Three Reasons Why YOU Need a Kitten! (Free kitties!) - Page 4

Alex · 04-27-2007, 09:08 AM

When I say I'm immune to their cuteness I don't mean to say I don't find them cute, I do. Kittens are uniformly cute.

But seeing a cute kitten does not make me want it. That's what I'm immune too. I can walk through an animal shelter look at all the kittens, play with them, tell them how cute they are and then say "ok now, off to the gas chamber with you."

I don't find animals uniformly cute. Temperament plays a key, and a cute picture says "great disposition" regardless what reality has to say about the situation. The problem I have with animal shelters is that often, I want to take about half the animals home. I know that's not possible, so when I see a really cute one and really really really want it, I do get sad.

Hopefully, my next trip to the animal shelter in UT will result in the bringing home of a doggie and a kitty. !!!

I love most all animals.

Especially with BBQ sauce.

Well, all the kitties found homes, and we pick them up tonight!

Emmy, the one in the first photo, is ours.

And, here's what I did today in preparation for her homecoming:

To help with the "barrier" method of giving Emmy her own space and keeping the other cats out, we decided upon a cardboard box, with an opening large enough for her, but too small for our big babies, until everyone is comfortable in a few days or so. (Our bathrooms are way too small to lock her away, and I'd like to keep an eye on her.)

Of course, I can't let anything be that simple, so here are the results of that idea -

Note the curtains in the front "windows".

This is the backside access port so we can scoop her box, etc. I made the roof slanted to keep our big cats from sitting on top and causing a "cave in", and added tabs to keep it locked down, but easily accessible.

And, this is the interior, with flooring that matches the curtains.

You know I love, right?
But sometimes, you scare me you're so creative.

Enjoy your new kitty, and take lots of pictures!!!

Aww! Thank you so much for posting those pictures, Disneyphile! You did a fantastic job! I love it!

You love animals as much as I do! Except I had a 65 pound black lab that insisted on sleeping in bed with me, only not at the foot of the bed. She had to spoon with me while her little puppy head was nestled in the pillow.

No pictures of her family on the walls?!

Thanks for the idea!

But, sadly, our printer is out of ink right now.

Due to unforseen circumstances beyond her control......bella from Micechat won't be able to adopt Flo....Anyone one interested in a real sweetheart?

MUST RESIST.

If I make it through this "kitten season" with a divorce, I'll be happy.
