Meet Parker

Cowgirl Up 101 · 04-14-2006, 08:30 AM

I had posted a few weeks back that we had adopted a cat from the local humane society and he was very scared and had diareha. Well I took him to the vet, he had all kinds of things going on ... got him all of his meds and back home we went. The diareha cleared up but he still would not come out of the closet in the bathroom! Then it got much worse and he would scream all night and he would not eat. So I took him back after talking with the people at the humane society. We all figured that he needed to be back in a home with an older couple, no kids, no other pets. So they asked us if we wanted to try another cat, well of course the kiddos wanted to. So we came home with Parker! Or Mr. Parker as he is now called! And the other cat got adopted out that same day by an older couple and he is doing very well! So it was a happy ending for 2 kitties that day!

Anyway ... so here is Mr. Parker ...

A very handsome new addition to your family! Congrats

Ahh! A red tabby! Aw, I love red tabbies! I've never met one that wasn't a pleasant sort of soul, happy just to get along with the crew. MD's got one that I keep wanting to catnap and take home; I think I might just have to put yours on the list too. What a nice looking guy!

And hey, I have a cat named Parker too! Good name for a cat!

(And I'm glad the other guy found the right home. It was really nice of you to keep trying with him, but even nicer that you figured out what he really needed to be happy. Now everyone's happy, and Parker has a nice place to call home.)

What a handsome cat he is! Such a sweet face!

Congrats to your family and Parker- and to the other cat for finding a loving home!

Don't you just love his color? Congrats.

He looks pretty stressed out - are you treating him OK?

Pretty, pretty kitty! Looks well-adjusted already.

Lovely fellow -- no one can relax like a cat, eh?
