So the first Kitty Contender is in our sights. I know a woman who rescues animals of all kinds, and has a kitty rescue charity as well. When I told her of Sherringham's demise she told me she had a girl cat available. Her brother got adopted, but the adopter couldn't take two cats, so the little girl was still awaiting a home. At the time Fernando was still in his One Cat Phase (which we all knew wouldn't last, right?)
I contacted her to see if the girl kitty is still available, if she's playful, and if she does NOT need to be top cat. So far she fits the bill. She is also of the sacred calico clan! So we'd have two calicoes. That would be nice. Maybe another calico would understand Haley's peculiar form of communication ("I hate you! Play with me!!") Mind you, calico is a colouring not a breed, so... maybe not.
It's all very exciting. Fernando is very excited. ...Hopefully Halzebub will share our enthusiasm. It'll be hard to tell at first since the transition period always takes awhile. Better whip out the Feliway. But every night as I sit here with her, she looks boooored. So I'm hoping she'll be glad for the change of pace, and having a young frolicky cat instead of old boys.
