Aspiring Cowgirl
Last November, Harvey and I adopted "Paisley", who is a 1yo medium hair dilute calico from a local animal shelter through their adoption center at Petsmart. Paisley is working out very well and is just the sweetest kitty. She and Keeper, our 10yo Maine Coon, get along well in that they will lay together and sleep, however, Paisley REALLY wants to play and Keeper does not want to play. He's about 20#'s, to Paisley's 7#'s. But, at night if Keeper is not sleeping in the bedroom with us, a lot of times Paisley tackles him and just harrasses him wanting him to be her playmate. He's always been a big cry baby and he cries. It might really hurt, too. He is stiff sometimes and not as spry as he used to be.
SO, now Paisley's got her own cat. She and her cat hate each other at the moment but we sure hope that changes!!! We adopted a black Maine Coon (ish?) female from the same shelter in the same way (Petsmart). She is about 1.5yo and she had been at the shelter since OCTOBER! That is pitiful. She is so striking with her jet black coat and the brightest, biggest, roundest eyes. She is hefty at around 15#'s and built like a bowling ball. She has huge feet and big tufts of fur like purebred Maine Coons and her voice sounds just like Keeper's. We are calling her "Sookie" (rhymes with cookie). Hoping she'll be a lot like him (Maine Coons are about like dogs in cat suits), and like to play with Paisley. It felt good to give her a home since she really needed one.
You know, a year ago, I'd have told you I didn't really care a lot for cats anymore. I sure do now.
Thanks for looking at Sookie. She's so much prettier than the pictures indicate, but this was the best I could do for now:
