We picked up an Ally Cat!!! Lots of Pics!

Wow what a lovely kitty! She sure is lucky to have found such a nice forever home 

They say that you don't really choose your cat, but the cat chooses you. That is, you can't force a cat to stay with you if they don't want to but if they choose you...you can't get rid of them .  She definitely chose you guys and the cats that choose you are usually the best

She choose us, thats for sure. And as it turns out, she is quite the talker. Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I always enjoy hearing animal success stories so I thought I would share ours.

Cats totally choose their people  I'm fortunate enough to have been picked by a snowshoe siamese.  When a kitty picks you, you just have no choice but to accept them into your life!

Good luck with the land lord.  If they've only been there once in two years, I think you'll be okay   And Athena fits her so perfectly!

Congrats and welcome to kitty servitude

We had no idea how to describe her coloring!  Calico with stripes?

She has blue, cream and white in her and the striped (mackerel) tabby pattern. I think the term 'blue torbie with white' would be the shortest 'correct' term used in US if the longer version is too long to remember.

Calico (which is only used in US) usually refers to a non-agouti cat (solid color cat, no pattern, has blotches of 3 colors: black/blue/chocolate/lilac/cinnamon/fawn, red/cream and white). Without white the coloring is called tortoiseshell (tortie). Torbie is a name for tortie tabbies in US (all of the colors mentioned with a tabby pattern).
