New Tuxedo Baby!

A friend needed to re-home her cat. She's been looking for a place for a couple of weeks with no luck. I was considering getting a 3rd, although I was intending on getting a Devon Rex kitten...but really felt that I should instead offer to re-home her girl, Eliza. I brought her to my place yesterday, & she spent the day (& night, too, most likely) under the bed, hissing, growling & spitting at anyone/anycat who looked her way But she'll get used to used to us soon, I hope. Therefore, I don't have a pic of her that I took, but here's one from her former home - BTW, I've changed her name to Diamond, because she's small and precious!

Oh! What a beauty! Congratulations on the new addition!

Oh, how beautiful! You are blessed and so is she! Good luck and may the blessings keep coming....

Wow! Diamond is a beauty!

I'm sure she'll adjust happily to her new home

The only thing better than two cats would be...three cats. Diamond is surely a sweetheart, and so are you for giving her a loving home. God bless ya!

She came out last night & slept with me! Still growling/hissing/spitting at the other 2 cats, but hey - progress!

What a pretty girl !

Oh wow, Eliza is such a gorgeous girl!

True - but she's now Diamond!

She is beautiful! Makes me think of my old cat Josie, my avatar.

She now spends the majority of her time out from under the bed, but remains in the bedroom. This is also where her food & water are, as well as a couple of boxes (which were already there). She's still hissing/spitting/growling at the resident cats. PNG basically just ignores her when she does this. I/O is still very leery & won't challenge Diamond if Diamond hisses or growls at her - I/O will just stay our of the room. So, progress!

She is beautiful. My first ever cat was a tuxedo who was small and precious just like Diamond. She came into my life when I was three years old and then had a very adventurous last year of life traveling around the country with my husband, self, and a young kitten.

Diamond's adjustment to her new home kind of reminds me of Shimi's. It's a big change, but Diamond sounds like a strong personality who is going to be just fine in her own time. I hope PNG and I/O will eventually have a friend and protector.

I was going to get a meezer or maybe a Sphynx but Willow needed a home and she is perfect. Thank you for giving Diamond a home and putting your own dreams of a Devon Rex on hold.

We have graduated to roaming the whole house now! However, she's still very growly towards I/O. I/O is very non-confrontative, so she just walks away usually, unless Diamond surprises her. When that happens, I/O ends up with what I call 'fluffy tail'.
