Sad and lonely for a kitty...

[goofynina]

Ohhhh great, not even a whole day with my new kitty and she has attitude,  yep, she is stuck up,  i went to go pet her and she looked up at me, rolled over and went back to sleep, BAH,  how dare her, lol,  she is so cuuuuuute!!! 

[Chicken Little]

That means she likes it there.     Pictures please.   

[goofynina]

Allright, that does it!!  Does anyone want a cat?? lol, (just kidding)  i have shorts on and damn it if that cat didnt come and show me affection by rubbing up on my leg and trying to jump up on my laps,  i reached down to pet her and she was just eatin' it up, literally, bit me, oh Lord, grant me the patience with this child lol,  she has already pottied in her box    but she  hasnt eaten or drank any water yet,  maybe that is why she bit me huh?  My hands must smell like taco's.

I haven't been here much lately -- living in chaos at the moment! However, I had to check in to see if Goofynina had her new cat yet. Congratulations!  I think Marley is a fine name for a girl cat. I have a female cat named Clyde, and yes, I knew she was female when I "stole" her because she was obviously very pregnant.

[goofynina]

Thank you Deanne, she is a joy, this is my first day with her and, well, to put it nicely, she is driving me crazy   cuz i am so in love with her, it is so weird cuz so many things i worry about on a daily basis, i havent even thought of them once, lol,  i have been with her all day since i got her home and i just barely fed my hubby dinner (at 9pm), lol,  and here i am right back in the room with her,  i put her on my desk but she seemed a little scared so she is sleeping by my feet, sure, after she sliced my leg open, lol, nah,  but thank you for checking in and i will be posting all my lovely and not so lovely experiences with my feline friend so come back to check up on us k,  nice to see ya and i hope your life settles down soon.

Mina,

Don't worry about the not eating/drinking thing. That's normal. Consider for kitty she's just had a big move from
somewhere she was a little used to to a big new home (for her!) with all the unfamiliar smells, noises, places etc.
Sounds like she's making herself at home right away and will be in charge in no time If she doesn't eat in 2-3
days then worry, but she's found her litter tray which is a great thing so you shouldn't have any problems there now
she knows where to go, and she will be ok with the food once she calms down and starts to feel comfy in her
new home.. Don't try to force her to eat or drink.. she'll do it when she needs it.

There's good signs that she's feeling comfy if she sleeps right by your foot and stuff... that shoes a level of trust
and a bond is already developing between you two. Seems like she knows who mom is already

how adorable... I love thinking about those special times and how many more you will both have together

purrrr!

 Hoo-Ray, Hoo-Ray, what a wonderful day.
Goodynina finally got her way.
Sammie said a kittie could come to stay~
And after scratching Goody's leg, at her feet kitty will lay!

Congrats and best of luck to Sam, Goody, and  Fur Baby!

I know you will all be one big happy family! ( and doggies make 5!)     

[Joe Paul]

Congratulations goofynina!

[MyssAnne]

RichardMel is right, GoofyNina, Marley is settling in, and will eat when she is ready! Aren't cats cool???
I love them!!!!  I am so happy for you!!!

[Hawkeye]

She is a baby adjusting to a new environment.  Sounds like she is already playing with you (scratching and bitting) so that is good.  It's also good that she has used the litter box.  Also if she is already laying with you and sleeping on or near you that is great.  She is bonding to you already.  If she hasn't eaten yet that's not bad, she will eat when she is good and ready.  I also see by the pictures that you got her some toys.  Good idea or you will always be the toy.  Just one word of warning though, if she sleeps in the bed with you guys cats love to attack any movement from under the sheets so watch what you play with if the cat is right there.  You or Sam might get a painful surprise.

[goofynina]

Thank you all for the kind words, and thank you Anja, that was a cool poem you wrote, made me feel proud that someone actually took the time to think of a poem for me and my "baby"  thank you.

Well, we got through night #1,  I am not able to sleep with her for fear she will bite through my tubing (thanks for the info Lisa/Carson)  while i am asleep, so for now, i put her in my office (big room) where her litter box, food and water, toys, cat scratcher (with catnip) is.  Even busted out a homemade raider blanket that is now all hers, but apparently, she prefers to sleep on my computer chair (which is just fine with me)  I peeked in on her several times last night, she hasnt cried once.  As we speak, she was wondering around the room, slapping at a few toys and ended up at my feet again, isnt that AWESOME    I just love her and i cant believe she is mine,  still havent finalized her name yet, it will probably either be Marley or Mina (what RichardMel calls me)    but then again, i do like Minky or Minx ohhhhh decisions decisions...

