I could load up the trebuchet and loft Stella your way!

Send her over!

Sounds like she would be a good match. They can go bananas together.

How is Stella's curtain climbing and leather couch scratching?

Mr M is very good with furniture, he hides behind the curtains, but never rips.

Wow, after getting all the preparations for the party all set and trying to pack for the trip, you will totally deserve a great trip. Have a great time! I'm another one looking forward to your pics.

I was thinking the exact same thing after catching up on this thread.

I coouldn't go out the door without using the lint brush first, my stockings ended up with runs, my blinds always had a bend somewhere, my curtains were used as a climbing wall, and cat hair floated in the breeze.

I still want a kitty.

Oh, I'm used to all that. We already have three adult cats. It's the whole "keeping a kitten out of things that might hurt it" part that has me thinking twice. Especially a Tasmanian Devil in disguise, which seems to be what Pooh got! I couldn't bring a kitten in here anyway - my adult cats would throw hissies. (And so would Chris!).

I mostly had siamese/siamese mix. Our last one, Paws, would do a 2 hour morning commute, stay with a friend, and drive 2 hours back with me during the week. He knew morning drives included a stop at McDonalds and if a new worker only passed 2 creams through the window to me, he would hang out the window and meow for his little cup of cream.

We even taught him to "fetch" stuff for us. He would go get his "blanket" and bring it to lay on during movie night, open the cabinet and "pick" which can he wanted at dinnertime, and bring in the paper when we let him out.

I think he thought he was a dog.

funny how cats don't want to enter their basket to go, but they are more than willing to get into the basket to return home ....

one of ours had a closed eye for some while, luckily an injection and bathing with salt water helped sort that out ....

and you don't even know as yet, if the bicycle guy isn't just trying his Casonova-tricks on you, and also wants to get some practice, before moving on to the serious work. Iridal.

Well, I'm sure we could work out an arrangement. Sort of like a practice schedule

After catching Stella repeatedly as she attempted to vault over the tech's shoulder onto the top of the X-ray box, they finally surrendered and swathed her in a towel and wrestled the resulting "purrito" down onto the exam table.

Now I love my cat even more

When we need to go to the vet, I put his basket on the ground with his favourite blankee. He gets in by himself, no problem at all. Then he gets to ride on the tram, where he gets lots of attention from other people who want to look at him. When the vet takes him out of the basket, he starts purring and bumping his head against her hand. Last time he was purring so loud, the vet couldn't listen to his heart or lungs. The only thing he really doesn't like is when she cuts his nails. He pulls away, but that's all he does. No snarling or fighting. Yep, I definitely love my cat

Well ... we currently have all of the above ... but Stella is so damn cute ... even when she's just been untangled [against her will] from the drapes ... I just can't resist a pink bunny nose on a cat. And I've been ingesting cat hairs in my food & drink for years anyway.
[And people wonder why all the cabinets & drawers in the house have so much velcro on them that people have a hard time opening them.]

Adult cat hissies are par for the course. When there's no person in the room, the little devils get along just dandy. Lots of sibling rivalry & attention seeking behavior - think toddler day care!

She's exhausting us out [I figure we have probably 4-6 more months of wide open behavior] but I'd never take her back!
