Ut-oh my Toes!!!! Izzit too soon?

Oooookay, kitties... tells me'n'da Sprout! if Meomie's gone absalootley
nutters, er whut. We fink so soon after loosin' Ms. Lucy and Mr.Lenny,
she mite haf a loose brain in hur hed....

She went to the owt tuday and tuk da metalmonster fur exercise. Tuk a
buncha junk owt tu charity... an came home wif more (dat's bad enuff)...
but wen she came home... she *smelled* like sumpin.

She smelled... like *KITTIES*, and it wuzent US kitties... she smelled
like *MEEZER KITTIES*, but not Mr. Lenny and Ms. Lucy, diffrent. She
wuz seein MEEZERS on da sly!

My toesness, whut can dis be aboot?

Panda ov snif-snif-snif-whoodat?-Toes.....

MEOWMIE *ahem*... Meowmie notes: I am not generally impulsive,
sentimental or rash... except with cats...

Two days before Lucy died, my vet took custody of a 7-year old pair of
Meezers whose person had just died days before. The family and friends
couldn't keep them, and the old lady was a client of my TED's and TED
Bonnie had adopted one of her cats years back, so they brought them to
her. I couldn't think about it while Lucy was dying, but since she's
been gone, I can't stop thinking about them, so I went to meet them today.

I wonder that it's too soon... and I know I cannot replace Lenny and
Lucy... but these two are *gorgeous* in their own right, even though
right now they are anxious and stressed. It didn't slow the purring
down one little bit.

TED is as excellent with people as with cats, and wouldn't let me run
off with them right there, but she's going to do a whole health workup
on them and let me come back and see them. There are some signs of
stress (understandably) and a couple of apparent cigarette burns
(sadly... accidents, we're sure, but sad), and the two of them are
four-wheel declawed, also sadly but their last person apparently had a
bleeding disorder, and it's a long-done thing. I'd never declaw, but
wouldn't turn them away because they were.

Their names are "Meowie" and "Bluey", a seal-point male and blue-point
female respectively.

So, I have my doubts, my anxieties, medical exams and an unfortunately
reluctant second opinion with whom I cohabitate to deal with still...
but I can't stop thinking how *quiet* it is with only two cats
chattering at me. I cried last night, not just because Lucy was gone
but because Panda and Sprout were both in bed with Adam, and I realized
that in 11 years, I had not been at home without at least one cat in the
same room. Having more cats increases the odds that ONE of them will
want to pay attention to me once in a while.

So it seems I am doing some thinking of what is next in my life....

Looks to me like your hooman is getting you some more family, Miss Violette,
who disapproves of more cats but she thinks she should be an onlycat

UB ~ NEVER MIND ONYX. He thinks he's crabby 'cuz of Java, my brother's
cat, takin' over his house. I think as long as you know and understand
right from the get-go that these kitties aren't Lucy and Lenny, and never
will be carbon copies of them - and may never end up sleeping in your
room no matter what you may *want* them to do (and it sounds to me like
you DO understand that, FTR) - that you should consider taking them.
You've had 4 cats. You can afford them. They need homes. You have a
home that is in need of some extra kitty love. What's the problem (oh
yeah, the other cats... well, as much as Onyx likes to *think* he hates
Java, my mom tells me that they sleep in pretty close proximity to each
other without any problems or fights or anything... but don't tell Onyx I
told you that!)?

Oh, dat's eggciting! I fink it's good when houses bring in more

wen to da Bridge, mineown hoomins bringed home Fluffybutt - err,
Tabitha Kitten - about a monf later to honor Miss DD's memory.
Den a monf later mineown purrpaw saw me libing under a hedge and
catched me and taked me home. So if'n dey didn't decide to get a
new kitty or two to honor Miss DD's memory den neever me nor
Fluffybutt would be libing here now. And that would be sadsad.

They wanted me to take her a couple of months earlier, but I didn't want
to introduce a new cat in the household when Binkley was so sick. It
seems they decided she was going to be mine since they kept her until I
was able to take her. She was so socialized to other humans and animals
from spending so much time at TEDs. She was originally a feral cat.
