Black Cat Poll

Since we're hunting for a new black kitty boy and there seem to be an abundance of black kitties in all the shelters, Eric asked me to post a poll.

[Poll #750732]

Introducing: Jeffrey!

We were so sure the Rescue people were going to turn us down based upon our house that we checked out the city animal shelter. There we first fell in love with Noche and were completely knocked out by Jeffrey. We considered taking both of them but they didn't get along very well. We only have one room for isolation when we can't be here to mediate interactions. So, we'll wait for Jeffrey to settle in and see if Noche is still available. They don't kill pet quality cats after all! YAY!

Jeffrey is about 2 years old and still quite kittenish. He's definitely part siamese and has all the wonderful characteristics we loved in Lee-Roy. The girls are waiting to make their decision on whether to like him or not. He just wants to play. They'll come around. He has a siamese voice and somebody declawed him before abandoning him at a wildlife refuge. The shelter people didn't notice he'd been declawed.

Wouldn't you know the rescue people called a few minutes ago. We had impressed the lady at the store so much yesterday that they weren't going to inspect our house. But you know, Bob was a bit touchy about other kitties, hissing at the empty carriers, and he almost nipped Eric when Eric tried to pick him up.

Jeffrey is a much better match for us.
