Must be doper week for[new](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471055) [kittehs.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471456) Yep, we’ve added a 4th feline to our household, don’t have any piccies yet, but will post as soon as I get some. My roommate & I were at work last night, & we were sitting out on the smoker patio, when we spotted her. I called "kitty kitty kitty " & she just came flying. She’s skin & bones, poor thing, & she’s got a bellyfull of worms. The local cat shelter is full and, well… I fell in love. We’re keeping her quarantined for now, but every time I go into the downstairs bathroom to check on her, she’s thrilled to see me. We’re calling her Venus, because her eyes are so bright. My husband is a little annoyed XD but, he’ll get over it. How much more trouble can 3 cats be than 4? right? ---

much good karma to you, **janis**. god rewards those who look after the furred ones, rest assured. i went all the way to chattanooga, tennessee, for my little girl last year: a dope classic! the karma’s seriously in my corner, too! 😃 be advised there might be more than one worming session in your future. my dear little peggy took a couple to de-worm her, too. the poor little thing was stuffed full, but she came through just fine. looking forward to pictures. kittehs rule on the dope! ---

A quick update on our little girl. Last Saturday Mr J took her outside & she slipped her collar & escaped (Dunno what he was thinking!!) Fortunately my roomate found her the next morning… She is safe & well, gaining weight, & adjusting to the other kitties in the household (Albeit slowly) I may have a picture soon!
