Merry Catmas!

♫ Fa-la-la-la-la ♫
♫ La-la-la-la! ♫



I hope you are all having a very Merry Catmas!

Look! Santa brought us a bathroom cat!



This is Charlotte. She is very shy and not used to other cats, so she has been in hiding in my mom's bathroom (specially outfitted with mismatched rugs and such, just in case) and bedroom. She has come out into the rest of the house for little bits of time but always retreats under the bed. So far all we know is that she is about seven years old and was left behind at the shelter because her other family moved.

Personally, I don't get that, but in any case she's here now. We're doing our best to not to scare her more and really hope she starts to feel more comfortable around us. I haven't even screamed at her yet!

  12. Merry Christmas to all of you! Please be especially nice to Charlotte for as long as you can. It is very hard to be left behind when you thought you had a forever family. It may take her a while to accept her new family. She is a very fortunate kitty to have you!

  18. Welcome beauty-full Charlotte. What a nice surprise to find you at a new home for Catmas!

    Boo and hiss to those who left you behind. You have found a good place to live. Full of love and toys.

    I spent lots of time in mum's bathroom and bedroom when I first got here. It all worked out.

    Love Ducky
