The first kitty that I played with was Brad, who I do not have a picture for, because he was quickly adopted by a very cute family with a couple of young girls. He was a young cat, around 6 months of age. He is a brown tabby with marble markings. His coat was SUPER soft and just loved any and all attention. He's a bit aggressive when it came time to play with the feather on a stick, however, he was great about turning it down a notch once your hand comes near. Which is so important because I see many cats that are just not manageable at any point shortly after playing because they think you are a toy as well.
Next up is Connie. Boy is she stressed when it comes to being in the cage. She is constantly
meowing and howling when anyone is within earshot. I took her out second because I thought that after some quality time, she might calm down a bit. I was wrong. Fortunately, when she is outside with you or even without you, she is very sweet, delicate, and pretty quiet. I heard her only meow once when a dog caught her attention when he was being walked near the window. Connie is a very sweet and gentle gray tabby with lots of white. Her hair is a medium-long and she loves to be brushed. She didn't seem very interested in the toys, just affection.
Then came Mowgli. I large 2 year old black boy who is so sweet. Unfortunately he had a touch of blood in his stool which the kennel attendant marked down for the vet to look into. He is just a quiet and content guy who loves affection. He doesn't seem very needy of anything, and would just be thrilled to have a nice spot on the couch and someone to hang out with. He has a nice dark coat. I wish that I could have played with him a bit longer, but he had to go back in his cage once they came to collect Brad for his new family.Pamela was my final play thing. She is so precious and delicate. She was obviously pregnant
when she came into the shelter a little over a week ago. She has been through a rough surgery and is still recovering from her incision. Her glads were quite swollen and warm to the touch. She is 18 months old and very sweet. She really had no interest in the toys, which is not uncommon from recent mothers-to-be. She sat so pretty the entire time on top of a cat condo in the corner and just loved me so sweetly. She licked and head-butted me and purred up a storm. She has a VERY soft dilute tortie coat. I would LOVE to take her home with me. Such a sweet heart!On my way out I got to meet the new volunteer supervisor. She was very friendly and introduced herself to me and said that she recognized my name through the yahoo group that many of the volunteers belong to. It is always nice to have a face to the names you hear so often and even chat with on-line.
