Tanji chats a bit when he is in the mood or has something really important to tell me. The others keep their thought to themselves. Tango sat outside my door last night for 5 minutes telling me how rude I was to not allow her in my bedroom. Well how is she going to insure that you keep her forever and ever if she can't snuggle in for a nice nap and purr you to sleep.

I sleep with one at my feet and one in my arms in winter. And my new heated throw has made me especially popular.

Why would any company make a furry throw that lights up?
My cats don't have an issue with dark at all but they sure do like warm.

Companies don't really make things for cats, they make things for their CCL owners.
Oh pretty, oh it lights up, oh it's got a cat print, oh it's pink, oh it's purple, oh it got me to buy it!!

A lighted blanket, now I've heard it all. Light and sleep don't mix. I do leave a light on in the kitchen for the cats (and me, really) but we don't sleep there so it's okay.

It wasn't a cat specific or even a ccl item. Just a white fur blanket with lights that change colors. Probably a Christmas novelty. Still heat would have been better for humans or critters.

Just got an email from the rescue.
She wants me to bring Tango to one of her adoption Petsmarts on Saturday afternoon for a possible adoption along with her sister. There is a couple driving in from a town about 20 miles away to see them. Not sure how they found out about the sisters but I know Sabrina will be jumping for joy.

I do hope Tango and her sibling are adopted by a very loving family but I sure will miss your posts about your conversations with her.

The challenge will be getting her into a carrier to take to Petsmart on Saturday. Sometimes she is all over me talking and rubbing and then the next time, she acts like I am going to stick needles in her eyes. I would like to give her a Capstar before we go in case she has fleas but she does not like being medicated. How come I get all these half psycho cats? ? From what I hear, the sister is a total love bug all the time but she is not a talker.

They make a nice pair.
I hope they do get adopted to a loving home. They deserve to be together.

I hope Tango and her sister will be happy to see each other. You know how cats are - they may decide that they've never seen each other before!

That is what I am afraid of, Tabby. They have been apart for awhile now and it could turn into a Sabrina and Savannah like hiss fest.
Tango is one of those cats that I won't know how she will "show". I doubt very seriously that she is going to walk out of the carrier and start talking all friendly like but ya never know.

My cat did. But I was the first person he did that with, he'd been at the shelter for a week hiding in the kitty condo.

Linda, my ffriend/pet sitter, is voting for Tango to stay right where she is.
She said that Tango has already found her home.

I am going to do a trial run tomorrow to see if I can get her into a carrier.
It took two of the ladies at the shelter to box her up when I went to pick her up.
If I can't get her boxed up, the rescue lady can come pick her up if she wants her to show up at Petsmart.
Shirley, at this stage of the game, we have passed worrying about numbers about 4 cats ago. As long as everybody gets along most of the time, we are all good.
Linda will be in charge of the cats if something happens to me so I always consult her although I always know what she will say.

I think Tango may be ok Kritter.
She was so freaked out when she came to you it's no wonder she didn't want to get in a carrier. Things have settled down for her now so she may go right in.

I hope so, Shirley, but I am not so sure after I tried to give her a pill the other night. She went bat shit crazy on me when I scruffed her. She doesn't have much loose skin on the back of her head for scruffing so the whole plan went downhill fast. She is a big girl too and not all hair like Sabrina.
I have a healthy respect for declawed cats because they are usually biters since they don't have their claws. Haven't had a cat bite in a long time and would like to stay on that path.

can't you throw a towel or blanket over her and somehow maneuver her in?

Stuff her back legs in first and avoid the bitey part. Good luck!

Just keep her. You have to keep up with Shirley anyway, and she just got a new one.

Yeah, but Kritter just got a cutie MomKat and a basket full of kittens. So who knows how many cats she has now.

Actually the prissy pants Diva was there first.
But Tango is a nicer kitty, and she is black, which is extra bonus points in my book.
