Oppo, allow me to present to you Griswold. He was brought into the cat shelter at which we volunteer last Aug/Sep at the age of 1-2 months. Shortly thereafter another batch of kittens they brought in also brought in a serious bout of ringworm. So, after many months of waiting and visiting, deep cleans, meds and dips, the ringworm was officially eradicated and we were able to bring him home Sunday. We were in Minneapolis this weekend, upon returning home we drove straight to the shelter to finalize everything and pick him up. He is the most affectionate animal (not just cat) I’ve ever met - for now. I think he always will be very affectionate, he always has been, but once the excitement of going home wears off I think his affection will mellow a bit.

He made friends with our Bostons pretty quick

He and our 2 year old cat, Bowie, have briefly met - there were a few growls and hisses, but mostly they left each other alone. Our older cat, Sally, is very upset and it’s going to be a while longer of site-swapping and gradual introductions, but all indications are it will be fine (because so far - this is the same routine she put on when we brought Bowie home) .

Any Chicagoland Oppos thinking of a cat? Check out !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . They have a lot more cats available than the ones on their petfinder page. Including kittens.

This is the 3rd cat, 5th pet (not including a goldfish). This is it for a while.

Once he gets really comfortable in your house, Griswold will kill you in your sleep.

Nah, that’s going to be Sally, our older cat, for the crime of adopting yet another cat.

I’m impressed by your ability to get a cat  adjusted to a collar. I tried one on my cat once and, despite being well-fitted around his neck, he managed to get his bottom teeth in it and then got stuck and panicked trying to free himself.   No more collars

Ours have had no issues at all. After we’d get it on them the first time, they’d play with the tags/bell a little bit, but then they’d forget all about it.
