I seem to have no so great of luck when it comes to cats. Moe was the cat I was able to keep around the longest. I got him for Christmas in the 6th grade and he disappeared close to the end of my Senior year. Soon after he was gone I adopted Alara. Since I went off to school right after that, she spent four years living with mom and dad while I was away. After graduation she moved to Kansas with me. In September 2007 I had to put Alara down. With the billions of farm cats around at the time it didn't take too long to adopt another (or two) as mine. Tiny, a little runt cat and Puff, aka Big Fluffy Orange Cat. A short time before I left the farm Puff and Tiny went missing. I adopted O'Malley on March 17th, 2009, just days before I returned to Colorado. Quincie soon joined our little family in July 2009. O'Malley had some behavioral issues and had to be put down in December 2009.
Quince moved with me from the apartment and into mom and dad's. As you know, she didn't get to join us in the new place. I think she knew that I was not returning to live at mom and dad's but what she didn't realize was that I would be back for her. I have spent a lot of time at the Humane Society recently. We posted signs in the neighborhood and even got a few calls of possible Q sightings. I was very hopeful at first that she would come home, but alas she has not.
We were planning on waiting to adopt another kitty until after out trips in October and November. Then I came across an add on the county "for sale" site at work. There was a cute little cat 3-5 years old who has spent a majority of her life as a stray and she recently gave birth to a litter of kittens. Her current home, a foster home, was looking for a forever home for her. Adam and I went and met her and loved her right away. She is a real sweetie! We named her Noodles! We are still getting to know each other as she has only been here since Thursday night. She is loving and playful and a begger. No matter what you have in your hand she wants to know if she can have a bite. We plan to keep her indoors only. Now we're crossing our fingers that she's a part of our life for years to come. Also, if Quincie does decide to come back, we think they would make great friends!
