It's a Boy!!!!


Please welcome our new kitten, Finbar Huckleberry. He’s adorable! He’s polydactyl both front and back feet, black, white and tiger coloring and has a smidgeon of Maine Coon in his ancestry, according to the vet.

He was born on or around July 1, 2006 and was found in the woods. A kind lady brought his mother and the kittens into her home and kept the mother but gave up the kittens to the animal shelter where we found this little ball of fluff.

The quest is over and in 24 hours he has declared dominance over our older cat and is not showing great fear of the dogs either. We’re keeping the dogs behind the kitchen gate and letting them sniff each other.

When the dogs bark, he runs, but I know it won’t take long before they’re all cuddled up together.

The cat karma in my home is better with two; must be some form of feline feng shui.


Now everything is purrrrrrrrrfect!

Feline feng shui, that must be it. Congrats to the new addition!

He sounds adorable. Will you be posting some pictures?

A picture would be great ... congratulations! I love the name.

See, the shelters are real-world protectors of furry friends, much more so, I think, than these so-called rescue groups that only let the creature go to a good home if you (the good home giver) pass inspection standing on the Bradley runway facing southwest at high noon on a Tuesday that falls on an odd-numbered day of the month. And then they reserve the right to take the creature back if you break any of the 472 rules of adoption.

I wanted to get a kitten that looked just like Sylvester, but Stanley pointed out a 900 mile trip would be pretty rough on it. He was right -- but I still think about that kitten.

Hi Lawbrat and Lee!! I learned my lesson -- stay away from any group that starts "Friends of" and go straight to the shelter.
