My current news: I'm going to foster-to-(hopefully)adopt a kitten. You guys might know that I lost my 16yo boy cat this year and his sister 2 years ago. I have a 1yo cat that I picked up a year ago, but...she's kinda a terror. Fun to play with, cute as can be, but she doesn't snuggle and barely lets you pet her. It's a big shock after Jasper and Jezzie, who would basically let me do anything to them and were big snugglebugs. But this weekend my mom (who I live with) indicated that she would be open to me adopting another cat as long as it was another female. So I did a bunch of research on young female cats in the area, looking specifically for smoochers, and when I went to PetSmart today, one was there, and OMG, she's a lover. The volunteer suggested I apply as a foster for a few weeks to make sure we're compatible (and my current cat and my family), and so I'm applying to foster!
I don't post on this thread because I don;t write for teens, but I just want to say I hope everything works out for you and the cat. I started a thread while back about fun foster pet stories. It's in the "Animals and Nature" forum and some people gave some helpful tips . Feel free to share your stories about the kitten. I'd love to hear them. I know I loved to go on and on about my foster (now adopted) kitten and I'm sure you will too.
