I know you must be over the moon!

Congratulations on your new baby! =^..^=

And he's drinking coffee, OMG!

It might be the milk he’s attracted to, so going to get a jug of Lactaid next time I’m at the store. I used to freeze it in an ice cube tray for Leo and give him a cube once a week as a treat.

Congratulations that he adopted you! It takes a while for them to become accustomed to the new sounds, scents and rhythm of a new place. You can be sure he explores when you're sleeping.

His looks are very distinctive. He looks like he has a wonderful personality. I'm so happy for you both.

Orange males are very good-natured. I have one myself.

At a certain age or if they've been on their own outside, They eat and drink anything. I learned about SimpleHuman trash cans with my last outdoor rescues.

...Mugsy.

But my old childhood BFF had a black manx kitty named Mugsy when we lived together, so that name has already taken a space in my heart.

The nicest cat I ever had (no offense to my current gang) was an orange boy named Freddie, actually Frederick P. H___ II. If I had your boy he’d be Frederick III.

He is only the 2nd cat I’ve ever intentionally been like, “going out now to get a cat!” and chosen. All my others were blessed gifts from the Cat Distribution System. I was specifically hoping and looking for an orange guy- he’s my 4th and all have had “the Dude” as the last part of their name: Sammy the Dude, Leonides the Dude (Leo), and Ziggy Stardust the Dude. Orange guys are just so nice and sweet. They are such mellow little dudes! William the Dude sounds pretty good (but not finalized, he’s still coming out of his shell and letting me get to know him).

Glad he's settling in well. Take care.

He's beautiful! Good to hear he's such a sweetie.

How old is he?

P.S.--I like William.

Man, the county shelter is so much better than it was 25 years ago! It’s wonderful!

They estimated him at 1 yr when he was surrendered, but upped it to 3yrs after getting a good look during his neutering. Also found out from the surgery notes (!) that he had a testicle that didn’t descend so he had abdominal surgery to locate and remove it. I had figured his belly was just shaved from mat removal… he let me take a peek last night and his abdominal incision has healed nicely. And, he’s officially a certified badass because he has a little green tattoo on his belly (to mark that he’s neutered. Still badass).

are beautiful! Kind of remind me of a marble with beautiful color of streaks run through them.

and he's definitely feeling more confident! Yesterday he spent most of his time under the bed or in the closet.


Trying to get him used to music by playing it in the kitchen. So far, he's not a fan of guitar solos (too screechy, sorry Mssrs. Garcia, Gilmour, Anastasio, and Howe.)

He seems to like The Smiths, nice and mellow.

I had to give up my kitty when I moved into an apartment. She was adopted, so all is well with her. But I really miss having a kitty.

OTOH, I can leave food on the counter to thaw and my toilet paper doesn't get unraveled.

He is, and will contunue to be, an amazing little being!

By the way, I had a kitty who loved coffee. .with cream and sugar. I always had to have a cover over my coffee. A friend gave me a mug with the legend, "Yet another mug for my cat to drink from when I am not looking". One of my cats preferred to drink from her own mug rather than a bowl. My kuttehs were always a bit on the odd side.

Thank you for sharing him with us.
