Adoption Update

Just a brief note to tell you how well June (now Calypso Caliente) and Noki
(now Tolliver) are doing. I adopted them on St. Patrick’s Day weekend this
year. Last year, Memorial Day weekend, I adopted the shelter’s Siamese mix
kitten, Squirt (now Finn.)  (I also had a hoot that weekend at the shelter’s
and many other folks’ garage sales.  I’ve told a lot of people about the fun
of seeing neat stuff at almost  every home in every block in Long Beach.)

The great thing about my little cat colony is how sweet they all are
together.  Each is a definite personality, but the mix works well.  They
cuddle and groom each other in different pairs. Calli, the only
featherweight in the crew (and my only female), trills a lot in conversation
with us all. She particularly adores our dog. When she cuddles up with him,
she’s pretty much enveloped, but he’s gentle and she acts like it’s pure
bliss. When she’s especially happy (mealtime), she stands on her hind legs
so that she can nuzzle his face- she then strolls back and forth rubbing his
chest before she stands up to rub his muzzle again. She is an amazing, happy
little bundle.

Tolly loves being held and also likes having his long fur brushed.
He’s usually the first to sprawl on me when I put my feet up to read or
watch TV. His own feet are still way bigger than the rest of him so I’m sure
he’ll be pretty big as an adult. He’s not keen on having his nails trimmed,
but we’re working on that with treats.

Thanks again for the loan of the travel crate- I’ll return it before too
much time passes.  And thanks for having such sweet, easy going kittens for
me to bring home.  Hats off to you all!

Regards,
D.
