Adding to the family

Back in November, I wrote a blog and introduced Moxie.  Here's what I had to say:

Sure we didn’t need another cat, but we’ve been wanting a third.  We’ll try to stop at that number though.  I have a feeling between her and Dottie we’ll have our hands too full for any others.

I guess I was wrong because the past month we'd really been talking about getting a fourth cat.  We went back and forth with the whole need and want debate and changed our minds about 20 times.  In the end, the desire to have another cat won out so we went down to Pet Helpers.  It's a great shelter.  They have most of the adult cats in 4 different rooms with all kinds of things for them to climb and sleep on.  You can just walk right in and meet them.  Between the two days I went there to pick out a cat, I must have spent 5 hours total just going back and forth from room to room meeting all the cats.  It's sad how many cats were there and some have been there for years.

As a little introduction to who our new cat is, I've copied his description from the Pet Helpers website

Ok I don’t want to seem conceded but I may be the coolest cat to have ever entered the pearly gates of Pet Helpers. Ask any staff member you pass who the most awesome cat in the shelter is and they will invariably say me. I will be the first to great you when you walk in the room and try to ride out on your shoulders. It is a crime to think I have been here for almost a year, don’t make me wait a minute longer. I scored nearly perfect on my felinality test but you don’t need a test to see I’m over qualified to be your cat.

They were not exaggerating about him riding out on your shoulders either.  He will jump right on if you let him.  Anyway,  I know y'all are all wanting to actually see him.  Meet Bob.

He seems to be settling right in around here and is not bothered by all these crazy girls hissing at him all the time.  Hopefully they'll become more friendly soon and Bob will get over his "I must explore the kitchen countertops" phase and we'll be able to let him roam the house freely at night.

Bob request that any "welcome to the family" gifts you may feel like sending be little tinsel balls like the one above.  He LOVES them and doesn't understand why the girls would like furry mice more.

Today was vet day for Luna and Bob.  They were very good kitties and were only fussy during shots and anything involving their butts.  I don't blame them.  Do you?  Bob's got an antibiotic shot because he's running a bit of a fever.  Hopefully, he'll be better soon.  Otherwise, both cats were in good health and are now being lazy at home.
