Krys-Can I just say how I love the little man!!!!???? I slept in the 2nd bedroom with him all night because Jim insisted that Saleen sleep with him because he thought she felt left out. Anyways, he is doing really well-Jim and I just laid on the floor with him most of last night and took digital pictures-he is doing well, but I can tell he misses home with all his brothers and sisters-I’m sure it will take a while. He sure is a little talker! Also, he loves our little cat condo, when we aren’t doting on him, he resides at the top and stares down at us.
I think he is going to be a daddy’s boy because he follows Jim everywhere. Jim really noticed that he took a liking to him as soon as he got to your house on Monday. I think it was meant to be. I know you put a lot of TLC into raising him-it really shows and is very much appreciated. You can visit him anytime and I’m so excited to see how big he gets-his paws are massive.
God bless and thank you again!
Luv,
Leslie
Congo
Congo is doing great. He has adjusted very well to our home and is a big loveable cat. At first, our new kitten didn't like Congo, hissing and spitting at him, but now they play together and sleep together. Congo and our dog got along right from the start, they just sniffed each other for several minutes... Congo is so good towards our two children and is very tolerate to their overly affections -- he just runs away when they start getting too carried away.
Thank you for such a wonderful cat!
Sincerely
Jeff Reigel
Update: Everything is very well, Congo has fully adjusted to our home. I have attached pictures. He loves to have attention (even demands it on occasion) and is lap cat and sleeps with us at night. Our dog and him get along great -- no fights! My wife hates spiders and one day Congo caught and ate one. Our kitten ate a centipede one day!
He is fond of all of our family and likes to take a shower with the wife -- he likes water and getting wet. The pictures are one of his favorite places to sleep, my computer chair and one is where we can home with paper grocery bag and he had fun playing with it and got the handle around his neck and tore it free from the bag -- goofy Congo!

Virgo is adapting to her new home quickly. She cried, on and off, for about an hour on the way home. She is very affectionate and inquisitive. She sure is a beauty! We quickly changed the cords on the blinds to straight pulls instead of loops, and moved a few hanging plants. I'm ordering a cat tree with hammock, scratching posts, and perches, to try and redirect her climbing and scratching needs. No problem with kitty litter box, she took straight to it.
We thank you for not only a beautiful girl with great confirmation, but also a neat personality. Will keep you posted.
Sincerely, Scott & Nina

She's doing well. We've been deliberately slow in getting her acquainted with everything. We started with one room and then moved to one floor (4 rooms). She and Mobley get along well now. At first, he was aggressive towards her. Then, he lightened up and she became a little more vocal towards him. However, they get along pretty well now. She's still not ready for the dogs yet. I'm ready for her to be though. I hate having gates blocking off rooms, and I'm ready to get her acquainted to the liter box in the basement as opposed to having a liter box in the guest bedroom :)
All in all, she's doing great and has made herself at home. She has little ledges she's claimed as her favorite places to lie. She sleeps with us, and, if one of us happens to even crack our eyes open at night, she's all over us for attention...Also, early in the morning, we hear her and Mobley running through the upstairs chasing each other...Next step - the dogs :) and the basement liter box (yeah!)
Update:
But you can still see How beautiful she is.
She really loves Mobley.
She always rubs up against him and flirts with him. Mobley on the other hand doesn't know what she's doing... Its pretty funny to watch.
She really loves it here and thinks she is the queen. She plays like a kitten, `Always tries to get on the computer desk when your at it. Like right now she is here and I should say she is demanding attention!!!
She jumps on the counters and always gets chased off. She tries to eat people food all the time (she is worse then a dog) Don't worry we don't give it to her, but that doesn't stop her.
We now have to put all bread in the fridge or she will attack the bag and eat the bread. She steals Mobley's treats when its treat time and she eats her soft food as fast as she can so she can help Mobley with his. She plays in the water in the bathroom and loves to wait till you are done with your shower, so she can get a fresh drink. Every once in awhile I will run water for them. Needless to say she is a little stinker... We love her.
She sleeps with us at night or she wonders around with Mobley getting into trouble. There is another place down stairs that she sleeps with Mobley on a blanket on a shelf. Its very cute. I am stuck leaving the blanket there, so they can snuggle together, she also will sleep on the couch next to our girl dog Hannah during the day.
She fits in perfectly. You would of never known she hasn't been here from the start.

