Hi all - My name is Bobbi. I'm a work at home jewelry artist, and 2 time foster fail ;) I am cat-servant to Socks and Boots - 3 yr old sister and brother that were my first fosters for a local rescue; and most recently, Fig and one of her kittens, Kadota (Kodi for short). I had stopped fostering, mostly for medical/work reasons, and partly because it broke my heart to give them back to the shelter. So I decided to take a break from fostering.
The universe however decided otherwise, and sent Fig my way. I named her Fig because she's no bigger than one. She showed up in my backyard scared and starving a week after my neighbors moved out (they also left a cat tree on the carport for the landlords to throw out). It took months to earn her trust and get her confined to my screened porch - sadly she was already pregnant by then.
The short version - she gave birth, had 5 beautiful babies (though one sadly passed away at 18 days). 3 of the 4 are polydactyl just like Fig. I 'helped' her raise them, and when they were old enough, 3 went to my local rescue, (the same one Socks and Boots came from), and have since found their furever homes. I kept Kodi, mainly because of Fig (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it) - out of all the kittens, he almost always slept with her regardless of her being the milk-bar. I reasoned that if she didn't bond with Socks and Boots, she'd still have a snuggle buddy with Kodi. Fig and Kodi are the first polydactyls I've ever had - They're a joy to watch them play with those big feet. The only draw back is how far they can fling cat litter :D
I've searched the internet for weeks looking for a forum like this - I'm really glad to have found this one!

Such cute kitties! Socks and Kodi look so inquisitive, Boots looks so sweet and affectionate (and those green eyes are gorgeous!), and Fig has such a striking pattern. That picture of him looks so professional! I hope to see some more pictures of them around!

Welcome to The Cat Site. :wave2: This is a great community, and unlike some message boards, is very active.

Congrats on being a failed foster. You ended up with a beautiful feline family. :catrub:

Had to giggle about Boots, "Sweet?" mmmmm, not a word I'd use to describe him. "Affectionate?" yes very..... at 3am, other than that he's a giant turd - lovey one minute and then bite me the next when I try and use the mouse he's laying on. :D
Thank you for the photo compliments!! It helps to have a stunning subject :)

HopScotchFreda HopScotchFreda - Welcome to TCS to you and your gorgeous Family. Since you're new here, a word of advice: be careful - I've heard that are some Cat Thieves around these parts, and these four beauties look ripe for the picking. Maybe you should just send them to be for safekeeping, and I'll send them back when pigs fly the coast is clear.
