I'm on Panther #2. I had Jack from a 5 week old kitten in 1990 until she passed in 2008. I now have Friday, she's about 10/11 y/o.
Miss Blue settling in...
- Thread starter spr1975wshs
- Start date
Jack had a heckuva good run.
Cooper was born 27 May, and Buff on 9 June, in 2014 according to the private rescue we got them from on 19 October that year.
They were both born into a horrible, ongoing hoarding situation a friend of mine and her colleagues have been working on since the 1st rescue on 29 June 2014. They taken over 200 cats and kittens off the property. The Harrisburg city government and Humane Society will do nothing.
Miss Blue was born 26 August 2006.
:wow:
Friday was preggers when she came to me via mAlice. Vet said she would have 2-3 kittens. She had 5 on March 12 2009. Kept her and one of her babies. Her son is 23 lbs.
Holy Moly!!!
He's my Forrest Gump.
Test results back from Miss Blue's blood draw on Friday, 100% in the pink!
All blood count and enzyme number smack dab in the healthy range, none even close to high or low normal.
Looks like our 12 year 5 months and 9 day old kitty cat has a baseline for a good long stay with us.
She's taken over the whole house now, getting the boys in line with hisses and few bops on the noggin.
Both outweigh her by at least 7 1/2 pounds.
I think having been under Miss Teia's rule for 4 years has shaped their knowledge of kitty hierarchy, Old Girl Cats Rule.

God bless the USA
You might love creatures more than I do. That includes spiders and flies.

Throwing the deuces
We have one of those too. Love bug but nothing much going on upstairs.He's my Forrest Gump.
He fell off the bed after he was born and missed the rug.
Miss Blue is definitely a dominant little critter.
She is actively chasing the boys, but does stop when they fall into a submissive pose, or prove too fast for her to catch and bop.

Today makes 4 weeks. In her last home, because of her previous owners' allergies, Blue was not allowed in the bedroom or on the furniture.
She is sleeping on the couch as I type. She also came running to greet me when I got home from Lowe's 30 minutes ago.

Princess Bonnie Blue of House MacRae weighs 9 1/2 pounds.
Sir Thomas Cooper of Manada outweighs her by 8 and Lord Buffingham Tyger of Manada by 6 (he is also 1 1/2" taller at the shoulder than Cooper).
She is a holy terror for those boys, and dominates them like any senior Queen Kitty would.
Though, I think part of it, Blue is trying to catch them to wrestle. She's not very good at executing a take down.
The boys do not know quite what to make of another cat that wants to rough house.

5 weeks now, Miss Blue has shown she IS Princess Bonnie Blue of House MacRae.
Blue is again next to me on the couch, purring up a storm.
She continues to chase Cooper and Buff, but a little more like she wants to play, rather than dominate.
Blue has just not got the hang of play yet with the boys.
She did tug on the heart strings a little last night, found a cat toy I had not seen since our Chessie-bear of fond memory died in January 2014.
It's a little plush hedgehog, which was put away in a basket of cat toys. It was Chessie's favorite. It's good to see Blue rediscovering her inner kitten.

I've been following your story since Miss Teia. Sorry to hear of her passing, she was well loved.
I got involved with feral cats in 2015 when a feral showed up pregnant. We named her Frankie and found homes for her 6 kittens, 2 of which my sister and I took. That made us each have 3 cats! Mine unfortunately passed away of a rare disease at only 8 months old, which devastated us. Fast forward to spring of 2016 and another feral, Gypsy has 5 kittens. We tried to trap her so many times, but this was going to be her last batch of kittens. Nowhere near healed from out kittens passing, we did decide to take one of Gyspy's kittens and named her Saylor. We TNR all of our ferals at work and we made shelters for them.
Fast forward to Fall 2018, Gypsy had a bad abscess that required a $2,000 emergency vet bill. There was no way we could put her back on the streets so we made the decision to keep her at home ( a decision that had been coming for a while, we were just worried about how our other cats would handle it). We also scooped up Frankie, who now lives with my sister and her daughter Ellie.
Gypsy lives in 2 large rooms in my basement because she is aggressive, especially to her daughter. She loves people so much and head butts and loves on us! We are working with her and the other cats, hence the leash! Pictured below is Gypsy, Piper (larger Tuxedo), Finley (gray), and Saylor (her daughter, small Tuxedo).
Since 2015 we have rescued/TNR more than 30 cats. It is heartbreaking and rewarding at the same time! You have done Blue good and I foresee a lifetime of love and happiness!

Rescue IS the best Breed.
We help several small rescues in places we have lived with donations as resources allow.

Here is the kitty we were told was deathly afraid of going outside.
Miss Blue has thoroughly explored the back yard, during 3 forays on the 22nd.
Right now, she is at the back door crying to be let out
My favorite picture from Friday, Triumphant Adventuress atop the wood pile.

She's probably trying to figure out if she can get over that fence.
I had that same thought, part of the reason none of our cats go out, without a chaperon.
Edit 6:05 PM: have a cover over the wood crib now.

Miss Blue has definitely decided she's home, starting to sleep on her back. She was even exchanging kitty nose bump "kisses" with Mr Buff last night.
