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

Lucky you & lucky babies,nine days will go very quickly.
I wouldn't worry too much about the colour scheme,daughters big black MC has always loved pink....
Updates & pictures as soon as possible please.

Now waiting for outcome of Kingedmund's visit !

Great! How lucky you are!
Go on and indulge yourself... buy the pink thingies. Kitty probably couldn't care less but it's sooo nice to get stuff for them.
What's her name? And what does she look like?

How exciting Jolly - thrilled for you. Wouldn't be without our two now -- so much fun to watch them together! Hope the next 9 days go really fast :-)

Well, unfortunately I really don't think his sister is the one...
We really didn't click all that well, and although I can tell some similarities to her brother, she just didn't grab my heart... kinda sad because she's much cuter now that she's growing into her fun pattern! I'll still think about it, but I just don't feel right about it like I did with Edmund...
But I have kept my search going online and plan on seeing a couple of furries tomorrow... so we'll see what happens! I am strictly looking at Maine Coons, whether or not they are purebred or mixed isn't the main point, but I kind of wouldn't mind a mixed for the sole reason that it could be a lot cheaper! We'll see and I'll let you know what I find out!

Ok, so I haven't gotten to meet her in person yet (hope to this week), but after speaking with the foster parent of this darling little Maine Coon tabby furry... the way she describes her I have a feeling she is "the one" for me and Edmund... The only glitch is the lady said MANY people have inquired about her, and there's another application already being processed for her -- but nothing has been decided yet. The main requirement they have (besides obviously being able to provide for the cat) is that the new owner must already have a loving, sociable cat because this new kitty is pretty clingy and needs a friend always around (I have a loving cat, plus I work from home, so plus for them picking me!)
My heart melted when I first saw her (and how couldn't it!)
She's young, but being a rescue I understand - it's not like a breeder is purposefully selling a kitten too young. She was found abandoned, but the foster parent says she has adjusted to being around her and her cats beautifully and is extremely loving and has quite a fun mischievous personality.

She's 9 and 1/2 weeks old now, but I don't know how old she is in this picture.

Oh no.......change of plan. It turns out that the sister is now not available.

Very long story, basically the orignal owner reserved her at 2 weeks old and then wasnt in touch with the breeder for 9 weeks so the breeder opened back up the availability of the sister to us.

The next day (yesterday) the original lady got back in touch with the breeder to say that there had been a death in the family and she has been busy but was really looking forward to her kitten......so now we cant have her.

To say im gutted is an understatement :(

Boo hoo.

I'm sorry for you, that has to be hard.
I hope nothing like that happens with this kitty for me. I mean right now I know she may or may not be mine, but I would hate to think one way and then have it change...

Not the postings you want to see,so sorry for you Jolly,if you now think two is the way to go hopefully there is another babe out there waiting for you.
Sorry that the girl was not for you Kingedmund but fingers crossed for the little one....

Oh what a shame Jolly, to have your hopes up like that and all for nothing. But as Jckkerrison says, there is another babe out there for you, you just have to find her/him.
I know our breeder let down another lady at the very last minute so that we could have Monty, so these things sometimes happen. She very much wanted Monty to be homed with his brother, so she was prepared to disappoint the other lady for that reason.
