Welcome Willow

[janedavitt]

We went over to our friend's house and adopted one of her barn kittens today. She's all grey, so we named her Willow. She was born on July 4th. She's letting us pet her and purring a lot but although she and Mac haven't fought yet, they're doing some hissing and growling or ignoring each other. Give them time. This must be a huge shock to both of them but I hope they'll become friends soon. Mac's seems a bit lost and lonely since Talisker died so I thought this would chirk him up a bit and a small, female cat wouldn't be such a threat as a full-grown male.

She's had her shots but will need spaying so off to the vets this week for her.

Pix under the cut!

Her eyes are arresting.

so cute and pretty :) she's a lucky girl to have you.

[janedavitt]

Aww, thank you!

[everbright]

She's going to be a hoot when she get's comfortable,I can tell. "Hey, pretty Willow, how's ya doin'?"

[janedavitt]

She's a little madam :-))

Pussy willow... She's a beauty.

[janedavitt]

She is seriously cute :-)

[dragovianknight]

Oh, she's so pretty!

[janedavitt]

She's really soft and pettable.

[bluemeridian]

She's a doll! If nothing else, she should distract Mac from his grief for a while until they get to be friends.

[janedavitt]

I hope so!

[chalcopyrite]

She's lovely! I hope she settles in all right.

Thank you for sharing -- a kitty on my network page was just what I needed.

Cats make everything better ::hugs::

Kitty!!!! So pretty grey - she looks like she knows her worth very well, far above our puny human selves:D

[janedavitt]

Indeed ::nods sagely::

[carose59]

She is just beautiful!

[janedavitt]

She really is, bless her!

She looks very pretty, and it's good that she's people friendly. I'm always fascinated when people talk about their cats being friends - our three maintain a state of armed neutrality at best.

Mac and Tally arrived at the same time so they got on okay and would sleep curled up together on my lap.

So pretty! I love that color, and she has a lovely face.

[janedavitt]

She's very very cute :-)

Congrats on the new household member!

[janedavitt]

Many thanks!

I see by the last photo that she's having no trouble settling in. :-D

She's lovely! And no white spots at all? That's pretty neat.

[janedavitt]

None at all! Just shades of grey.

Welcome Willow!

[janedavitt]

She say 'purrrr' :-))

[rainkatt]

What a gorgeous gal!

[janedavitt]

Thank you! ::hugs::

[vickita]

Ah, what a pretty kitty! Hee -- I particularly love the last photo. Yup, she's made herself to home. *g*

I have a little gray kitty like Willow, and she's just the most delightful thing ever, alternately bouncing off the walls and then cuddly as anything.

But be warned: gray cats are DAMNED HARD TO SEE in dim light. Harder than a black cat, even. I've smacked right into poor little Delilah a million times. D'oh!

[janedavitt]

Oh, you're not kidding! I keep losing her, lol.

[paian]

Lovely -- congrats to all of you!

[janedavitt]

Thank you so much! ::hugs::
