I had another great Sunday afternoon comforting, playing with and petting the kitties at the North Point Petsmart. We had 1 adoption while I was there, a girl named Missy. I found that a sweet cat I'd met last weekend named Amber was also adopted. I thought she was ready to go to a forever home when I met her last weekend. She just had that "feel". I'm glad she found someone!

This Sunday I met lots of other cats and as usual a few stood out to me.

Larson is about 2 years old and is a tabby with a white tummy and socks. He's FIV positive but is otherwise perfectly healthy. He would be great for an empty nester as he wants to be held and loved on all the time. He burrowed into my arms and purred at me the whole time I held him. He's such a love. People are afraid to adopt an FIV positive cat because of shortened life expectancy, but there is really no prrof that FIV kitties live shorter lives as long as they are in homes with people who love them and take them to the vet for regular check-ups.

Salem is an all black long lanky soft kitty. She's enjoys being petted and likes to play too. She will even entertain herself a lot of the time. We had in a cage with a round bed and she would nap for a while then get up and chase her mouse in the bed going around in circles. She stood out to me because she'll eat from your hand. I'd take a piece of food between my thumb and first finger and hold it out to her and she'd daintily take it from my fingers. She even ate out of the palm of my hand. My own babies won't eat from my hand!

And last but not least is Macon. She's a tabby with white socks like larson, but is smaller than he is. She was fun because she loves to have her tummy rubbed. She would roll over on her back and paw at the air to get you to pet her tummy more. Her other neat feature is that she was born without a tail! A nice lady was really considering adopting Macon. I hope the nice lady decides to take her home soon!
