So we might adopt a new kitty....

[WillParkinson]

Yeah, we have 3 cats and 3 dogs, but there's 2 kitties out at the shelter we are looking at. Paul will only let me have one (and that's after giving me the lecture and the look....)

This is Heidi (who would have to have her name changed because we have Heidi-dog.



And this is Oreo.



Help me make up my mind.

[Franzia]

1. It's impossible. They're both so cute!

I think "Hedi" might be just a little bit more adorable, though!

[TZ]

2. They are both cute.

But there is something really adorable about a kitty named "Oreo"...

[WillParkinson]

3. Great. 2 replies and each says something different.

You're no help at all. <hehe>

[TX Screwball]

4. Oreo looks like my Wendy.

[mnhtnbb]

5. I vote for Oreo. Looks like real personality in that pic.

Tough choice, though. Does either one prefer to be handled or shy from other animals?

[WillParkinson]

6. Originally it said they were both friendly and playful

But for some reason all the descriptions are gone.

[zanne]

7. They're both adorable; I think Oreo is a bit of a ham.

I'd go for Oreo.

[ceile]

8. How can you choose?

Both are very cute. I guess you'll have to look at their personalities and judge which one would be a better fit for your family.

9. i have a black and white at home and a tortoise shell -- get both ! :) n/t

[WillParkinson]

14. Wish I could...

But we have a smallish house and already have 3 dogs and 3 cats. Even a 4th one is kind of pushing it.

Though if we can't come to an agreement on just one I might have to put on the puppy-dog pout.

10. Oreo

He looks like Batman and that's never a bad thing.

[WillParkinson]

11. But I'm afraid he might eat too much...

And become Double-Stuffed. :-)

[Lorien]

27. A common trait

among tuxedos:



:-P

[applegrove]

12. I can't decide.

[WillParkinson]

13. Don't feel bad...

Paul and I are split on it, too. He likes Oreo. I like Heidi.

[DeepBlueC]

15. So you get one kitten...each

:)

[WillParkinson]

18. But then we'd have 5...

We would have to get a 6th just to even it out. hehe

[auntAgonist]

16. I have the answer ......

start practicing puppy-dog pout

so you get both :shrug:

you'll never regret it.


:hug: for whatever decision you're able to make as a family.

You'll do the right thing.

17. If I were Paul, I'm more likely respond to both the carrot & the stick...

...if you know what I mean. ;)

[Throckmorton]

19. Oreo

But I would change his name to Domino, and walk around singing "OooooooH Domino"!

[WillParkinson]

20. HAHA

Cat, my original kitty who lived to a ripe old age of 17, used to bite my leg if I sang. I don't want to go through that again.

[radfringe]

21. best to see which one PICKS you... n/t

[liberalstudent23]

22. Get them both!!

I've been dying to get a kitty but I'm moving soon so I'd rather wait till the move is over.

[WillParkinson]

24. Talk to Paul...

He says no.

[Lorien]

23. Which one has been at the shelter longer?

I had to go through the same decision recently, but when the volunteers at the shelter told me that one kitten was new and the other had been there two months already, that made up my mind for me!

[WillParkinson]

25. Both about the same time, but...

Both too long.

[Lorien]

26. Well, does the shelter have other cats that are the same colors as those two?

If they have a lot of torties and calicos, then I'd go for the girl. If they have a lot of tuxedos, then I'd go for the boy. You might also ask the volunteers which kitty has had more interest from other prospective "parents". I'm guessing that from the responses here, Oreo has a better chance of finding a good home with someone else. Do you have a "gut feeling" about either one?

[WillParkinson]

29. Haven't met them yet...

The shelter is about 4.5 hours away from us. We're going up on Saturday to do our annual anniversary visit.

I talked with them today and they heaped praise on both kitties.

[Lorien]

31. Once you meet them, you'll just know

and it may be neither one-there could be a third one there who just "speaks" to you! :-)

[WillParkinson]

32. Egads, I hope not...

I might have to leave Paul in Michigan.

[rurallib]

28. can Paul be replaced? he just doesn't understand.

[WillParkinson]

30. By a potted plant...

Which is far more useful.

(But don't tell him I said that.)

[NV Whino]

33. Trade in Paul for the second kitty.

[WillParkinson]

34. I like the way you think....

I had that same thought myself.
