Dot . . .

We ended up taking Toonces (our super shy/timid kitty) back to the rescue group because she just wasn't doing well with our other cats (good news is her former foster mom is fostering her again and her other foster right now is a super mellow 15 year old so hopefully they'll get along okay).

Anyway, that brought us back down to 4 cats, but I plan on moving & getting my own place (hopefully) sometime early next year and when I do, I'm taking Romeo with me. I'm worried about him going from having my mom home all day and 3 other cats to play with to being home all by himself while I'm at work so I was wanting to get him a little friend, but dad said "no more cats".

Then this morning Mom & I were leaving Walmart and saw some people giving away kittens. I reminded her that dad said no, and she says "but look at the little spotted one!" So her being the bad influence that she is, we went & looked and fell in love with the little white calico kitten, and took her home hoping my dad wouldn't be furious.

I think he's a little upset that we made the decision w/o him, but he didn't tell us to take her back (we'd gotten the lady's phone number just in case). So now I have little Dot (who, btw, isn't named that because she has spots, she just looks like a Dot). They said she's 11 weeks old, but there's no way. I'm guessing more like 7. She has a minor eye infection, probably worms, and I found & killed 2 fleas (only ones I saw), but otherwise looks pretty good for being a barn kitten. She is being isolated, though, until we can get her to the vet for a good looking over on Friday.




Her spots (and I love the white tips on her ears).

She's really cute.

 

She is adorable! I'm sorry about the other kitty. But, it looks like things will work out since the cat has a foster home to go back to.

 

We've had to return a kitty to the humane society because our household was so upset with the kitties not being able to get along. I think you did the right thing.

Your new kitty is adorable. We used to have a Calico kitty and she has the sweetest personality. Hopefully she'll get along with your other kitties.
I guess you'll take her with you when you move?

 

Oh she is so cute. That was nice that you wanted to get Romeo a pal. I hope they will become good buds. :mrgreen: Hopefully the other cat will find a forever home soon. Great that he is able to go back to the old foster Mom again.

 

cute...you probalby saved a life.
Is she hissing at you in that 2nd picture? I always thought it was cute to see little kittens hissing

 

Dot is a cutie!

 

Yeah, Toonces was just miserable. She was basically afriad to come out of the corner. The other cat's aren't necessarily mean, they just wanted to play, but she thought they were attacking her. It wasn't fair to make her live like that.

Yes. She & Romeo are my cats and will be going with me. The other 3 are my parents' cats.

No, she was in the middle of yawning.

 

Just got back from the vet and she doesn't have ear mites or worms and her eye infection is actually looking better today, but he gave her some ointment anyway and she got her first set of shots. When we told him the people said she was 11 weeks and he just laughed. He said she's closer to 6 weeks.

And I've decided she has some siamese in her. She has a really long body and long legs and around the spots on her face, it's actually cream that fades out to white kind of like a siamese. And one of the other kittens they were giving away (from a different litter - but they have 11 outdoor cats on their land) had siamese markings so I'm thinking maybe the dad was a siamese. But she also has ear tufts and a relatively long tail for a kitten (usually, they're short, stubby little tails) so I'm thinking some maine coon mixed in as well.

And I just called her name and she came running from across the room so she knows it already.

Awwwwwwww she is sooo cute, I just love the markings on her, they are gorgeous. :mrgreen:

 

I'm sorry to hear about Tounces. Dot is absolutely gorgeous!

 

More pics!

Dot vs the kitty tree (click thumbnails for bigger pic)

"Let's see . . . how do I get up this thing?"


"C'mon claws, do your thing!"


"Phew! Gotta take a breather"


"Okay, gotta keep going."


"Boy! It's a long way down!"


"Almost there!"


"Yay! I made it . . . Hey! Who are you?"


"How'd you get up there so fast?"


"Show off!"

Very cute. That's amazing she can climb the ladder. You and Dot could get into show business. :mrgreen:

 

Awww, she is adorable! Makes me want a kitten again :wink:

Great pictures, made me laugh :mrgreen:

 

Awwwwwwwwwww she is so cute!!!! :mrgreen: I love all her markings on her.
She is one of the cutest kittens I have seen

 

Those Piccies are just gorgeous..Spectacular..I Love her colour..She is the most prettiest thing..

 

Dot says "thanks."

Couple new pics.

I've been making Romeo spend the night in my room with Dot so they're starting to get used to eachother. There's still the occasional hiss & swat, but they were actually playing together yesterday.




Playing with his tail.


And right after he bopped her on the head for playing with his tail

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :mrgreen:

 

Here's a few more pics of her playing with Romeo. He's being a really good big brother. When they play, it looks like he's trying to eat her, but he's actually really gentle. When I brought him in my room last night, she came flying from the other side of the room to say hi to him. She loves her big brother (he still thinks she's an annoying little sister at times, though, but he does like playing with her when he's in the mood).

Your furbabies are so beautiful! Romeo and Dot look like they could be related. Absolutely beautiful markings. They are precious! :mrgreen:
