Looking to adopt a cat

Lost two cats to old age over the past couple of years; Smokey, a Russian Blue tabby cross and Tyger, a brown/black Tabby.

Smokey was a feisty cat, who loved a good wrestle and terrorized the house with random attacks. Tyger was a huge old Tom. The dogs didn't know what to make of him 'cause he outweighed them and refused to be chased so they made him an honorary dog including frequent baths, which he seemed to enjoy.

Humane Society cats

I've met Foster and he reminds me of old Smokey. Smokey looks like old Smokey. Had a staring contest with Coach and he won. Tin man looks a lot like Tyger.

Smokey has a history of housesoiling. There is no apparent medical cause for the concern so it is likely behavioral. As an indoor home is not possible, a sheltered barn or other outbuilding with access to the outdoors would be required.

Go meet them all, I think. I've always been partial to cats that act dog-like. That seems to include a lot of orange tabbies for some reason. My past two dogs have been blue merle Aussies crossed with either Border Collie or lab, so that must make me also very partial to cats that are seal point Siamese/tabby mixes. I love the coloring that results.

But one of those cats will "speak" to you, for sure. Go visit.

They couldn't find TinMan, I took advice about Smokey and I sat for an hour with Coach and we just didn't click. It took awhile for Foster to warm up to me but eventually he purred and deigned to sit in my lap and then wanted to play-fight. He sleeps next to my pillow at night and puts up with the dogs licking him.