Krystal!
She is doing AMAZING! We’re quite surprised at how well, actually! She hasn’t really cried except for initially on the car ride home. She’s eating well, and using the litter box with no problem. She was in total “Explore” mode when we first got her home, and then she was ready to play! We’re having SO much fun with her. She’s been totally affectionate and playful.
Fiery
DipstickHi Krystal,
I know how attached to your cats you are so I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how it was going so far. The ride home was fine. There were some cries for about 15 minutes. I had the radio on very softly and talked to Pluto on the way home. No cries for the rest of the trip. When we got home I set the carrier in our living room with the door open. He stayed in the carrier for about 30 minutes before coming out on his own. He checked the place out finding a secure spot in the kitty condo, then came out. I set him in the liter box and showed him where his food is. He roamed around a little and settled on my lap. He has not used the liter box yet, but he did eat for a little while. He seems to be adjusting really well. We'll probably be up until about Mid-night so we'll see how he's doing and decide if he should go into the bathroom for the night or stay with us. No more crying so far! Devon sacraficed his "Blue" the blanket he has had since he was a baby so Pluto would have something to cuddle up with.
Update:
On to Pluto...he is absolutely precious. Last night I just could leave him alone so he slept in bed with Guy and I. I hope that Guy doesn't start feeling replaced! He snuggled right up with me and stayed in bed all night. He moved around some in the bedroom, but would come back up next to me. The door was open so he could have explored, but didn't. Today he has pretty much just been laying around as far as I can tell. I left the house this morning about 7:30, then went home to check on him about Noon, then at 3pm, and will be heading home for the night by 5pm. He is eating fine and using the liter box. I'm anxious to get back home and see him!
Update:
We have officially decided his name is Fiery! You'll see in the photos he definately as an interest in fire! When we have a fire I watch him very closely and make sure that he can't get too close! In the attached photos we had just started the fire and his curiosity was peaked. After a few minutes he decided it was most enjoyable to spread out on the carpet and enjoy the warmth. He still spends alot of time on my lap and is still sleeping next to me. Yesterday I had to work late and Guy was home before me. Firey was a little squeeky so Devon told Guy "just wait until mom is home and he'll be fine." Sure enough, I walked in the door and he came running. I sat down and he immediately jumped into my lap! I think Guy is feeling a little left out since he had been gone all week and Fiery is a little skidish around him. I'm sure Fiery will warm up to him.
Update:
You would not believe it, Guy and Fiery are bonding! Did you know your kitten has an attraction to the guitar? Guy plays the guitar, tonight Guy started playing and Fiery was a little wound up (playing w/ toy mice, laser pointer, etc.), he sprawled out on the carpet in front of Guy, ears perked up but eyes closing, just getting into it! I wish I had my web cam (it's at work) to show you! I'll bring it home so you can see this!
Update:
Dipstick was great on the way home. No whining on the way! A friend of mine with cats had suggested putting a blanket over the carrier, which we did. I figured we'd try it and it worked great. When we were about a mile from our house I took the blanket off so we could see if there was a difference in behavior, and there was. The meowing started! Initially Fiery was a little territorial, letting Dipstick know that this was his space. A few hisses, a few little bites (nothing blood drawing). We have an entertainment center built into a wall where Dipstick snuggled into some blankets in the bottom compartment where the subwoofer is located. This is an area Fiery has never showed interest in, but within a few minutes Fiery had moved into laying on the blankets and Dipstick was crammed into the space between the subwoofer and shelf. Fiery must have been having a little power trip going on! I pulled them out, not wanting Dipstick to be crammed into a small space out of fear, and they both ended up on my lap. I thought there might be a power struggle, but they both relaxed and sat on my lap together nicely. We started a fire in the fireplace and they are now stretched out on a blanket together in front of the fire. This is really nice as Fiery is not on my lap where he has always thought he had to be continually, and Dipstick seems to be fitting in very comfortably. I can't believe how well Dipstick is doing compared to the whining I went through with Fiery for the first couple of days!
Update!! These two will be featured in the Glamour Shots Pet Brochure for 2008!!!!
Sunny
Sunny is adjusting
real well. He didn't seem to mind the car ride at all. He even talked
with me a few times. Upon arriving home, I let him out of the cage in my
second bedroom. He didn't run and hide, and liked being stroked as well.
Then he started his check out of the room. He checked everything from
side to side, and top to bottom. I always thought that Virgil was
sleeping on my bed during the day. However, I could tell from the shape
of the blankets and comforters that he must be sleeping in the 2nd
bedroom. Sunny already curls up in the already made bed. Sometimes
though, I need to coax him out from under the bed. My little Bengal toy
seems to work the best. It looks just like Aquarius and it's stuffed
with catnip, and Sunny is intrigued by by it.
Both cats are aware that there is another cat in the house. It doesn't
seem to bother either one of them a bit.
It was nice to finally meet up with you and Jason. It's alway nice to
see who is on the other end of email.
Thanks for the time as well.
Mambo
Mambo is doing VERY well. He wasn't to happy about the car ride, but as soon as we came home he wanted to explore his new environment, and jumped out his transportation box! He is so affectionate and slept between us, purring and giving us head butts :) So he had a really good 1st night. I love him already and don't worry, we'll take real good care of him. He's been such a good boy, you can be really proud of him!
Best
Mary
