View Full Version : Introducing Harley (several pics)
Mamacat August 2nd, 2004, 09:32 AM I thought I would introduce you all to Harley my newest little kitty :love:
Harley has been with us just about a month now...but how we got him is a sad story.
Harley's mom was a stray cat who ended up having kittens in our neighbors garage. She was a good mom and took care of her babies (she only had 2) the best she could. Our neighbor and I both would help with feeding mom. The weekend of July 4th I was driving down to my son's karate class and was soo sad to see that the poor mother cat had gotten hit on the road. All I could think about was those poor little kittens sitting in that garage waiting for mom to come back. They needed help! I managed to catch Harley later that afternoon but his sister was way too fast for me and the kids. My neighbor finally managed to catch her about 5 days later and she now has a good home with a friend of his and is named Emma.
It didn't take him long to get used to living in the house and it only took a day for Tigger (our middle cat) to decide that he really, really loved his new friend. He still gives him a little forced bath everyday....it's sooo cute to watch.
Here's Harley taking a little nap... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/mamacatwc/P7150092.jpg
Here he is playing with his favorite buddy.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/mamacatwc/P7060088.jpg
And after you play you always need another nap... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/mamacatwc/P7160094.jpg

Sally August 2nd, 2004, 10:30 AM oh my, htey really are adorable. i'm glad harley's found a loving home.... :flowers:
Faolin Ruadh August 2nd, 2004, 10:52 AM OMG they are sooo cute! I love kitties. Thanks so much for posting the pictures! I rarely see cats anymore now I'm in my new apartment. They are forbidden :(
It's so funny how they get along! When my mom took in two little stray kittens a couple years ago, the older cats would smack them if they got too close (we kept their nails trimmed, it's ok). Go figure.
Lexy August 2nd, 2004, 10:52 AM Oh they are too cute! Don't tell my husband, but I sometimes wish that fate would drop a kitten on our doorstep :wink: . I needed my kitty fix, thank you! :flower:
Angelicblaze August 2nd, 2004, 11:24 AM How cute! He's so sweet and fuzzy. :inlove: I think it's great he's found a loving home. I love the picture with the two of the kitties sleeping.
Mariah August 2nd, 2004, 11:33 AM I'm so glad they get along...and stray babies are often the best...what cuties!!!
TammySue August 2nd, 2004, 11:44 AM Awwwww how sweet! I love your kitties! :inlove:
We have 2 of our own; DH feeds 4 neighbor cats who come to visit us. Our place is a "cat hangout". LOL!
GnGirl August 2nd, 2004, 12:40 PM They are soooo cute! I would love to have a kitten but hubby says NO! But I can always come here to this site and look at all the pretty kitties. Thank you for sharing.
nastasska August 2nd, 2004, 01:29 PM He is just soooo gorgeous :inlove:
If my dogs find out about all the kitty ogling I've been doing lately I shudder to think what they'll do :scared:
LongRed August 2nd, 2004, 02:01 PM OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG, how cute!!!!

Teacherbear August 2nd, 2004, 04:41 PM OMG, I can hardly stand these adorable kitten pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I.want.a.kitty!!!!!!!!!!! (but no, I can't get one, now).
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, so adorable!!!!! And I'm so glad Middle Kitty loves the baby!!! Give all the kitties hugs and kisses for me!!
Mamacat August 3rd, 2004, 04:39 AM Faolin Ruadh: I was very worried about how they would get along when I brought Harley in. Tigger is so used to being king of the house that I thought he would HATE the idea of another kitty in here. (We do have an older cat also (Misty) but she needs to be seperated from all the other animals so she lives in our downstairs. She just doesn't like other animals and will be very mean to them - Tigger has a scar on his nose to prove this!) Tigger pouted for a day and then 'adopted' the kitty. I never dreamed he would be so sweet to Harley. He doesn't get even get upset when he's laying there relaxing and Harley comes along to jump on his head. Tigger is a very special kitty :love:
Mariah: You are soo right! Misty, our older cat, I got from a home for stray and abused cats. Tigger, our middle cat, was also a rescue kitty. He was just a kitten when we got him but his mom had him under a trailer in our neighborhood. They are both such sweeties (well, Misty is very sweet to people - not other cats and dogs) so I'm sure Harley will turn out wonderful.
Thanks to everyone - I will pass along your compliments (and hugs and chin scritches) to Harley. But, you know, I suspect he already knows he's pretty darn cute LOL.
Snowymoon August 3rd, 2004, 04:50 AM Awwww!!! They are so cute!!!!! :inlove:
chamogirl August 3rd, 2004, 06:46 AM I am glad this sad story ended happy - how adorable
Faolin Ruadh August 3rd, 2004, 07:03 AM It's funny... about rescuing cats. I am glad that people like you folks are around. It's really funny that my dad discouraged my mom and I from hanging out at the local animal shelter anymore because we kept bringing home cats who's time was up there. At one time, we had FIVE cats! We are both bleeding hearts :) It makes me happy to see other people who care so much for little animals :inlove:
Denise August 5th, 2004, 08:12 AM Awwww! :inlove:
Give them both kitty hugs!
Denise
Mamacat August 5th, 2004, 02:44 PM Awwww! :inlove:
Give them both kitty hugs!
Denise
LOL Now that is any easy request!! And Tigger really loves hugs and being held. If I'm standing still and (in his opinion) not doing anything he will run right up the front of me like I'm a tree so that I will hold him! Harley isn't quite so cuddly yet but then again he's only a couple months old and still pretty wiggly when he wants to play.
Meezer August 5th, 2004, 05:19 PM Hi Mamacat!
