I'm so happy to hear that you've brought in another little guy and I truly hope he is healthy. I know it must be so hard to try again so soon after little Freaky. I look forward to hearing more about him and finding out his new name! Congratulations -------------------- Read Alley's Story May 1, 1997 to December 9, 2006 - Always in My Heart

Group: Pet Lovers Posts: 842 Joined: 27-October 06 Member No.: 2,225	Oh what a great picture! Look at that face! He is sooo handsome. I'd love to know what you decide to name him. Oh I just what to hug him. I'm so happy for you all. For a name it took us a while for Majik, we kept calling him different things till one stuck. A white striped tail? Maybe something Like Ringer. LOL Just fooling around. A quick edit: I meant to say too, poor baby with the URI, so many of them from shelters come home with that. Our new baby, Majik did, and very sore eyes. It's not a big deal, but you feel sorry for the poor little buggers. Love This post has been edited by Moose Mom: Feb 12 2007, 11:10 AM -------------------- Lori For some of my Bridge kids.

Let us know when you decide on a new name. (maybe Tiptop? Now you see why some of ours were named Daddy Cat, Miss Kitty, Tommy, etc... Maybe I'd better start letting the wife name them!)

Or how about Flicker because of the flicker of light on his tail? What a gorgeous bundle of fluff anyway!!

Forum Administrator Group: Admin Posts: 1,073 Joined: 3-March 03 From: Midwest USA Member No.: 1	he definitely is one of the crazy kittys, i had forgotten (again) how rambunctious these critters can be. fun to watch him hop straight up in the air. so far he enjoys sleeping on my wrist (the computer mouse wrist) while i work...not the greatest place, seems cats always find a fav spot where you least want them to tribble would have enjoyed this cat, as would have freaky. -------------------- While all people here help each other, there are times where an advanced degree of help may be needed.

That's something I miss and haven't been able to be around in many many years, that little kitten energy and craziness! Even when Alley was a baby she was very quiet and refined most of the time. It was her older brother Wiley who was the hellcat. Your kitty (we must have a name soon! lol) sounds so adorable. Sleeping on your wrist probably isn't the best place, but who can bother him when he's sleeping so cute!! -------------------- Read Alley's Story May 1, 1997 to December 9, 2006 - Always in My Heart
