I Got A New Kitty!

His name is Oliver and he is really cute! He is 3 years old and is a beautiful orange color with white feet. He and my current kitty Joey are past the point of fighting but they are not quite at a point where they are ready to nap together or anything. Oliver likes to sleep in my dirty laundry basket for some odd reason.

The adoption lady came by to check out my apartment and make sure it was a habitable place for cats, and she actually got down on her hands and knees to check and make sure the cat couldn’t fit under any appliances in the kitchen and checked all over the floor for loose rubber bands. I thought that was a bit extreme but I suppose if I were looking for homes for animals I might be a little concerned too.

Hooray for kitties!

Umm… you might want to get that site to remove or rename the ‘Poke her’ option. It’s Brit slang for something else entirely. :slight_smile:

Good on yer for adopting an older cat.

???

This is a cat hazard? Or was it just an excuse to crawl around and snag a dime she spotted on the floor?

“That site” is Facebook. Where you been? :smiley:

I doubt they’re gonna change their “Poke Her”; folks seem to enjoy it so much. “I’ve been Poking her on Facebook for three months now…” etc.

They can eat them and cause major intestinal issues.

Your kitties are JUST LIKE my kitties, except my orange one is a fattles.

My grey tabby is the fat one, though hopefully with a buddy to chase around now he will lose a bit of weight.

Yeah, facebook is not going to remove the “poke her” option. I’ll let them know you suggested it though. :slight_smile:

Squeee! Kitties!

Handsome guy :).

My Oliver.

Only his full name is Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. Because he is geeky like that. Or I am, I forget which. Usually he goes by “Ollie.” Or sometimes, “bitey.”

Snoozing with my own orange & white, Rupert, who likes to pretend he’s cute.

Well, my Oliver doesn’t have his full name yet, but Joey’s full name is Joey Jo Jo Jabadu Jr. (That last one is a Simpsons reference, just so those of you who might have missed that episode don’t think I am insane.)
