Adorable new fuzzbutt, Grapefruit! And you needn’t worry about anybody not being too fond of kitties around here. There’s a powerful pro-kitty consortium that keeps the anti-kitties out of these sorts of threads.
We found him at the local cat shelter! The people there say he’s about a year old. My sister had cats before, but the last one died before I moved in, so this is a new experience for me. Think I can shirk litter box duties with this excuse?
I took more pictures on our digital camera, but this is the only one she’s uploaded. There is one I took where it shows off his marble patterns wonderfully! I’m sad I can’t share it.
He doesn’t have a name yet. So far, no suggestions we’ve made have been approved by the other party, so we’re still coming up with something that will stick for both of us. Anyone have suggestions? Both of us prefer human names over obvious animal names.
That’s the truth! Your new baby reminds me of my sweet orange boy Ulysses. I am sure you and your new kitty will have many happy years together. Thanks for sharing!!
Aw thanks, they are crazy cats and a lot of fun. In your picture it looks as though Ulysses has green eyes–is that accurate? So pretty! Wally is my first ginger nut and if he had opposable thumbs I think we would be in real trouble.
Grapefruit, the only naming rule we have in our house for cats and dogs is that they have to end in a Y or IE sound. So we currently have Eddie, Wally and Chloe. We’ve had Molly and Sammie but they are no longer with us. Post back what you name your guy.
I’ve posted these before, but here are my babies, Calvin and Hobbes.
These were taken the day we brought them home, about a month or so ago. I need to get some new pictures - they’ve gotten a lot bigger.
