i adopted a cat this morning :) they named him wilson, but i need to come up with a name. he's a tuxedo kitty, about a year and a half, and he has a bum back right leg, so he's rocking the pimp strut :D

i'll share pics as soon as i can get some decent shots. it was 2 years ago since my last kitty, trixie, had passed away, and i had been thinking of getting a pet lately. friends of mine hooked me up on the wilson tip, got him from the shelter.

everybody if you have room for a pet, go adopt at a shelter! saves 'em from getting put to sleep, poor babies.

*edited* to add pics to this post :)

    good stuff chiqui! Adopting a pet from the shelter is a great idea. My sister adopted a cat from the shelter last year. :)

    Congrats on your new kitty! Also, thanks for adopting and spreading the word. :) Cats and kittens have a particularly hard time at shelters due to space limitations. :( At one time last summer we had over 100 in foster homes!

    oh yeah i remember you telling me about that! yup, every pet i've ever had were either strays or from a shelter...it's heartbreakign going to such places, i wish i had tons of money, i'd just empty the whole place out and take them all! he's super sweet and mellow, i'm hoping he'll like living here with me :)

    oh wow, 100??

    yeah and if folks can, get a black, black/white or white cat....they get discriminated against :( this little guy probably had his days numbered, between being B&W and having a bad leg. he had a broken leg as a kitten that didn't heal right, so they said he might be predispositioned to have arthritis problems when he's older. i figure though, every animal develops some sort of thing at some point....he's healthy otherwise so i figure just go with it and handle things as they come.

    i think so, beats being at the shelter i know for sure! he lets me hold him and was laying on my lap earlier. my parents and sis came by to see him and he was friendly with all, so i think he's adjusting well :)

    yeah i didn't realize B&W cats and white ones get discriminated against, i thought just black ones did because of the whole superstition BS. but apparenlty they are hard to find homes for. between that and the bad leg, well, i was a sucker i guess. eternal sap :o lol

    justam they think he's probalby a year, to a year and a half.

    i have no idea about names yet....he *sorta* looks like a wilson, but i dunno, he looks like something else to me. i think it'll come to me the more i get to know him. but yeah cutback, some brainstorming sounds like a good idea!

    here's some pics of him i got so far! :)

    Congarats (that's right - I said "Conga Rats")....

    Getting kitties out of shelters is awesome! Good for you!! He looks relaxed, but also he looks full of beans...call him...Mr. Beans!! Think of the nicknames - Beany, Beanzo, Garbanzo Bean, Don't Know Where You Bean, I Don't Care What You've Bean - What Are You Now, String Bean, Bean Bag, Bean Bones...you get the idea...

    Awww Congrats B!! He is sooooo cute!!!!!

    In the last pic he reminds me of Salem (the cat from Sabrina the teenage witch), nut not so much in the other two lol.
    You looking for a PJ related name or just stumped on a name in general?

    Wilson is cute and does suit him. I've been looking at a pic of him (the second one) and trying to think what he looks like. My roommate came in and we like Tux, Penguin or Batman (cause of his ears). I hope this helps.
    Good luck an congrats again!

    He's way too much of a bad ass mofo to have a name like Wilson :p

    Mr. Cool?, Dr. Badd Ass?, Lt. Love Handles?, Sgt. Shags-a-lot?, ...others??

    if you choose to pick any of the four be sure to give me credit for it. :cool:

    So cute!

    I love tux kitties! Noah has a bigger white spot between his eyes than Rosie. Hers is pretty small and but she's got some really defined "boots". Her fronts are like gloves and her backs are like tube socks. Hehehehe

    thanks everybody! it's neat to see other people who are owned by tuxedos as well :D

    last night went great, i had set up this super soft blanket on the couch for him in case he wanted to have his own spot to sleep but ended up sleeping beside me :) i'm training him to use the toilet, have a tray of litter in there for now and he used it twice already!

    he's really playful and loving, gives me tons of kisses, keeps exploring all over the place. he seems to be pretty happy :) i love him bunches

    i still need help on a name for sure! was trying to brainstorm....thanks for the ideas so far, they're all going into the list for sure!

    here's some more pics :)
