I adopted a new cat!

[Lavender Brown]

She is six years old and a lovely brown tabby. I'll post some pics when she settles in.

Right now she's on a windowsill meowing at the neighbor's dog. :D The people at the shelter said she used to have other pets in her house (her previous human passed away), but she's going to be my only pet. I hope she won't be too lonely. :(

1. Enjoy your new feline companion. nt

2. Thanks for adopting an "older" cat

What is her name?

[Lavender Brown]

7. Angel

She has a weight problem, but is otherwise healthy. I'm reading up on how to handle her weight so she doesn't develop other issues related to that.

3. She'll have you

Cats are profoundly tolerant of their human companions, even to the point of enjoying their company. Bless you for allowing her to choose you. ;-)

[Lavender Brown]

16. I feel like she did choose

She was in a "community room" with a few other cats at the shelter, and when I sat down, she jumped in my lap. :) She's very cuddly and friendly.

[Arugula Latte]

4. Yay!

Glad you gave her a home! :hi:

[BuelahWitch]

5. It's wonderful that the two of you found each other

Tabby's are fun and talkative!

[Lavender Brown]

14. She is a lot more talkative than my last cat

I don't know if this is her usual self or if she's just meowing a lot because of the move. I hope she's not too stressed out.

6. Here is her shelter pic from Petfinder

Her name is Angel. :) This was the name her other owner gave her-I'm not going to change it. It suits her. :)

8. oh so cute!

[Sanity Claws]

9. Her eyes look sad

I imagine she'll brighten up once she's with you a couple of days and knows it's home.
It'll be interesting to compare a later photo with this photo taken at the shelter.

[Lavender Brown]

17. She does have a sad look

but she seems really happy and purry so far.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. What a pretty girl.

:loveya: Angel :loveya:

[Beaverhausen]

11. She's beautiful

you are both angels!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

13. What a sweet-looking kitty

I'm sure she'll give you many years of companionship.

[Skittles]

15. very pretty

speaks a lot with her eyes I am guessing

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

20. Too cute! n/t

[raccoon]

23. What a lovely cat! Kudos to you for adopting an adult cat. nt

[Arugula Latte]

24. Soooo pretty!

:loveya:

:toast:

[liberaltrucker]

12. Bless you, fellow feline fancier!

Here's to a long feline-human companionship!

:toast:

As far as her being lonely, no problem. Cats are extremely
adaptable. Mine is an "only child" and she does just fine!

On behalf of her, thank you!

:hug:

[Lavender Brown]

18. Thanks

My last cat (my only other pet ever) was also on her own, but that was from the time she was a kitten. Angel seems pretty adaptable, but it must be weird to go from a home with other cats to a big shelter to a house without any other animals. I hope she doesn't get too bored when I'm at work.

19. Kittens are cute, but older cats

are so appreciative when they're adopted. I've had Max (now about 12) for almost four years. He'd been with a foster for almost a year when I called about him and she told me I was the first person to ask about him. :cry: We've been happily together ever since.

Bless you for adopting an older kitty! :hug:

[tabbycat31]

21. thank you for adopting an older kitty

and you better post pics >^..^<

[Danger Mouse]

22. Have fun with your kitty.

:D

[Bertha Venation]

25. Thank you for choosing an older cat.

Bless you. O8)

[Orsino]

26. "She's going to be my only pet."

Famous last words. Good luck with that. :rofl:

And bless you for adopting. :patriot:

[Lavender Brown]

30. I really wish I could get another!

[Dogtown]

27. Kind of you to pick an older girl.

They're often unadoptable because lots of people want kittens.

Any adoption is good, but you get extra pts!

:applause:

[SoxFan]

28. Thank You!

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

[Lavender Brown]

29. New pics (dial-up warning)

Her new favorite chair:




The bed I bought her, complete with catnip fishie:


The bed she chose-a box that was about to be thrown out. Typical!

[Beaverhausen]

31. LOL!!! She looks right at home

She really is a beauty.

[Lavender Brown]

35. She made herself comfy right away

She tested all the beds and sofas. :rofl:

[Sanity Claws]

32. You've cured her sad eyes!

I commented on her sad eyes in the shelter picture. She looks so much happier now. You must be doing something right! Congratulations on your new furchild.

[tabbycat31]

34. I love her

enjoy your kitty

[Brigid]

33. Such a lovely girl.

I know you and Angel will be very happy together. :hug:
