Friends and Kitties!
A few years back, some ignorant moron poor misguided fool opined that there were "too many cats on the internet", and that September 9 should be declared a "No Cats Day".
NEVER!
The cats of the world retaliated by declaring the day Mo' Cats Day!
Now, I personally think that there may be such a thing as too many cats in the house (a number currently exceeded at my abode) but there's always room for one more kitty on the innernets, and with that in mind, here are some Mo' photos of my folks' new feline family member, Shadow!
Please note the table runner bunched up on the chair.
All the better to stalk an unsuspecting Human!
Shadow naps here every afternoon. She has a clear sight line down the hall and into the living room from her top secret lair perch so she can keep tabs on her Mom and Dad at all times.
Because they need watching.
Also, it's a fine alternative for the spurned (and pricey!) heated cat cup.
Underneath the chair is a great place to watch out the patio door...
...and take advantage of any (and all) possible Snoopervising activities.
I ordered some Cat-warming gifts for my folks, and Amazon provided a Most Excellent Box, as well. Shadow doesn't know how to play much, yet. She loves Da Bird though, and she opened the closet where Dad stowed it and proudly trotted down the hall to show off her prize! She meeps and murps and chatters when she wants attention, and she's not shy at all--no such thing as a stranger for her. The folks have had friends over to meet the new furry family member, and Shadow is always ready to schmooze.
She refused to use her prettily decorated and ridiculously priced food bowls and place mat preferring plain white serving ware.
Kudos to the folks for figuring that one out!
Mom enticed her onto the heretofore ignored cat tree yesterday by playing with a toy, and it was a revelation, even though those Airplane Ears might lead you to think otherwise.
The tube is just right for a small House Panther.
Shadow has a nice place to survey her Queendom in the entryway...
...as well accept expert rubbins from the serfs.
Mom and Dad say Shadow looks just like a British Bombay cat, and her round green eyes follow them everywhere, watching. She's tiny but dense, like a brick wrapped in silk. I cannot begin to describe how gratified and happy I am knowing that my folks have a kitty. It makes me verklempt. I see photos of her in their house and it is just so right, to see a cat there. It never fails to amaze me how smart cats are, how quick is their ability to adapt, and how adept they are at winning our hearts so quickly and completely.
Of course I'm flying down for a visit. Soon.
Happy Sunday, and Have a Great Week!
Oh, and all of you, get Mo' Cats! You won't regret it.

Well, of COURSE she's beauteous--she looks just like me! Concats to the Folks and their new family member ;-)
ReplyDeleteShadow is unbeleivably well behaved! She is very cute too!
ReplyDeleteShadow sounds like the most amazing kitty! My human wonders why SHE "never gets one like that."
ReplyDeleteI think I have officially been insulted.
Sounds like Shadow has settled in very well. We can't wait to see how she reacts when the Bobcats come to visit. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a little sweetie! She's certainly taken over quickly! Good for her! And good for your parents! She's gonna really change their lives, for the best!
ReplyDeleteMo Cats, yes!!!!
Awww...you know we have a soft spot for house panthers! Of course there is never such a thing as too many cats...um...unless they are trying to share my attention or my food bowl...or my momma!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Shadow is doing good! That young ladycat will have all the mancats howlin! (we assume she will make a sumwhat regular appearance at the Lounge? - paws crossed)
ReplyDeleteShadow is a beauty
ReplyDeleteshe is wonderful and has a great home. We are glad you convinced them! Next step, mo' cats for your folks!!

Have a lovely day!
Shadow sure has made herself at home! Happy Mo' Cats Day!
ReplyDeleteOh, Shadow is a beautiful girl!! These are all great pictures! Wishing her many, wonderful and happy years with your folks. She looks like a real sweetie. We had to giggle about her going to the closet and getting Da Bird. Now that was just so cute! Hugs and nose kisses
ReplyDelete"Too many cats?????"
ReplyDeleteSheesh....humans are dumb.

