Kitty handoff

[xrian]

Whew!

My longtime friend ninevirtues came by this afternoon and took my extremely energetic tabby cat home with her to her new house. This was clearly an exchange created by Karma (or something). A few weeks ago I was reluctantly coming to the conclusion that this particular cat and I were just not a good personality match, and lo and behold, two days later ninevirtues

Diamond came to me as an adult and has turned out to be perfect. I'm sure you'll find some lovely, mellow cats once you start looking.

I was going to mention that -- if you want a cat that's a bit mellower, an older one is definitely the place to go. I hate going to humane societies because I know I can't take all the cats home, but it's much easier to leave kittens behind because I know someone else will likely pick them. Slinky was about two and a half when I got her, and I haven't missed her kitten stage at all.

All's well that ends well

That's exactly why and how Poppy Cat moved to Marin County a few months ago. He's much happier in a place where he can go outside all the time and patrol an entire complex, and he gets so much exercise that he's lost his tummy. He's grown a bit. I got to see him over Thanksgiving in his new digs.

My older black and white cat (12+) is far happier with the new girl kitty who took up in my back yard in June. She's young but has a much calmer, gentler personality.

Thanks, I've had very mixed feelings about this, and knowing someone else who's given a cat away for reasons like this makes me feel better ;)
