RE: Curator Cat: Caturday Extravaganza of Kitten and Cat Photos!

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

When my Sammi Jo entered our lives and I am sure you know the story as I have posted it here many times.

We were not prepared. Sammi was totally unplanned. We still had two 17 year old cats. The stress this @krazzy-kitty caused way back then was so unfair to our original OG cats.

Love the fact that you have it planned and your hoomans are "cat people"

We look back on our mistakes of throwing this krazzy kitten into the mix back then and stressing the old cats.

We should have done it like your doing with Smudge.

The whole thing was fairly well planned, ahead of time. The exact timing wasn't, of course... that the shelter was suddenly running their "rapid adoption program" (half price adoptions or get two for the price of one) was completely unexpected.

We'd actually seen this litter (of 5, as I recall) on the shelter web site, but it wasn't time, at the time. That two of them were still there — and that they happened to be the two we WOULD have asked to adopt — was just a surprise, after six weeks.

Evidently, they were the last two because they were the most skittish in the litter. People go for "friendly" kittens. Curator Cat was also hiding in the background when we adopted him... and he's one of the sweetest natured cats we've known... and these two seem to to be following that pattern, as they start to emerge from their "shells."

Hopefully the "soft intro" we're doing with Smudge will help everyone be friends. So far, so good!
