kitty update...

Several readers have left comments asking about the kitty we rescued, so I thought I would post a little update. We've decided to call her "Felicity" since she is such a happy kitty now. She's settled right in, and comes running for skritches whenever we open the door to the front room. (Please ignore the awful carpeting! This is one of the few rooms we haven't redone since moving in.)

Felicity is very much a lap cat, and wants nothing more than to be in your arms at all times. She purrs like crazy the minute you pick her up, and gets so excited about being held that she rolls around in your arms. I've been using a Zoom Groom to brush her, and she loves the thing! I leave it out when I'm finished with it, and she will roll around on top of it to massage herself. It's awfully funny to watch!

She still sleeps a lot, but after 4+ days of getting plenty of high-calorie kitten food, she's starting to perk up a bit more, and will bat around a mousie - so long as you are right there to rub her belly while she is doing it, that is. LOL. Have I mentioned how much she likes attention?

I managed to get her to hold still long enough to get some close-ups tonight, so I thought I would share them so you can see her pretty blue eyes.

This one was taken right after she'd eaten. She jumped up on the hubby's lap, and was licking her whiskers clean before settling in for some snuggles.

She has a visit with the vet tomorrow morning, so keep your fingers crossed for a clean bill of health!

Found a kitty...

Happy Sunday! I hope you have been having a great weekend. Mine has been interesting and quite busy! My computer crashed yesterday, so while hubby worked on it, I decided to take some photos of the fruit trees in the backyard since they are all in bloom. While I was puttering around out there, I noticed this:

The poor thing is skin and bones and apparently has been living in a ventilation hole in our foundation for a while. I gave her a bit of food, and immediately had a new best friend.

We've got her set up in our front room now, and the minute you walk in there, she wants you to pick her up and love on her. We made her a bed, but she seems to prefer curling up on top of a low table under the window, so I put a towel and stuffed animal there for her to curl up with. She seems pretty happy with the arrangement.

She is way too friendly to be from a feral litter, so we suspect she either snuck out of her owners home, or is a dump job. We'll be putting posters up in the neighborhood and listing her in the lost & found section of craigslist. If anyone from the Vestal/Appalachin NY area recognizes her, please email me or leave a comment here. We are estimating she is about 4-7 months old, but we won't know for sure until we get her to the vet.

We can't keep her as we already have 2 cats (and hubby put his foot down that 2 is enough!), so if we can't find her former owners, we will be looking for a good home for her once she is up to a healthy weight. If anyone is interested in a super friend, super cuddly kitten, please email me. She will be up to date on all of her shots and will be spayed before going to a new home.
