So true about how to view things, even a cat's color.Our Adventures As A Family of 4....https://www.blogger.com/profile/01960033723429432259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341832251199931304.post-70041629720443983532013-11-20T09:28:02.484-08:002013-11-20T09:28:02.484-08:00Remember how I said that I love redheaded kids?

But my husband who is way more practical than I am would not be swayed by the orange fluff ball of cute. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! BTW none of our cats have been orange or even partly orange :( All good cats but in various shades of grey. But my younger daughter has helped me view them as silver not grey :) It is all about how we chose to view things - even something as small as how I describe my cats' color. maggie khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913135277975855352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341832251199931304.post-40041071711410916832013-11-20T09:16:30.553-08:002013-11-20T09:16:30.553-08:00Yes, it sure does bring it all back.

She does like to be with the girls in the bathroom and in their rooms. She will go in my youngest's room at night when we put her to bed and crack the door. It makes it hard to get her to sleep (and she does have sleep issues) but they are learning to get to know each other. My daughter is just very eager to pet her, etc. and the cat is not used to it. So we are all learning to get along. The cat is just a way different cat from all the others we have had and I have had, growing up. We did have one cat growing up that grew up in my mom's co worker's garage and both kittens we got were not loving at all. My mom and I got them to be very loving cats, but this one after 2 yrs is just finally starting to warm up a bit. So we were not used to that. But she's coming around. There is an orange baby boy kitten at one of the local shelters and I am really interested in having him but he was not ready to go yet. He was talkative, and really loving and he's about 6-8 weeks. We'll see. Not sure I am up for a 2nd cat.Our Adventures As A Family of 4....https://www.blogger.com/profile/01960033723429432259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341832251199931304.post-16297655237011393812013-11-20T06:42:53.389-08:002013-11-20T06:42:53.389-08:00This post brought it all back - the awful paper ch...This post brought it all back - the awful paper chase and waiting and more waiting! Ugh - so glad it is all behind us! As for your cat - give her time - she will get there. She may never be like your old cat but she sounds like she has come a long way from when you first brought her home. BTW we had two cats (now in cat heaven) who never purred unless they were stressed eg going to the vets. They were great cats just not purrers. We now have 2 new cats that purr beautifully but don't seem to like my husband or me much. They are still young and we are hoping that they will warm up to us but the amazing thing is that they love our girls! Will let the girls pick them up, put them in boxes, try to dress them up, etc. So just different from our old cats but still good cats.maggie khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913135277975855352noreply@blogger.com