Someone from the Humane Society stopped by the clinic during my dialysis session today.  She brought three kittens for everyone to play with.  Awwwwwwww! I sooooooooo wanted to take one home with me - itty bitty all black baby, except for a white tip on her tail.  *sigh* - I've got one, and I adore her, but geez, it's hard to resist them when they hand 'em over while you are stuck in that chair!

[goofynina]

My mom just called me and she said that my kitty is in the local paper,  i guess they placed her up for adoption as a "Pet of the Week" before i went and got her, i am going to get the paper and scan the photo and share it all with you,  i'm so proud, my baby is a STAR   That is probably where the attitude comes from huh? aye yi yi, that little precious thing.  It's funny cuz now, she will actually sit there and let me take pics of her, lol,  just me and my baby. yep yep..

So far things have been working out ok,  but then again it has only been 3 days   but i still am putting her in the office at night and shutting the door, i dont want her getting into my room and chewing on my tubes, its bad enough she chews on my shoe strings, cords under the desk (which i think i've cured her of that with my spray bottle)   and anything else she finds to play with.  When i get up in the morning i come in here, to get on the pc, leave the door open and there she stays by my feet, she has not left this room since day one,  i am not going to push her and i hope she does go explore other parts of the house, but i guess for now, she is doing great.  Jbeany,  come on, you can get another one   Oh, i would love to have two cats,  i feel sooo much better already,  i can sit here and watch her play and talk baby talk to her all day long, can you just imagine if i had two?? oh man,   

[jbeany]

I'd love two.  I don't think the present "Queen of the House" would approve, though!

Ohh, ok, gotcha, i found myself asking if i can sit on my computer chair while she is stretched out on it, whether she moves or not, is totally up to her, if she doesnt move, then i just sit in the other chair until she does, yes, i can understand totally,  for she (my kitty) is my Queen of the house already, and i think she knows it

  You are not going to beleive this one. I have slept on my floor at night because my dog was stretched out on my bed. LOL

[goofynina]

Sluff, with all i know about you and how caring you are, i believe it amigo.  That is one lucky dog to have you in his life 

[kitkatz]

Geez, I make my cat get off of my chair so I can sit in it!

[Hawkeye]

I will pick up whichever cats is curled up in my computer chair at the time and put them on my lap.  I do it in a way that I not changing their position just moving them.  They usually just look up at me and go back to sleep.

[RichardMEL]

Sorry NINA I don't know how I got that wrong name in my head

Marley is just getting used to her territory and why should she want to leave the office room when YOU are there... she has obviously bonded with you and you feed her and spend time with her etc so there is your bond... I am sure she will explore when you are out of the house if you leave the door open for her to go wandering.. when she can do it on her terms she will and become more confident.

Has she eaten yet? I assumr she has but wanted to check

she sounds adorable and totally loving.. and also the queen of the castle. Just wait till she also has Sam under her little paw and he does things for her and lets her sit where she likes etc hehehe

oh and my cat is fine in the bedroom.. she doesn't attack things under the covers she just sits there and snuggles. When I have had someone in bed with me the funniest thing she would do was wait till we were asleep cuddled up.. then we'd wake up in the morning with me on one side, her on the other side and smack in the middle looking innocent and soaking up the heat from both is Celeste - still no idea how she did that all the time! After awhile it became a bit of a joke between I and my gf.. and I think she secretly looked forward to it even though she grumbled lol

(I can understand the concern about the tubes though.. I would be too.. maybe when she is older and settled down, but no way as a kitten).

[kitkatz]

We have a cat that is the middle of the ved cat. She curls up in beteween us. We call her In between Nanny our little Chaperona

Hi RichardMel,  no apologies needed about the name, i thought it was kinda cute   As for my kitty, her name is now Xena, The Warrior Princess   It fits her perfectly i must say (thank you Brenda)  She is slowly coming out of the room, yesterday i was in bed most of the day cuz i was feeling sick, and she wouldnt leave my side,  when i did come to the office, she came and got on her hind legs so i can pick her up and we just cuddled (i cried of course)  the beauty of it all just touches me like nothing else i can imagine.  Sam has already started saying i love that cat more than him, i told him it was a tie   he is cool with the cat, thank goodness, As for her eating?  I cant keep her bowl full, seems like everytime i turn around it's almost empty, and believe me, it is coming out just as fast as its going in,  thank goodness for scoopable litter     Right now Xena is curled up on my bed,  hubby brought her to me this morning and she is nice and comfy on my pillows.  How can i ever show each and everyone of you my gratitude for helping me get my kitty. I am so thankful, you just dont know it,

Is that for better clumps or odor control Kit?  I could use both
