Shadow

I had Just lost Merlin Who was a Bombay , and was only 10years young. I was beside myself. As time passed I couldn't bear to see his best friend Kitty {11} at the time be lonely any more {not in the best of health her self I might add}. So I took a ride all over town looking for an all black kitten, or a bombay kitty. I came to this vet office about 38 miles away from home, and they happened to have kittens for sale. Except they had three bi-color, two tabby, and one orange tabby. So I just had to ask to hold one. The woman walked over to the cage it was in the middle of the floor, and opened the door, and mew mew mew out charges Shadow right for me the kitties were all 5 months old all shots and in great health. But Shadow came over to me jumped in my lap and that was it! INSTANT friendship. Then of course HAD to get his sister baby the tabby :)

my black cat, Cali passed away at 13 back in January. I am completely heartbroken. i was in the store one day back in august and something kept telling me i had to buy cat food. thinking that was ridiculous, i walked away from that aisle. i kept feeling like i HAD to buy cat food. so i bought a bag of dry food.
about a month later, i pull into the driveway and sitting under my fiance's work van is a little tuxedo kitten. well, it's a couple of months now, and i have been feeding him when i see him (every few days). a local landscaper who rents nearby told me today he was "rescuing" a little black and white kitten. He asked me if the kitten was mine. I told him i had been feeding him... this man was going to take the cat home with him, but his wife was not too thrilled with getting a 6th cat! so my husband and i took him (yes, we got married recently!) Currently he is in the bathroom behind the toilet and kind of mad at us. I hope he adjusts soon!! he's just adorable. he seems so smart! just don't know what to name him (or her) !! any suggestions? ! (fyi- I almost named cali "shadow" but she was ten months old when i got her and already had her name... she was jet black with a tiny bit of white (maybe ten hairs) on her chest and belly. I think she was a bombay, but not sure...

So sorry to hear about Merlin's passing. I lost my cat Mia last year and I still miss her. I understand the need to get a companion for Kitty. I'm thinking about getting Max a new companion but I don't think I'm ready yet. Max was very lonely during the first few months after Mia's passing. He used to meow a lot any time he didn't see any of us. But lately he's calmed down.

I'm so glad that you found Shadow and his sister. I wish you all a long and happy life.

I'm sorry for your loss of Merlin. I have a Merlin too. He is pictured with the "white Cat" stories. What color is Shadow? I think I have had every color of cat in my lifetime except an orange tabby. I understand about taking home more than you bargained for. I've done it twice now in an effort to save kittens. I have my three musketeers that are about 7 years old now. One is a very light calico (Mostly white), one is a long hair Siamese and one is a tuxedo w/ a black mustache named Groucho (For Groucho Marx). They look nothing alike, but were from the same litter. I would love to see pics of your babies. Thanks for sharing the story.
