| At the shelter, before heading home |
Jolie and Kanya went back to the shelter yesterday to be spayed
today! My niece is still interested in adopting 2 kittens, but I am
going to try to convince them that they should get boy cats instead of
girls.
I know, I know. That's not fair to girl
kittahs. And one of the best cats in the world was my little girl
Pepper. But we have 4 staff cats now, and all but one are boy cats. And
all but one are loving, sweet cats. Guess which one has ugly mood
swings? ;) Ripley has her moments where she will take a swipe at you.
Never have I had this issue with my boy cats.

| Jessica in mid hiss at Jammy |
My niece
had a bad experience as a child with a cat. Miss Kitty was similar to
Ripley in that she would attack at any given moment. You might think
that would scar her for life, but she still wants a couple of kittens.
;).

In case you are worried about Jessica being all
alone, don't. She is still here, but she now has 2 little roommates.
Jimmy and Jammy. (No, I did NOT name them.)

| Jimmy checks out the new digs |
They are
pretty cute little guys and happily ignoring all of Jessica's hissing.
She occasionally forgets they are interlopers and plays a little before
she remembers she doesn't like them and hisses again. I figure by
tomorrow the hissing will be all done.
Pancito update:
Pancito went back Monday for a retest and his platelets went from a
low of 28000 up to 52000. Not near where they need to be, but moving in
the right direction! Another test on Saturday, hopefully with good
results and we can wean him off the steroids. Yay!

I have had four of each sex at one time and I can tell you from my experience that it is the girls that tend to be more in your face and attention seeking where as boys tend to be more 'look at me and what I can do" attention seeking..
but after all the years of fostering, I've come to the conclusion that it is more based on the cat's personality then their gender. Some are lap surfers, some are climbers, some are trouble makers and some are not. "tortie" kitties tend to have mood swings where as 'orange kitties" tend to be lovers.. but there too the stereotype doesn't always hold true.
Good luck to the girls! WE know your Niece will find just the right kittens!
It's so hard to tell if it's going to be a girl or a boy who gets fussy and hissy.. I hope your niece gets the exact right kittens for her!
Glad the puppy is doing better, hope his counts keep going up to where they belong!
