Here is the kitty I'm hoping to adopt.

She is six weeks old in this picture. We will take her home in another six weeks, provided DH isn't allergic. She's a Siberian and they are supposed to be hypoallergenic - although VERY allergic people will still react. Oh well, if DH has an allergic reaction I can always rehome him

Did you get her? I was wondering if she would be deaf, as are most white cats with blue eyes. She's really beautiful!

This kitty isn't really white. I think she will darken as she gets older. See the tabby stripes on her tail? And it looks like she will be pointed on her face as well.

I'm glad this thread got bumped. See, a funny thing happened on the way to the breeder...

The breeder asked us if we had any preferences on sex or color. We had no preference on sex, but we wanted to get an orange cat, or, failing that, a flamepoint cat.

Flamepoint and sealpoint colorations are a form of albinism. The fur that grows in areas of the cat that are at normal cat body temperature stays white, while the fur that grows in cooler areas of the cat's body (ears, paws, tail, parts of the face) comes in orange (for flamepoint) or grey (for sealpoint). Since the mother cat's womb is at normal cat body temperature, flamepoint and sealpoint kittens are born white, and then the color develops.

There were two white kittens in the litter, a boy and a girl. The breeder thought the boy would stay white and the girl would go flamepoint. She sent us the picture I posted.

The breeder was going to arrange to have the kitten spayed before we picked her up. Then, one day, we got an email from her saying that her usual vet was on vacation and that her backup vet wouldn't do a neuter on a kitten less than 6 months old. I was surprised - NEUTER?? Weren't we getting a girl?? It turned out that the girl stayed white and the boy went flamepoint, so she set aside the boy for us.

And here he is:

Beautiful! Of the feral cats we did the Trap-Neuter-Release program with, two were Lilac Points, and one was Flame Point. The Flame Point was the nicest, sweetest cat we ever worked with!

This is Memphis, our newly adopted basset! We've started doing some volunteer work with Suncoast Basset Rescue, which is where he came from.

I've posted pictures of Forrest before, but this is a good one. My sweet boy has been battling cancer, since October.

And a cute video of them playing! Forrest had open heart surgery in October, and he's doing really well. They removed a tumor on his heart, and he's gone through chemo. His heart is now enlarged due to the type of chemo (Adriamycin), but overall he's doing well and beating the odds every day. To see him play is amazing.

I think I posted these in the "What do you feel like saying?" thread, but I'll put them here, too.

In May, Live-in and I got two kittens.

We were hoping it would help with us missing Lucky (short-sighted, I know), and it hasn't, really, but they've been great fun and we love them so so much already. We named them Sheldon and Leonard.

Leonard is much bigger now than he was in that picture - he's growing so fast!

Sheldon's just freaking adorable.
