You cannot name your cat after me. Too redundant to call the poor kitten Kit. Call it Typo if you have to name it after me!
Susie, you'll survive your shelter experience just fine! It isn't easy, but it isn't as hard as you're probably imagining it to be, either! And look what you'll have when you leave!How's this for the critter's name: Sweetpea (ha!)
Oh it is wonderful if you will get a cat from a shelter... definitely wonderful to save a cat!!!Can I suggest you maybe look at/consider a slightly older cat eg: 8+ months old, 1/2 years... their personality will have settled a bit and might be a bit easier to handle than kittens.. plus the slightly older cats usually get neglected because everyone wants a cute little kitten.I think you should go in and let the cats come to you and see how they react to you (and you to them) as well as sam to get a bit of an idea... having a strange person picking them up and carrying them to you might be a bit much.. I find a cat will decide pretty quickly if they think you're OK or not - when it's on their terms Anyway I am so glad you are getting a furry friend... it will be wonderful!!!
To help Sam adjust to the idea of having a cat in the house you could call it puppy. Just Kidding.You really have to wait until you see the cats and pick one before you decide on a name. It's all about their looks and personality when giving them a name. After all what would be the point of calling a short haired cat fluffy. That would be like calling a dachshund (wiener dog) Killer.
Glad to hear it'll be indoors only - that makes for a longer lifespan, and much fewer problems for the owner. Catnip affects cats like drugs or alcohol do humans - they get really wacky on it, and many of them LOVE it - they're hysterical to watch when they're "drunk". Some, however, don't like it. One of my loves it, and goes tearing around the house and playing like mad when she has it, jumping all over and fluffing up and pouncing on everything. The other one looks at me as if I'm nuts to be offerring it to her, and ignores it completely.You're in for such a treat with this new addition to your family!
Yep, people nip is commonly referred to as "Scotch", or "Whiskey"!Don't forget to put fresh film & batteries in your camera - I'm hoping for lots of cute photos of your (and Sam) "bonding" with your new love.
Ummm, noel, I'm pretty sure "people nip" is something you smoke, not something you drink!
