New Cat



We adopted another cat from the Humane Society. This time it was a 1 year old female and we named her Phoenix (thanks to dreid for the name suggestion). She is very playful and her and Apollo are getting along great. I know that isn't the greatest picture, but she will barely sit still for a moment. We now have 3 cats which I am being told by my husband that means I am on the border of becoming "the crazy cat lady". I don't really mind the title, but we are going to be giving Gemini to my brother-in-law because when we took her there on vacation she seemed to really like being the only cat in the place. It will be sad to see her go, but I know that she will be happier.

Now for a bit of advertisement for the Humane Society. If you are ever looking for a new pet go to the humane society. Depending on your location they may have more than just cats and dogs so keep that in mind if you are in the mood for a more exotic pet. Now more than ever the shelters need your help. Most of them are over populated because of the economy which just puts more stress on the animals. So please if you can afford to take in just one animal do it, every single animal deserves to have a home.

Congrats on the new member of your family. How exciting! I'm also a firm believer in shelter pets, so I appreciate that part of the post as well.

Thanks for the comment. It really makes me sad when I go to the shelter I really wish that I could adopt more, but at this point we can't. Although, I really would like to volunteer there, but I need to wait until after my tendinitis gets a little better.
3 is not borderline cat lady, because 2 is normal, to give them a chance to play with each other. 5 is borderline. When my bother-in-law temporarily moved in with my monster-in-law while his house was being built, they had 7. Now THAT is definitely over the crazy-line.

Do people actually get cats that aren't from a shelter? Why? I can't think of a single cat in my social circle that came from anywhere else.

I am glad to hear that you don't think that I am a crazy cat lady :) I couldn't imagine having 7 cats.

Yes there are still people who are breeding cats and then selling the liters to make money. Then there are people that don't fix their cats and then they are surprised by a pregnancy. I remember growing up the community board used to be covered with cat for sale signs, I would like to think that now people are getting smarter, but I doubt it.
My best friend is a crazy cat lady. 9. You are not.

She's adorable! I really wanted a puppy, but more recently I've grown a liking to cats! Sadly, I can't afford either :(