Shadow is truly beautiful and I would bet there IS some Bombay there in her. But she is a beautiful loved and loving House Panfur and as such, we adore her. There IS something about seeing a cat in a home. The cat makes the house a home. xx

I am so very happy for sweet Shadow! Mo Cats is a grand idea, today and every day!
ReplyDeleteAtta Girl. A complete takeover! And they have all the proper accompaniments for a kitty too...beds, toys, perches, dishes! She'll try out that heated cat cup in good time.
ReplyDeleteDoes she sleep with them too?
Shadow is lovely. We love those big round piercing eyes! Purrs!
ReplyDeleteShadow is a love
ReplyDeleteand an exquisite looking girl.
She will do very well with her humble serfs =)

this post made me smile
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty! And now is a very much loved beauty :)
ReplyDeleteShe is just gorgeous just because she is black. Nothing better than a black kitty. We are so glad she has such a good home. I think between the two of us, we do keep the innernets full of kitties. Here is hoping that is enough for this residence. Take care.
ReplyDeleteShadow is a beauty. We can tell how much her Mom and Dad love her!

Shadow you our happy house panther are the luckiest kitty in the universe to have landed in the lap of your new peeps. Good to know you are in charge of entertainment, hunting and have set them straight on the proper flatware. MOL that cracked us up!!

ReplyDeleteShadow is such a beauty.

I love the description "Like a brick wrapped in silk"! It looks like Shadow found the most perfect home!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see Shadow again and his new family :) What a great kitty and we can imagine how good you must feel. Hope you do get down there soon to see the parents and visit.
ReplyDeleteMo'Cats? Mitty and Anastasia were adopted together and it seems it's a certain time of year this happens and fast approaching (November)! Right now, our houseful is plenty..
and we're happy.
Hugs,
Tom, Mom Julie, Tinker, Mitty & Anastasia
I agree, there are never too many cats on the internet. And I've decided one cat is the perfect nunber in my house (my humans keep talking about getting another cat). We used to have that same cat perch. It got a lot of use before we redocorated and got some new perches. That one went to our local cat shelter and those kitties had an amazingly good time on it.
ReplyDeleteAwww that's so sweet. I'm happy for Shadow as it looks as if she's living in the purrfect house for her.
ReplyDeleteShadow is beautiful, and she is doing a good job of getting your parents trained to her way of thinking.
ReplyDeleteI think Shadow is beautiful and being a house panther is cool! I'm glad everybody is lovin' on everybody--and I want her cat tree.
ReplyDeleteNoir
PS. I'm sorry your Mommy passed out when she saw Mooch's tummy. :)
Shadow is absolutely gorgeous! You sure can tell she has her mom and dad wrapped around her sweet little paws.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a happy story for today! Sure looks like Shadow is very happy with the digs. :)
ReplyDeleteShadow is a blessed beauty to have a forever home with your folks.

Another beautyful kittie who has her beans at her beck and call.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mo Cats Day.
I love to see a happy kitty in her new furrever home!
ReplyDeletePurrs
Concatulations on the new family member! She looks pawesome!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mo' Cats Day! You have mo' than done your part, and we are excited your rents have a kitty now too. Kudos for taking in a house panther! BTW we gave you an award. You may have already gotten it, it took us from July to post about it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mo Cats Day to the Mo Cats Lounge!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteYay, parents. Yay Shadow, win win!
ReplyDeleteShadow sure looks like she's doing well. Happy Mo' Cats Day, dear friends! :)
ReplyDeleteShadow looks like she found the purrfect furever home! Everybuddy is smitten - even us!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who's more smitten, your folks or the cat! What a lovely home Shadow has landed in. No wonder she's so happy. Kitty nirvana!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that table and chairs!!
We're so glad your parents got their very own feline. Shadow is a beautiful house panther.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a wonderful match! Shadow looks utterly at home.
ReplyDeleteMy parents got a cat after we had all left home, and he was King of their Universe.
A brick wrapped in silk--ha ha! But seriously, she is beautiful and I see she is training her people well already.
