Hi Y'all, It's been quite awhile since I've popped on here, but you guys are the ones I think of first when something goes wrong.  I guess I'm that friend who only calls when they want to cry about something, and I'm sorry for that.  I should have just titled this post "My Worst Nightmare Has...

So the slight tensions of integrating two new guys into the existing three-cat household have escalated into a big mess.  :(  TCS, I hate that I only seem to pop around when I need you, but... well, I need you!!! My initial post for advice when I adopted Remy and Finn is here.  Despite all my...

THIS. This is my favorite Holland pose EVER. Good to see she's settling into her new place, and that she still has impeccable taste in accessories! Love that baby girl!

Hi there!! You know me, I took one look at them together and the tears started welling. "Ohno we can't separate them!! Lookit them, they LOVE each other!" SUCH a pushover - but I lucked out with these guys, they're both incredibly sweet. Now to convince the other three of that fact...

Thank you - sounds like I'm on the right track then! I think all of my stress with this intro comes from the fact that they're definitely more dominant than any of my other three, and also very energetic - they want to pounce and chase and play, and it freaks the other three out. Things seem...

So, a few weeks ago (August 30), I adopted two new guys to round out the kitty crew here at the house. I've done the intros fairly "by-the-book" (scent exchange, meeting through a screen door, Feliway) and we're up to the short interaction periods now. Essentially, things are going fairly...

I just did a google image search, and lilac seems to be about right - there is a brownish tint to his darker fur (although it's only noticeable to my eye on his back and especially the markings/spots on his belly - he obligingly posed for a belly photo, and was paid handsomely in belly rubs). I...

Hey y'all So much happening, new job (since May - such a relief to be back to work!)... and now new fur-family members. I've been lurking around for the past few days going through threads for info, and thought I'd introduce my new dynamic duo, since I also have a question about coloring...

Oh Stephanie, it broke my heart to see this. I am so very sorry for your loss. Take comfort in the fact that you gave her a long, wonderful life, and she is now at peace and pain-free. Rest in peace, sweet Callie!

Wanted to take a second to drop by and say hello...hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season! This was Jack and Kiri's first Christmas with my crazy family, so of course my mother had to subject them to "Playing Santa Claws"... Sophie-Ann was having NONE of that dress-up nonsense. She...

My playlist at the moment is a weird mix of classic rock and a little of everything else (I usually have Rhapsody on "shuffle" in the background when I'm on the computer). Just got done hearing Blue Oyster Cult, "Don't Fear the Reaper", and now "Paradise Circus" by Massive Attack is on...

Oh Ruthy, this is breaking my heart. I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. I've been away from TCS for awhile, so I'm still catching up on Harvey's story, but I really DO believe that you are doing what's best for him, even though it's terribly painful. When we take on a...

I've never heard that quote, but the man knew what he was talking about! Honestly, I'd go out and adopt 3 more if it wasn't for the likely possibility that I'll be living in an apartment at some point. They're just so much FUN! All those years that I didn't have a cat, I had no idea what I...

Thanks everyone! It is so nice to have her here, she's a darling. I haven't been able to get many good pics because she won't stop moving for a second! She's going to be "that cat" that trips everyone constantly because she's forever twining around your ankles. To be fair, I did struggle...

Here is pretty Kiri (story here)... And a few newer Sophie/Jack pics for good measure! Jack's extremely odd sleeping position: Sophie-Ann, just sayin' hello: Interrupted in mid-cuddle:

Yes, a thousand times agreed! I can remember when Steph was trying SO hard to convince her DH to adopt Tumble...and then once they took him home, he was stretched out on the floor with the little guy in almost every set of pictures.

Coming from a fellow cat owner with a cat named Sophie-Ann...I greatly approve of this name choice!

Holland is just...the BEST sleeper. That first pic made my day!

I've been taking a break from the computer for awhile, and I've been meaning to drop by TCS for the past few days...well, now I have some news that I had to share with my fellow cat lovers, so I couldn't delay any longer. Sophie and Jack have a new sister. I've been wanting one more cat...

I adore the books, and I'm a big fan of the show as well, but there was just WAY too much happening this season. They tried to incorporate elements from, what, 3 different books? Plus all the "new" characters who never appeared in the books, and all their storylines. I was on the edge of my...
