indoors Arrival Story: After Cee Cee passed on Sunday, we took a drive Friday to Angel Oak on Johns Island, near Charleston, SC. Angel Oak is thought to be about 1400 years old and there is something very magickal about it-it's branches reach out and touch the ground then curve upward to embrace the world. When we went back to the parking lot, there was a family there, and a little boy who was reaching under a car. I heard him say 'he just ate a piece of my cracker'. There, under the car was a small, thin kitten.
The family, after the lady tried to grab the kitten a couple times, left.
We are prepared for emergencies such as this, and always keep a couple cans of cat food handy. I cracked open a can and knelt by the car. The small, cautious little guy edged up and eyed me carefully.
It took me about 20 minutes before I could scruff him. I expected him to try to fight me, but he didn't. He never stopped eating even when scruffed.
The lady in the gift shop told us that there was a mom cat with another kitten as well-but we looked and didn't see her, and after awhile, with the kitten wrapped in a blanket, we had to leave.
We bought him to a no kill shelter called St. Frances in Georgetown, but they were filled to the brim, but very kindly tested, vaccinated him, and treated him for fleas and ticks with Revolution, and provided us with some antibiotics as it appeared he was starting a slight cold. We had to pick a few ticks off him, and a couple fleas as well.
He traveled well, so long as he wasn't forced to stay in his carrier-he snuggled on my lap on the way home. On our way to NY he was very well behaved and after exploring the car, napped most of the way except when using the box or eating. Bio: Dream boat in training #36 2012 by Samoa!

Guys,
Short on prezzies, but wanted to say kudos to you and your dad on your birhtdays! You guys are my idols! I'm learning to be cool-and tomcatlike from you!
I wonder what you're doing for your birthdays...are you playing? Getting special treats? Playing some more?
Whatever it is, I'd like to come over and join in!
Hi Everyone! It's me, CK!
Well, yesterday Mommy took out this 'velope. It's a big Velope. It has sometihng in it. She takes out the Thing.
She puts the Thing down.
I come over and Sniff it. Mommy says 'CK, Aunt Jenny and Ingen and Novi sent you this." And I say "Ok!' with my big amazed eyes and go over and sniff it.
She says 'It's a Harness, CK. It's Novi's Harness he outgrew."
Now, I am sniffing it, and it smells....like....like....
THERE IS ANOTHER CAT HERE!
I am looking at the Thing. I back away. I tap it with a paw. It doesn't move, except when I make it move. But there is something about it that says THERE IS ANOTHER CAT HERE!
I paw at it again.
Then I stick my head in the 'Velope. My head is small. (Daddy says like my brain). I put my head in and sniff good. There is a funny smell like anther cat is in there, but I am not seeing the cat. There is a faint smell of another cat, but that cat migt have got outta the 'Velope. The other one...it could still be here.
I walk around and sniff. I do not Smell the Other cat.
Mommy is making laughing noises. She says 'CK, Novi is in Washington, not here. It is just his harness for you to wear."
But I am looking for Novi. I don't know what a Novi is, but must be a big cat. Must be. But the Cat is in the Harness or the 'Velope. But I DON'T SEE HIM!!!!
And I am puzzled. I bat the envelope. I bat the Harness. I am not letting Mommy get it on me. I can't! BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER CAT IN IT-AND THAT MUST BE IT!!! HE'S INVISIBLE!
I leap up in the air and run into the cat tree hole.
I will wait. He will come out.
Smokie looks at me oddly. He gets up and goes over the the 'Velope. He sniffs it. Then he opens his mouth so he can smell it better.
He then gets up and jumps back in his chair and lookst at Mommy. Then he closes his eyes. He doesn't care.
I'm going to wait right here and they'll see when that Cat Shows Himself.
On Friday night some people came....two ladies! They said I was handsome and admired me. But they petted 'Lila and talked with mommy. And then Lila got put into her little soft carrying bag and the ladies took her out.
I watched her go.
I thought she would be back.
She isn't.
I don't know where she went. Sometimes I go into the bedroom and call to her. I say 'rrrrrt?' 'Rrrrrrt?' and she still doesn't come back.
I can still sniff her.
But she isn't there.
I jump on Natalie, but she fights and doesn't play.
Then I get upset and go and sit on the window ledge.
Yesterday Ruffy came in with me. He wouldn't play, but did sit next to me and purred and purred.
Mommy bought me two new catnip mice, and has played with me more. She told me that 'Lila isn't here, that she got 'dopted' and that I was 'dopted' and came here-and the ladies 'dopted' 'Lila and now she is living in another house with the two ladies. She said they will make Lila happy. But I am not happy. I miss having her to play with. She liked me.
I went to play with the BUB yesterday and she smacked me. She plays rough. She never lets me win.
Lila didn't play so rough. She and me we boxed and wrassled, but she liked me and let me win. She sometimes played with me with toys, and then we would play smacky paws through the little spaces in the carriers.
I miss Lila.
Mommy told me that she will get another foster kitty in soon for me to play with. But I miss my friend.
Why? Why did she have to go?
CK
(CK's Mom, Debbie)
I feel so badly for CK. He comes into the bedroom and trills, calling for Delilah, who was adopted last Friday evening. We miss her, but have had one report so far that she's 'taken over' and her new family are loving her as they all learn about one another.
This was what we wanted, but we are worried about 'our little man' who has an apartment full of cats to entertain him but seems not to be able to be consoled. We feel so badly-he wants to engage Natalie, who can't stand him and who rejects him and fights with him, mistaking his play for fighting.
Princess does play with him, but she's a very self engaged kitty, and is as happy by herself as with him. They do play, but Delilah was the perfect cat, who really seemed to love CK...
Does anyone have any suggestions? We hope to take in another foster, and hope that he will learn that cats coming and going is an ok thing...but meanwhile, I feel so sorry. If we had the space, resources, we would have relocated to a larger place and kept Delilah, but we're glad that she's found people who really and truly love her.
