OT - 2 new QIs rescued
What sweet looking kitties- wish I could have an indoor cat.
(allergies) I'm so happy for you and your family... and for the kitties. Yay! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. Sharon Harper wrote: 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) |

So glad you found the right new kitties for your home Sharon.
They are lucky to have found you. They are nice looking too!

Oh yaaaayy!!!! Some happy news amongst all the departures of QI's
lately is so nice to hear. They're beautiful, and you're so right about shelters. My first 4 were shelter rescues. The current Meezers count too, because they were adopted from my vet, who takes in and re-homes many cats that the local shelters would NOT (too old, need medical care, behaviour problems, etc). I have truly found that a "rescue" animal seems to know that YOU are the person who saved them and gave them a good life. Never seen such devotion from a "bought" animal as I have from all my rescues. Congrats! Johanna |

They are in the best shape I've ever seen a shelter cat! The volunteers
there really loved them and took great care of them. -- 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) "nana2b" wrote in message ... Congratulations on your new QI's. They are beautiful and look in good shape. All but one of my previous QI's (canine and feline) have been rescues. They are the best!! Linda in Tx |

LOL they sure have - I wanna play with them more than they want me at the
mo! -- 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) "desert quilter" wrote in message oups.com... Gorgeous, gorgeous QI's. :-) My own QI is from a shelter too. They considered him a stray (rather than a donation? --wasn't sure what the difference was), so at a mere 8 weeks old, he was in a cage all alone. That drew me right to him. And although he shied away when I picked him up, he had the one of the biggest purrs I ever heard. That settled it. I had to wait 3 agonizing days until his quarantine was over, but after that, the little ball of black fluff that was hardly bigger than my palm was ours. Now after a year, Charley has us all trained. LOL! I'm sure Maisie and Sampson will commence your training soon too. :-) Michelle in Nevada http://community.webshots.com/user/desert_quilter |

Rescued animals thank you every day of their lives. They also seem to
pick you not the other way around. Thanks for helping them but you're the ones who will receive the most out of your kindness. Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless Animals http://community.webtv.net/critterco...ritterComforts |

Competition between them can be a good thing though, as long as they don't
let it make them lose site of the fact that there are other competitors. It will keep them on their toes and help them learn what to look out for from the other competitors. I am really excited for them. I know they will do great. Give them big hugs for me and tell them "good luck" for the next competition.
