Emma looks like she is extremely happy to be in your family! How lovely and how lucky she is, and what a pretty name!
Yes, our new kitty has very pretty eyes and eyeliner.
Progress: Pearl and New Kitty sniffed each other today from 2 feet away face to face and did NOT hiss! After a cautious air sniff, they both quietly turned and walked away. A standoff.This was the first non-hiss meeting.
About her tummy... she was spayed about 4 weeks ago and therefore her pink tummy skin is still showing, having had her whole tummy shaved. I'm afraid those are little FAT ROLLS on her tummy!No one at the humane society could tell whether she had had kittens at some point- her nipples indicate not, but she has an appt at my own vet in two weeks for a check up and my vet should be able to figure that out, along with a better age guess.
She was emaciated and sick when the humane society seized her from former owner...but obviously they more than compensated for that over the 3 months she was recovering. There were quite a few 'sassy' chubby kitties there at the shelter.I kidded them about it even. So poor New Kitty has to lose about a pound or so to be sleek and healthy- she is quite heavy and chunky to pick up! From above, she looks too roly-poly roundy.
I'll try to get some more pictures soon- we are so happy with her! DH is now falling under her spell too.
And picking a name is SO hard. Good to get to know them a bit first.
