    Default i got 2 new kittens!!! yay!

    i'm so happy! i was casually thinking about getting another cat to keep my first cat company, and i was at petsmart with my mom today and decided to go look at the cats they had for adoption. they very rarely have kittens, and they had a ton. i couldnt decide between a brother and a sister so i got them both one will stay at my parents house with my brother, though. so i need cute names for a little stripey 9 week old girl kitten! my other cats name is jasper so it needs to sound good with that, haha.

    i'll post pics soon!

    I am so jealous, now you have 3 kittens, and I have none, lol!

    How is Jasper doing with the new arrivals?

    ^ hehe, i was just about to pm you! im sad that im only keeping one of the kitties, though. i freaking love having cuddly, playful babies around! and the boy, the one that my brother is keeping.. he's not the one i originally wanted but now that we're home im in love with him! oh well, though...

    jasper is.. ok. i guess. he came out to sniff at them and stuff, and he hissed and batted at them, but he's settling down. the kittens are both growling or hissing back if he hisses at them, so i think he gets it. he'll be fine soon, hopefully!

    i dont get to keep them both.. i dont know if i can handle 3 cats! my brother is keeping one. but i paid the adoption fee to get them both, i just couldnt leave one of them all alone there. who knows.. i'll probably end up with both of these, my dad is really mad that my mom let us buy another animal to live here. but oh well!

    i took some pictures, i have to see if my brother has a cable to put them on the computer. mine is at my apartment, packed up in a box somewhere because im moving in a week. boo. theyre so cute!

    oh.. and does anybody know what is a better pair? will jasper do better with the boy or the girl kitten? he's about 8-10 months old now(i dont know for sure because he was adopted and they told me 4 months but the vet said 6) and not very social. he's good with me but it took a long time for him to warm up, and hes very tempermental. i wanted the girl and my brother wants the boy, but i told my brother its up to jasper because i want what will work out best for him.

    He'll do better with a girl kitten. With another male kitten he will become too territorial especially if they both are not neutered (de sexed). Are they both de-sexed? Also, please please please in future do NOT buy from a retail pet store.

    Plus did you gradually introduce the kitten to the existing cat? Just putting them together in your home and hoping they work it out for themselves won't really work best. Since both the existing cat and the kitten are rather young... it shouldn't take long for them to get along well enough.

    Another trick is to pat one cat and then pat the other and vice versa. Esp. try to pat each cat where their scent glands are (under the chin is one area) so you can transfer the scent of one cat onto the other cat.... thus getting each "used to" the other cat's scent/smell.

    Petsmart is not retail for cats and dogs...they usually work in conjunction with the local humane society to showcase shelter animals that are up for adoption.

    My bad

    There are quite a few pet stores here on the Coast that do the same.

    THANK YOU then for going and supporting such businesses. If only the retail pet stores would do the same *cough*petsparadise*cough*

    No prob..I figured maybe there wasnt a Petsmart in Aus. so why would you know that?! I'd have said the same thing if I thought someone had bought from a pet store!

    I too wish other retail outlets would do this..but sadly, they arent about to give up their huge profits on sickly animals. I wish that it would just be made illegal to sell/breed animals without a license that requires frequent inspections, training, etc...so that puppy mills and backyard breeders would cease to exist....but alas...I dont see that anywhere on the horizon. So we'll continue to go to the mall and see puppies and kittens on the brink of death selling for thousands.

    And Britt...when so we get to see pics of the new little princess??? I need a kitten fix!

    ^ yeah, i was gonna say.. they were from a shelter called last chance so sad! i decided to name her olivia. i thought of it earlier and then my mom said it when we were going through a few names, so thats what we picked the boy doesnt have a name yet, my brother is picking names me and my mom dont like and we're picking names he doesnt. so we'll have to wait for something to come to us. im going to feel so bad splitting them up because the boy cries when hes away from his sister. i cant take 2 kittens though, it wouldnt be fair to my jasper.

    i took some pics on my phone, lemme try and email them to myself or something.

    edit: i dont know how to do it! and i cant find my parents connector to upload pics from my camera. grrr. soon, i promise!

    Olivia is very cute!
    How about Oliver for the boy then?

    A quick (off topic) note about the pet stores - there is a BIG one here in the mall where there are literally tons of puppies and kids and parents swarming around them trying to purchase/adopt them all. Of course the animals are adorable and my female/pregnant hormones went nuts from the cuteness of it but OMG did I feel bad for all of them too. I walked away wondering how many of the dogs' relatives and siblings were killed, injured or sick from the puppy mills/farms. So sad!
    Petsmart is definitely good. My uncle adopted two sister kittens many years ago from there and they're still doing great.

    So precious! I like their names too.
    Jasper will get used to them - it takes time in any kitty household to adjust.

    i'm working on it.. it seems like one minute he hates them and the next he's playing with them. i think hes kinda left out, too, because theyre both younger and play together more. but hes lazy, even though he's still young, so he'll learn to love them! haha.. he has no choice
