Expanding the Family

On Saturday, September 25, 2010 my wife and I expanded our family.  We adopted two cats from the from the Stockton Animal Friends Shelter.  We adopted an Orange Tabby, creatively named Oragne by the shelter and a Brown Tabby named Ray.  We first met the pair on the previous Wednesday when we visited the shelter.  We went back on Saturday to adopt Orange since he really called to both Melissa and me.  We decided to adopt Ray as well since they were both in the same cage and seemed to get along.  We adopted Ray as a trail.  We wanted to see if the two cats would get along and see if he would be happy in our home.

So far things are going well.  We are still in a transition time as we are getting used to both cats and they are getting used to us.  Melissa and I do plan on renaming the cats to something more appropriate.  We are going to observe them for another day or so to really get to know their personalities before naming them.

Melissa and I are excited about adopting both cats.  The house has felt empty since Fozzie died and the whole situation feels right.  I am hopeful that both cats will be happy in their new home and right now it seem as if everything will work out.
