WELCOME INDIGO TO YOUR FOREVER HOME!

1983 Katy Keene Coloring Calender

I'd meant to post much sooner but didn't have much to say.  The year is just whizzing by and before you know it 2015 will be at our door-step. I do have some news, we've adopted a new kitty now named Indy short for Indigo or Indiana Jones if you like. :) He's a little black fur ball, hence the name Indigo and a friend of mine needed to give him a home, if she couldn't find one, well, he would have been turned over to the Humane Society.  I've always wanted a black cat and I finally have one. He's so adorable. We've bonded and he now has his forever home. The other two kitties, Drooler and Kitty are still getting used to having him around, but with time he will be accepted. I think Drooler already has since he can tolerate being in the same room with him, Kitty, not so much. :)  She's still at the hissing "stay away from me" stage. 

Indigo, age 4 months Sept 28, 2014

He's going on five months old now and has been to the vet for a check-up and his first round of shots. His booster will be on the 20th of this month. Then I'm going to have him neutered. I can't believe how expensive it is to just neuter a cat ($108.00). Spaying is even more ($168.00) which is why I was so glad to discover that he was male and not female like the previous owners thought. My friends granddaughter brought him home, unbeknownst to the Grandmother and I think if her Granddaughter had taken care of him  she probably would have been able to keep him. I couldn't believe it when she told me her Granddaughter had kept him in the closet all night with no food or water!  I just don't understand people, I really don't. 

Indy is bonding with me and hubby, mostly with me though. Naturally when he wants loving I have to stop what I'm doing and give him attention. Not that I mind. :)  He's got this squeaky mouse that hubby picked up for him and it's his favorite toy.  I am hoping that Indy will be around longer than Snowbelle was. She was only 7 when she had to be put to sleep and it nearly broke my heart. I didn't intend to bring another kitten into the house but, believe me, I don't regret it for a second. I truly wish I could give more kitties homes but I need a bigger house and people to help me care for them. I'm not getting any younger. There's a drawing by Gary Patterson on one of his cat calender of a person in bed surrounded by cats, that would be me. :)  

Our Master bathroom is the "introduction to the house" room. I put all the cats that are introduced into the home in there. So I made a bed in one of the sinks for Indy to sleep in. The first night he slept on a towel on the shower floor but by the second night I'd put a thick beach towel in one of the sinks and he made it his bed right away.  Now he sleeps in the bed with us right up on my neck. :) Love hearing his little motor going every night. He also likes to try to get on my chest while I'm reading but that is Drooler's domain. He did try to get Drooler to move but Drooler let him know with a hiss that it wasn't going to happen. 

I've a feeling he's going to grow up to be a big cat. Most likely as big as Drooler. He' got these long legs and I do believe he has springs in them judging by how high he jumps from a standing position to get his squeaky mouse. 

Here are more photos of the newest member of our family.    Please welcome my newest boy, Indigo. :)

Indy and the squeaky mouse

Well, that will be all for this time. I have lots more photos of our newest member to post which I will do my utmost to do over the next month. Can't guarantee it though as I'm hopeless as a blogger. 

From 1983 Katy Keene coloring calender altered to reflect dates for 2014  I also took out the year and added the bat. 

Until next time..........................................ALOHA!!
