Holiday Kitten Update

I realized today that I have not posted an update on the kittens in a long time.  Sorry!  Myka (the tabby) and Jerry (the short hair black) continue to thrive in their new homes.  No one wanted the long hair black kitten because of his shy personality.  When around a potential adopter, he hid.  When I gave him to a stranger to hold, he tried to get away.  So my husband and I decided to make Keanu a permanent part of our family.  I think that was his plan all along.  It just took awhile for us to get it.

That brings me to the buff kitten.  I placed him in a wonderful home only to have him boomerang back because he didn't get along with the resident cat.  He is dominant.  He runs right up to other cats and goes nose to nose with them, even if they are hissing.  And MJ you were right about lynx points being large.  He is huge!  At five months of age he weighs over eight pounds.  His feet are enormous.  My husband and I named him Mauka which means towards the mountain in Hawaiian. 

           

Shortly after we decided to keep Mauka and Keanu, we lost our beloved 17 year old cat Genevieve.  Although they will never replace our precious girl, the kittens helped us through the grieving process with their unconditional love.  Who could resist these adorable little faces!

    Hi Dr. Kris,

    I am SO sorry about Genevieve. My deepest sympathies are with you.
    I am glad for the update, the photo is gorgeous and I am so happy that you had these two beautiful kittens to help you get through the grief of losing Genevieve. May you enjoy a long, happy, healthy future with Keanu and Mauka! XO

    That's how I got Mia my Siamese. She was part of a foster litter three years ago. I adopted her out and she came back three weeks later. She was traumatized from their 5yr old and two Great Danes and sat in a corner for two days before she finally began to realize she was back "home." Today, she's a character...always thinking of things to get into. She's usually the brains behind whatever trouble occurs..but she somehow gets the other cats to do it.

    She loves belly pats and to give Eskimo kisses.
