A three year update. A good story.
Your boys are absolutely gorgeous! How lucky they are to have "found" you!
They photograph so well. I love the photo of them on the laundry. I have two brothers (littermates) who will be 6 yrs. old next month. I adopted them about a year ago from one of those pet clinics (their owner was an older woman who had health problems). Anyway, I agree with you about personalities. Tigger is much more laid back and more of a mush. Simba is mushy on his terms and sometimes he's a little jumpy. They run around after eachother and make funny noises too! Thanks for sharing the story and their pictures! "Khufu" wrote in message news:iO%Sa.24887$zy.15034@fed1read06... Greetings all. Three years ago I posted a message to one of the rec.pets.cats* groups asking for advice on a feral kitten I rescued from certain death or torture. Here is the original post: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...=off&selm=3K2y 5.7468%24HS1.317570%40typhoon.tampabay.rr.com First of all, thank you to everyone who offered advice. I am very happy to say it is their estimated birthday (3years) and they are both doing wonderful. They are both boys, despite my use of "she" in the original post (hey, they were kittens.. I couldn't see anything. ). The first kitten I rescued (Luna) is still my best pal.. I see him looking out the window and jumping down every night when I come home to greet me at the door. When I come home he "kisses" me (sniffs my mouth area, is there a known reason he does this?) He is never not by my side when I sleep at night. He is my first pet that is my own - not my parents - and he is so special to me. The problem kitten (Artemis) I mentioned in my original post is also very special. Like one reply said, cats have their own personalities... It took him several months before he would come out from under the bed when I was around... And it is just recently that he too will nuzzle my face. Still he is a very nervous cat, but he and his brother play all day and run around like maniacs chasing each other, making some seriously funny sounds in the process. Here are some pictures... They are mostly of Luna (the first one I rescued). Artemis is still very camera shy. http://users.lvcm.com/khufu/ They now have their own dog free home (my roommate got a second great dane, and even though they were gentile, there was never a day I went to work and didn't worry that an innocent chase or bite would turn fatal.) I had to take the financial hit and get my own place. Anyway, I just wanted to let any of you that were around when I asked for advice know that things turned out wonderful. And perhaps this will give a little hope to anyone out there having difficulties with a new kitten. Three years, and god willing many more to come, Matt |
