Friday's Fotos - Meet Miss Casey

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Centre Inc., Brokerage

There are lots of cat lovers on Active Rain.  I know that well as I've seen lots of great feline fotos over the past three years.  Some of you have met my dog Lola as she has been featured in an occasional post accompanying me on a hike or out exploring backroads Ontario.

We have never had a cat as my husband suffers from allergies and his eyes usually water and he begins sniffing shortly after coming in contact with the little critters.

Recently our 20 year old daughter became the proud owner of a kitten.  She is at College in a different city so isn't living at home.  We cautioned her about the care and commitment required to be a pet owner.  Not to mention the cost of food, vet bills, etc.  She wanted a male kitten after being told it is cheaper to neuter than to spay an animal.

She happily brought home her "male" kitten and the name game began.  Even I contributed a few, but none to her liking.  Finally her little fluffball tabby had a name.  Casey.

The day came for my daughter to take Casey for his first vet checkup and needles.  Surprise, surprise, Casey turned out to be female.  Would a name change accompany the sex change?  Nope, male or female, Casey it is.

My daughter and Casey came for a visit last week and Casey made herself at home.  I think she explored every square inch of this house.  And my husband was away so we didn't have to be on allergy alert.  Of course I just had to grab my camera to catch Casey in action. 

Lola didn't know what to make of Casey and Casey certainly wasn't fearful of Lola.  I could almost be talked in to getting a Casey myself,  except for my husband's allergies. 

They have medication for allergies - don't they?

Jenny,

What a nice set of photos. Love the kitten. I love cats, and I do have one, and mine is male, but we got him when he was already 8 years old.

thank you

Hi Jenny... as an allergy sufferer, I have to offer that as cute as Casey is, I am siding with your husband on this one.  And I still love Lola!

Hey Jenny - Lola appears in your photos more than "occasionally" and I think she is having a staring contest with me, eh?  I guess we will be seeing cute Casey from time to time.

Hello Jenny, your daughter is a real cutie just like her mom!!!  By the way I agree with your salad dressing comment on my post...it was a little too much, but I was hungry, so the more the better!

Hi Jon, wow that was nice of you to adopt an adult cat.  One thing about cats is that they live long lives. 

Hi Steve, I know my husband would have loved to hold Casey but it would have been a big mistake.  Whenever we go into someone's house who has a cat he starts suffering right away.  I'm sure you can attest to that.

Hi Deborah, I don't know what Casey would do if my daughter let her go outside.  I sent her home on the bus last week and Casey wasn't too happy being in a cat cage. 

Thanks Gary, I couldn't resist taking some shots of her.  Such a cutie.
