Pixel Was Adopted!

Pixel was adopted at PetSmart on Saturday. I am happy for her that she found a home - but a bit sad for me. She is a very sweet, wonderful kitten and I miss her already.

Ziggy, for some reason, was not adopted.  I know, it's surprising - I was sure this would be his week.  Okay not really - I was pretty sure it wouldn't be his week, and I was right.  But he did have one person look at him.  Unfortunately she was there at the end of the day, when Ziggy is tired and stressed out and being his most misbehaving self.  I suggested that if she saw him when he wasn't tired and stressed out, she would like him more.  But then I referred her to his Fan Page so she could find out the truth about Ziggy.  So I probably won't be hearing from her again.  Nice lady from PetSmart - if you read this - you don't really have to be a lumberjack to adopt Ziggy - although if you have any trees growing in your house that you need chopped down, Ziggy just might be the dog for you.

Introducing Pixel

I had arranged to take in four kittens from someone who's cat had a litter and she couldn't keep them.  As I drove to meet her, she asked if we also had room for a five-month-old kitten (one remaining cat from the momma cat's previous litter).  The lady said the rest of the litter had either run off or been hit by cars or attacked by dogs and she was afraid the same thing would happen to this cat.  The five month old cat, which they were calling Rat, was very sweet.  She and the four kittens were living in the lady's van - the lady just left the door open so the momma cat could come in and out to feed the kittens.  I offered to take the momma cat also, but the lady said she wanted to keep her, but that she would get her spayed so she wouldn't have any more litters.  So that is how I wound up with Rat and four five-week-old kittens.  I changed Rat's name to Pixel, and quickly fell in love with her. 

Pixel is doing great so far.  She is beautiful and sweet and gets along well with the other cats.  She likes to play with feather toys and will happily stalk and chase that feather all over the place until I get tired of dragging it around.  She's been to the vet and is in perfect health, so I am hoping she can get adopted quickly, before I get too attached!
