This was our new kitty Phoenix. What a sweet cat (to humans, not other animals, unfortunately). He would totally curl up on our lap. He would even let Lincoln come up to him and pet him. Oh! Was he hilarious with the scratching post and catnip! So funny. He would totally get all cooky and roll around. I have always wanted an orange cat, so I was quite excited. Unfortunately, though, he couldn't handle sharing the house with another cat. There were several instances where he just let loose on Romeo and attacked him with all his might. It was really quite scary. Jon and I got really mad at him and explained to him that eventhough he was a sweetheart to us, that Romeo is our dear cat and if he can't live with Roo, then he's gotta find another home. Of course, he understood exactly what we were saying. So, in three short weeks we dropped a ton of money, experienced what it's like to have a very affectionate cat, and then returned him to the Humane Society. What an experience. We definitely learned a lot: like get a kitten, not a teenager if you're going for cat #2. I hope he finds a good home with no animals.

Hi! Dorsey, Jon, and Lincoln. Lincoln is looking like a little boy rather than a baby. He is a lucky child to have two loving parents.

Orange cats tend to be more aggressive than other cats. Also when you want to introduce a new cat one way is to leave the new one locked in a room where he/she can and the old cat can smell each other but not see eachother. Give both of them, especially the old cat attention. After a week slowly and carefully introduce them to eachother. It doesn't always work because cats pretty much do what they want to. Congratulations for being good cat parents also.

How do you like Indiana?

I'm sorry Phoenix didn't work out! That's too bad!
