Thread: I'm such a sucker for these guys...

Jolly, that's really sad news, I can't imagine how disappointing it must be. But, these MC's are pretty special creatures and the fatalist in me says Jackie et al are right; the perfect Coonie for you and Jasper is out there, just waiting for you to find him/her. Fingers crossed you won't be searching for too long.

Kari, sorry to hear Edmund's little sis didn't work out, but the new kitty you're waiting to hear on is just adorable; such a cute little face and pretty colouring. Again, fingers crossed that the decision goes your way.

I've not had the experience either of you have had, but I do understand the strange feeling you get when you've made your mind up to get another one. I'd decided I wanted a black smoke girl and on a whim I went onto the Freyja's breeder's site just in case she'd got any black smokes. It was a total shock to discover 4 on there! And one in particular stood out in the photo's cause she had long silver wisps in her ears. And a VERY confident expression on her face (sound familiar??) I remember feeling anxious to get to the breeder and see the kittens, I was so nervous that 'my' kitten might be one of them and was paranoid that someone would get to them first!

Fingers crossed guys, keep us posted.

I've been stressing out all week about this. However, the breeder has more kittens who are going to be available in January and she is going to hold the girl for us. At least this way we can get Paddington settled in and then have the joys of another kitten in January. Problem solved.

The breeder assumed that as she hadn't heard from her in such a long time that she had changed her mind about the female kitten, the breeder had been calling, txting and emailing her but was not getting a reply back. So i understand her reasons for opening up the availability again and totally understood the rationale when i learned we couldn't have her, so all ok.

Thanks for all your kind words, things happen for a reason and it obviously wasn't meant to be.

In the mean time, our fabbo dabbo cat tree has arrived and im really looking forward to putting it together! Fun fun fun!

Ha! Well that will be a project for you and it will take your mind off your disappointment. When it's all put together you can spend ages watching your babe having fun. It's better than telly.

Glad to hear you will be able to get another soon, Jolly!

I'm not getting the little girl I was wanting. They ruled for her to go with a family that was able to adopt her along with one of her litter mates (plus, it isn't like I had any claim on her before hand). So I'm glad for them to get to stick together, and I was only up for getting one more right now, not two more (yet). Being a full time caregiver I can't really let my grandma's WHOLE house be overrun by giant cats.

I'm still searching, but part of me is trying to be practical and I might force myself to hold off for a couple more months. I'm planning to take Edmund with me on one or two fairly long car trips at Christmas and one in January. He's doing really well when I take him on trips around town, and I don't know if I have time to get another baby used to the car or not... (this was also my mother's advice when I told her on the phone the other day that I am looking for another).
Plus, Edmund really is my little man and I know I will be okay with only him, I just would like another for both of us!
