Lynne,
Snowball is beautiful! And I could see the smile on your face as you wrote
about all her funny quirks and playfulness that you're learning about. What a
wonderful time this is for you and her. And such a reward for all that you
went through with Boo Boo, from the loving and tenacious care to the pain in
letting him go. I think Boo Boo is enjoying himself immensely, watching the
both of you from the Rainbow Bridge. He's probably whispering into Snowball's
ears funny little things to do to make you laugh.
:)

Oh thank you Wendy for your kind words. What a difference a day can make
though. This little dickens kept us up all night. She would take turns on
each side of the bed, blatting. We'd say, come up Snowy, she would, purr like
a freight train, cuddle up and sleep for 20 minutes, jump down and start the
whole routine again. This morning she was racing around the house like a
lunatic, playing hide and seek. She was kind of naughty yesterday, stalking
Lennie, ate his food, layed in his litter box. Did nothing in his litter box,
just lay in it. So we changed Lennies food. This morning she ate her own
stuff and is using her own litterbox and I think she understands that Lennie
wants nothing to do with her. She'll still walk by him and hiss just to bug
him. He doesn't care. She reminds me a bit of BooBoo, very gentle and loving
but she has a more playful streak in her. Of course poor Boo was in no
condition to be playful. She certainly has helped
ease the pain of losing him, probably because she is pretty high maintenance.
We need to comb her at least once a day and clean her eyes twice a day because
they do tear a lot. I swear she would be show material if those eyes weren't
so much work. I'm not going to do anything extreme with them, just bathe them
with warm water a couple times a day so they don't get crusty. Yep we love her
and you know, if dear Boo hadn't been with us I probably would never have been
made so aware of all the devastating illnesses and terrible conditions so many
of these cats live with. A real eye opener.

Lynne,
Bless you for taking in this kitty. It brought tears to my eyes to read your
post, because I know how very lucky she is to have the new family she's just
inherited. She probably doesn't know it yet, but it won't take her long. What
a wonderful thing that Boo Boo is part of the reason that this beautiful cat
now has a forever home. Please keep us posted on how she does.
:)

We met the foster mom of the cat we adopted at the vets this morning and now
have our new little girl home. She was a rescued cat from this horrible shop
owner in town. I was expecting to meet a kind of pathetic looking little kitty
but to our surprise, she's a 9 pound gorgeous white persian with amber colored
eyes. She's absolutely beautiful but for the moment prefers to be upstairs on
her own. We're not forcing ourselves on her but the foster mom s ays she is
very affectionate and loves attention. She inspected every inch of the house
and will come down when she wants to. We are just so happy to finally have her
here. She has never had a real home, just a pet store and the foster mom.
