Our New Kitty

Well after pestering Dave for months now he finally decided it was a good time to adopt a kitty. We had two cats for a few years but they decided they really didn't like our dog (when we only had Mary Jane(MJ))and they decided not to use their litter box at all. We gave them to a no kill shelter and believe they were adopted. Since then we adopted Parker and we were a dog only family.

I was missing a kitty and so were the boys. Like I said it took months before Dave said we could get a new pet. When we decided to adopt we said that we wanted a male cat. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would be the cat we would adopt.

Upon entering the second cat room in this shelter Jane (new name still to be determined) walked right up to Dave and started to rub against him. He sat down on a bench and she jumped right into his lap and laid for about 15 minutes. The boys and I all approached her and she would just purr and give the boys kisses. We asked for information on her and were told she was deaf. We asked if she needed an special care and they told us no. They believe that she is so laid back because she can't hear and so she doesn't startle that easy. After talking it over we decided that since she picked us we had to bring her home. Oh yeah and she also is a big girl weighing in at 12lbs.

We left her in the master bathroom over night and every time we walked in the room she demanded love and would purr in return. This evening we introduced her to both dogs (one at a time) and she and the dogs just sniffed each other and have gone their separate ways. I am sure they will try to get know each other as time goes on but for now they have all accepted each other. She has been exploring her new home and finding all the comfy spots to sleep in tonight. So far she is a joy and we are all excited that she has joined our family.

We are still figuring out her name and since she won't/can't respond haven't debated too intensely. We are either going to call her Pumpkin Pie or Mae (in keeping with our Spider Man theme.) Let me know what you think.....
