More kitties...

Big Family now...

Wow, it's been a long time since mom entered me on Catster. I was the third kitty in the house at that time, and now I'm one of nine. Yes... NINE!!
They are okay, or were okay at first. After me, mommy received three female foster kitties that were sisters. They came from the same rescue group that saved me from the street. However, they were even more scared of people than I was. Mom decided that no-one would take on such unfriendly freightened cats and since they were very close, she wanted to keep all three sisters together and adopted them. We went from 3 to 6 just like that!!

They were okay for about 14 months, and then started picking on me, and urinating in the house. Now mom & dad have to keep them in a separate room and are trying to re-train them and socialize them more. I hope it works!! We all got along since Etta, J.J. and June always liked cats, they just have trouble trusting humans & are a bit crazy. I think they decided to let their crazy show after they knew mom & dad would never give them up no matter how badly they behaved.

My problem is with our newest member, Missy. She for some reason is afraid of me and won't play with me. I tried to explain that I'm the sweetest girl in the house, but I think she only likes boys!! I try everyday to approach her but she growls at me. It's actually kind of fun since no-one in the house is afraid of me. I will not give up. I will try to be her friend everday until shgives in. One day she will learn that I'm the friendliest cat in the house and wouldn't even hurt a fly. Well.... maybe a fly!!!

I'm still slighlty afraid of humans, but I hang out when company comes over. I play hard to pet, and I hate being held. I'm a sucker for treats & all I have to do is give my mom that wide eyed I want a treat look and she melts. She tells me everyday how beautiful and sweet I am. Maybe one day I will let her hold me for more than 2 seconds.

More Kitties....

I was the third kitty to come into the house when mommy started to volunteer with a rescue group. I was the first kitty to be adopted from the Staten Island Council for Animal Welfare. Then mommy & daddy decided to foster, and we ended up keeping three feral sisters. Mommy said they needed a home since feral cats are hard to adopt, and since I was the same way, I guess I understand. My new sisters were nice to me in the beginning but now they are ganging up on me. I'm Cinderella and they are my three evil stepsisters. Mommy & Daddy then brought three more male kittens home to foster... all orange! We were not going to keep any of them, but two were adopted together, so we had to keep Buddy with his foster family since he loved everyone & everyone loved him. I now have three brothers & three sisters, and there are two foster kitties in the house. Timmy looks like Buddy, but he is a large orange male that was just rescued from outside. I like him a lot, so I hope mommy & daddy adopts him. Nina looks and acts just like me.... Beautiful & shy!!
