...

[SPKrazy]

15. Soon the house will be full of cats

:P

Well maybe not


:hi:

sounds good but maximouse, benben, and brenda. something isn't quite right there :rofl:

[zanne]

16. You made my day.

I'm so glad there's someone out there who's willing to adopt a fat, 11 year-old cat. It gives me the warm fuzzies. O8)

[buddhamama]

17. cool !

i think it's great y'all are adopting.

i wish i could see your Brenda but the page expired.

YAY! Congrats on the newest member of the family. :) :hi:

[Blue Gardener]

21. I'm up to four

I had two for eight years and thought that was enough. Two more needed homes this year, and I couldn't say no, so they are now part of the family. This really is the limit, I can't afford any more! I love them all dearly though.

[Guava Jelly]

22. Bless you for giving Brenda a home

I always have three cats..If one passes I fill the void with another.
It just feels right to me to have three :)

[eppur_se_muova]

23. I read that as 'convicted' the 1st time ...

so what'd you do?
