So Kitty #3 came home with us Friday night after a visit to the vet to make sure she was in good health. No parasites in her stool, no feline AIDs, and she is definately a SHE, but she doesn’t have a scar from being “fixed” that they can feel. They said she could have had the surgery and it was just healed well though. The other two cats are both fixed, so I don’t have to worry about pregnant cats around here, but I will probably have her fixed too eventually.

The other two cats are behaving pretty well with her around. Mona keeps hissing or doing the grumble growl when she comes into the room, but that’s it. No chasing attack fights. Murphy has been his usual laid back self. Kitty hisses or grumble growls when either of them are too close to her, but no fights! Yeah! That was my biggest fear.

The vet said they didn’t think she had been living outside for too long, and she isn’t underweight (although she is only 8.6 pounds) She peed on the carpet in Jason’s bedroom though. UGH. I hope that is not an issue with the litter box. It smelled sort of “off” though, so I HOPE she was just marking a spot, you know – claiming some turf. The cats aren’t normally allowed in his room, so it probably smelled pretty “kitty free” to her so she felt safe in claiming her zone. He didn’t notice that she had followed him in there until she was leaving her spot!

I have taken a few photos of her, I will post them as soon as I find where I put my card reader for the camera! Hopefully I didn’t leave it at the office. Other than playing kitty mommy, I didn’t do much at all this weekend. Cleaned the kitchen, rearranged cabinets, played with Jason. He has another project for school, so we worked on that yesterday too. And I watched a lot of HGTV to get into the holiday spirit! Learning how to make ornaments and stuff like that.

Kitty doesn’t have an official name yet. Chelsey thought we should name her Muffin Chop. I said it should be “Isabella Muffin Chop” because she is soooo pretty, and “Bella” fits her pretty well! When I post her pictures later you guys can tell me what you think she should be named!

I keep meaning to mention that Brandy has been using some absolutely adorable graphics on her site. I love going to read the zen log because I never know what I will find – and today (well, she wrote it yesterday…) it was a lovely post that she wrote about the things she is thankful for – including me! Awww… I am always touched when I see things like that. Thanks Brandy!

It’s official. I am the crazy lady with three cats now. Well, almost. Kitty is over at the vet right by my office building. I went at lunch time to pick her up and we went straight to the Vet’s office. I told Chelsey that moist cat food always gave my cats problems, but that’s what she fed her (assuming it’s a her) anyways, so now she is “Stinky-butt kitty”. They are doing a fecal test and a Feline AIDs test on her before I take her home to meet the other cats. They are also going to clean off her stinky butt. She is sooooooo pretty. Tortoise-shell orange, brown & black in color with these big gorgeous eyes. She likes to perch, I found her sitting on top of the wooden fence on the ledge. When I got her in the car she kept trying to climb up onto the dash. (yeah, brilliant woman didn’t bring a crate) I got her to sit on my lap the whole way over to the doctor’s office though. She was so calm & cool about me toting her around, and very mellow while sitting at the office waiting our turn. Mona would have been *freaking* out. I don’t think even Murphy would have been that laid back.

Three cats. What have I done? But she is such a pretty kitty, I couldn’t leave her behind, stuck outdoors with no one to love her. People really suck sometimes when it comes to pets.

Kristine (That’s Kristine with a K) let me in to theredkitchen.net! Yeah! So I will have to share more recipes now. What fun! Thanks Kristine!
