Well its been a long time since I have been around. Things here have been so crazy with work, family and animals over the past 6 months. I am still working (thank goodness). Family and kids are are all well and surving as well. There have been a few changes in critters. We still have Darhma , Lucky and the baby Tinkerbell. I also still have Franklin and crazy ole Igbo as well.
In late fall we had a nice 70* day or 2 and I opened the house up to air it out before the warm snap was over. Our dear 14 year old cat Kitty snuck outside while the door was open. She would sneak out quite often in the spring and summer when the screen would be left open and always returned 11-12 at night. This last time she never returned home to us. My family was divestated. Its been 2 months of checking the pond and hanging fliers. Still no Kitty. I have given up after 2 months of looking for her. My wife figuring out after Kitty being gone that she is a "Cat person". I kept telling her over the past 2 years that after kitty there would be no more cats in this household. Kitty was my cat. I am the one that wanted here wife not so much at the time. Well after her saying how much she missed her I broke down and went through craigslist scouring for an unusual kitten. My wife just loves this little girl. We have had her 2 weeks and I am already finding myself needing all this new "kitten stuff" that we didnt have any longer. I am wanting to build her a kitty tree. Found several online i like. Thats another topic in its self. haha
anyways I wanted to introduce you all to Dizzy aka Dizz

She is roughly 10wks or so. She was a rescue. The people we got her from said they rescued her from a guy going to kick her on the street. I love her coloring. So far she is doing well. She starts her first round of shots this next week. Will keep you updated on her and the rest of the farm.

Awwwwwww SO sorry to hear about your kitty! :(

It's heartbreaking not being able to know what happened to her. :rose2:

Dizz is beautiful! :vibes: What a gorgeous cat!

How is she getting along with the rest of the clan?

She gets along with everyone just great after a week.

My worry is the birds though. She is for ever stalking them and setting under there stands watching.
My birds pay her no mind because Kitty never had intrest in them. This isnt the case though with Dizzy. She keeps acting like she wants to get them. I yell at her ever time she goes i nto stalking mode.
Any suggestions on how to keep her from attacking large birds?

Uh oh! I would keep Dizzy in a separate room. You just can't change her instinct...so I would keep her in another part of the house when the birds are out. My cats are never allowed near mine...i keep him in a separate room. If he's out, the cats go in another room.

What a beautiful cat! Dizz has such unique markings with the orange, black and white hair. :nod:

Glad to see your post, Troy!
