I always have 3 or more cats: two adults and one kitten. But since Dumpling's passing months ago, things have been a bit quiet. Shelley no longer had a baby, and Money didn't have a little buddy to wrestle with.

Anyway, we couldn't wait any longer and adopted a kitty. I think we'll name him Oscar. He's only 5 months old :)

He's super cute and has a very kind Dumpling face. He loves to eat, sleep, poop, and play with fluff. He's also super sweet and is fascinated by everything, especially Puppy. Dumpling also loved Puppy, so I'm glad that he may have a new friend in Oscar as well.

 

My kitty, making friends. We adopted him through a shelter.

    So sweet! I have some friends who have an orange car named Oscar. His original name was Hotdog because he wandered up near the house starving and all they had were hot dogs to lure him in. Don't worry he now eats good kitty food!

    That is so true and so my family and me right now. We recently lost our feline friend (Alonzo) and it only took us 3 weeks to decide we needed another cat. We adopted two, 9 week old kittens (brother, Enzo and sister, Bella) and they have been the funniest, and cutest household obsession. They are currently sitting on my shoulders supervising this comment. First thing I do when I come home from work every day is to dawww all over them.

    My brother had a cat like that and named him Jelly. Well, he was actually named Marmalade (because of the color), but it morphed into Jelly instead. :)

    Oscar looks like my big boy when he was younger.
    I guess you can expect him to look like this when he grows up: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OfGh04LzLpA/TqrSDWOOMBI/AAAAAAAADCc/u5DZn_DyT-Y/s853/P1010478.JPG

    Gingers are extra-special, and Oscar is so handsome! My 2 cats won't let me add any more kitties to our little family, but they do (grudgingly) let me foster stray / feral kittens to socialize them and find them new homes, so I'm lucky that I get to make lots of new kitty friends on a regular basis. :-)

    I am so sorry about Dumpling's passing. :( Don't worry, though. I'm sure he's frolicking with other kitties and will be there to greet you when you pass on. :)

    Oh, and you are awesome for getting a shelter cat. :) Here's to a wonderful life with another adorable little kitty in your family!

    What a handsome ginge Oscar is. Congrats. Your depiction of a new cat's arrival - once again - is so true. This is exactly what it looked like when they picked up Lizzy from the street. She was not even a kitten, they still were head over heals in love with her. Then I restored things to normal: I am the queen, Lizzy may only come after me.

    I type this while our (now 8+) week kitten is passed out on my chest. Congrats on the new kitten! \o/

    We have yet to get a ginger, but I am determined that someday a ginger will join the family. (Currently we have a mostly-white cowtabby boy with a ringed tail, a tabby girl, and Meatball, aka Booger, the new kitten, is a gray tabby. Adopted through the vet's office. They receive fostered kittens and don't even need to advertise for them because they have an ongoing list of patrons who're looking for pets. xD)

    First I'm so sorry for your lost. :(

    Then congratulations for the new kitty. Orange kitties rock! Black too, and gray... anyway, cats always rock! Our orange cat was found on the garage, meowing, on a cold night. Poor thing: sick, hungry with tons of fleas. I'm always happy with stories of kitties finding new homes.

    Dumpling is probably on the heaven's kitty, playing with paper balls, boxes, eating the best kitty treats.

    Adorable! I only have 2 kits right now, turning 2 in February. I have 2 puppyies though, 8 and 3 years. More kittens would be nice but old puppy wouldn't like that very much.

    AWWWWWWWWWWW! *Squeeeee* Yeah, that's exactly how it happens -- they get us wrapped around their little tails and there's no turning back ;) Welcome Oscar! Long, happy, healthy, comfortable, safe, and LOVED life to you -- with lots of turtle-viewing! (So glad you adopted Oscar from a shelter, Yasmine. As someone who advocates for this on social networking sites, I applaud you and urge everyone to ADOPT SHELTER CATS!!! They are wonderful, whatever age/gender/type!
