Thank you

I hope a boy will calm the rest down but that isn't why we adopted him - there was just something about him.

I like older cats, they estimated his age at around 6. I don't understand why people abandon pets, I just don't get it.

Our cats don't go out but we have a large house so there is a lot of room to run around. We have climbing things and stairs and many rooms so they can spread out. We also put up birdfeeders right outside one of the windows for their viewing enjoyment.

The odd thing was after we lost two cats last year, DH said "that's ok. Three is a perfect number.". We then took in the neighborhood stray because he said "four is only one more and we can't stay here and watch her with snow on her back in the winter". Four became the perfect number until yesterday.

I feel the same way as Tri Girl. If I had the space and money, I would try to do far more.

He IS a pretty boy The picture doesn't show it so much but he has a very round face, he almost looks like a Cheshire Cat. That's his shelter picture so I'm sure there will be plenty more when he gets home.
