OT - 2 new QIs rescued
Yuppers, while I was slaving away at work today DH took the DDs to the local
animal shelter to see the cats (something we've been doing since Merlot passed). Maddy had reached the go-kart goal she'd been set and all systems were go. Please allow me to introduce to you..... Maisie the Majestic (warning - not her best photo) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazru...cd.jpg&.src=ph and Sampson the Sexy http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazru...cd.jpg&.src=ph Maisie (2 years old) is Sampson's (18 months) mum, he was born when she was just six months old and he is now double her size. They were found abandoned in an old box at a factory and when they were found (October 05) Sampson was still suckling mum!! Plus she was pregnant with another litter which the shelter, by law, had to abort. They had cat flu and so had not been put on display and by the time they were over the flu, again by law, the shelter was unable to put them on display because they'd had them longer than the 28 days they are allowed to keep all abandoned animals. So they'd had them out the back. DH found their pictures on the shelter's website and went in and asked to see them. The poor volunteers were in floods of tears when we adopted them and gave the cats lots of parting gifts, they were that happy to see them homed. So at the moment Maisie is downstairs and Sampson is upstairs sleeping. They should settle in quite well I think. So a bit of advice, if you need a QI, visit a shelter. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) |

DH was quite sniffly when he told me their story and I had quite a good sook
too! They've spent the evening chasing each other up and down the hallway and stairs. They are still a bit skitty around us but are getting more affectionate. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) (who is having a good giggle at Maisie and Sampson) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Patti" wrote in message ...

Oh no! or Oh yes!
You've named the grey after my recently departed dear mother! Maisie. I have to say, I can see a resemblence, as Mother was quite grey when she passed away LOL. They are both cuties and I am sure they can be swiftly brought up to speed as QI's.

OT - 2 new QIs rescued
OH my those are two beautiful cats! (especially Sampson! his name is *very*
apt!) I may be adopting a cat soon not from a shelter but by adopting this cat I will be saving it *from* a shelter so it's a good rescue in my eyes - I am basically on standby - if the cat settles in my friends house it stays and if it doesn't I get him. The original owner was going to take him to a shelter unless the cat found a new home so we will wait and see :-) -- Jessamy In The Netherlands Take out: so much quilting to reply.

OT - 2 new QIs rescued
All of my QIs are "rescues" and I wouldn't have it any other way. They are
given a second chance at life and I am given a loving companion. Who could ask for more? Your new QIs just took my breath away. Maisie is the image of my beautiful Tuppy (who is no longer with me) and Samson bears an uncanny resemblance to Boofhead. They are beautiful and already look very settled. After such a rough start in life I'm sure they know just how fortunate they are to have found a home with you. My three QIs got carted off to the vet for their annual checkup and "jabbies" this morning (rounding up three recalcitrant cats and stuffing them in cages is "fun", especially when they are the size of Enness!) so they are pretending not to love me ATM. However, both Boof and Donut are keeping one eye half open, watching to see when I go to bed. Obviously being cross with me does not preclude sleeping on the bed. May you and your family enjoy the companionship of your new adoptees for many years to come. Please give them both a gentle ear rub from me. -- Cheryl in Oz http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest cawaitesATnetconnectDOTcomDOTau "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u...

They are still a bit skitty around us but are getting more affectionate. Give them laps and cuddles as often as possible, and they'll soon turn into cuddlecats! As they have always been together, they'll spend half their time squabbling and having hair-pulling arguments and half their time snuggled up together!

Congratulations on your new family members - both are just adorable.
The shelter is the best place to get a cat or dog - we have proof of that in our home too. My darling Clancy has been an angel from the day we got her 10 years ago - wouldn't give her up for all the tea in China. Sharon |
