stoney321So, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum vet. I chose to get Sally Von Schtupp's heartworm preventative from the SPCA instead of our vet, because it is tres cheap there. *cough* It is impossible for me to go to a shelter and not want to bring home all the babies. For the record, I did not adopt all the babies.
This lovely young man did come home with me. His previous owners had him, another cat, a dog, and kids, and moved. And left him at the shelter. :( BUT YAY FOR US. He's four, lovely, super affectionate, and came with the name "Bootsie." We are attempting to jazz that up as "Master Bootsie "McLovin" Collins of the Funkadelic." That is what his official papers read. HEEEE. (Which is only slightly longer than my sister's grey tabby, who is officially named Greg the Subsititue Philosphy Teacher.)
Here is Bootsie McAWESOME chilling out in our bathtub. It's very cool and hidey in there.
Ms. Hope (full name: Hope comma A New colon Episode Four) ventured in this morning to check out the "new cat smell." Actually, she came in because she smelled his food. He came up behind her and checked out her hinter smells, and she looked back at him and went back to sniffing his food, then did an IMMEDIATE DOUBLE TAKE and jumped back. Ahahaha. They are still nervously checking each other out, but no hissing or such.
(It should be noted that Hope is our resident Ambassador to our sovereign nation of Eh-Stoney-a. She greets all newcomers, passes out pamphlets for the touristy site-seeing trips, and offers coupons for reduced travel rates. She also handles all treaties and disputes through mreowing and biscuit making. It's a one-two punch of solution, that's what.)
"Why, hello. I see you noticing my feathery toes and tail and belleh. Yes, yes, I am used to the oohing and ahhing. I am beautiful, but I do not let it go to my head. You may caress."
I've decided that instead of an R&B voice (what I imagined his kitty voice to sound like) he has a Pepe LePew voice. "Ze sauerkraut does not run from ze corn beef! I am ze snake, and you have charmed me..."
Sally is DYING to go lick his head, but Bootsie is not to keen for that just yet. Oh, Sally. They can't all be your babies. (She's been bringing her duck-baby all over this morning as if to say, "Why, I have other species as children, there is no reason why I cannot have you, too! Just...one...leeek!"
New behaviors observed as of this typing: he is a SUCKER for head scritches. To the point of almost doing a forward somersault to get your hands where he wants them. Ahahaha. As soon as you get a good scritch going, he immediately flops onto his side and begins purring. And then come the biscuits. He has ENORMOUS paws, so i think he's making baguettes, not biscuits. <3 <3 <3

Date: 2008-07-02 04:01 pm (UTC)So, do you think if I stood in the window at the SPCA and looked all cute and shit, you'd adopt me? I can be quite fetching, I'll have you know, and word on the street is that I have a few tricks that will blow your mind.
WATCH as she sits in front of the computer!
MARVEL at the laundry that continues to pile up!
WONDER at how she manages to trip without even moving!
How am I still single? I DON'T KNOW, EITHER. Ahahaha.

Also, Hope is gorgeous and clearly intrigued, and Sally sounds like a wonderful little creature. Bootsie's gonna have a very cool life with you.

Date: 2008-07-02 04:09 pm (UTC)We hope Bootsie is happy with us - all the animals are quite intrigued by him and are waiting for him to come out and join the party. :D

And Bootsie was just checking out the tub - he's been all over. He is the proverbial curious cat. (It's a marble tub, so it's very cool and pleasant, is my guess.)
Have you tried Craig's List for help in adopting out your extra cats? If I hear of anyone in your neck of the woods, I'll send you a line and see what's still available. (That is, if you really do want to find them other homes. I know I've said that before, then ended up keeping them all. Hahaha.)

Dottie Mae sounds like Jennifer Tilly.We haven't figured out Ted's voice yet.
I'm glad we aren't the only cat people who do this.

Date: 2008-07-02 05:08 pm (UTC)My Kiera was also a rescue kitty, abandoned the same way -- left behind when the people moved. She's still a little freaky about her food (it makes me wonder if she was starved before she was found.) But she's warm and interactive and lovely and I just don't get people who wouldn't love her enough to take her with them. It's taken a few years, but she continues to grow more comfortable with me. I figure in a few more years she might start crawling into my lap on a regular basis, instead of once or twice a year, to get scritches. I'm so glad that your new addition is settling in so well!
