I'm in love!!

So, a little more than a week ago, justy213 and I went to the South LA Animal Shelter, where she adopted a beautiful little kitty. While we were there, "Bernard" caught my eye. He jumped up and started meowing as soon as we came into the room where he was kept. I went home but couldn't get the little guy out of my mind. Dave said we could get him and still I waffled back and forth.  I mean, holy hell!  I have twenty some birds, 2 cats, 2 dogs, a turtle and a goldfish.  But, of course, in the end I relented.  Here's my little guy:





He's so sweet and affectionate.  He's about 6 months and just 6 lbs.  The vet said he has a little belly already and to watch that I don't feed him too much.  Yeah, we'll see how I do with that.  :-)  Anyhow, his previous owner named him Bernard and I'm going to keep that name. Even though it sounds sort of ridiculous for such a little guy.  LOL

And just cause, here's some more kitties!

Aw, he is precious! There's a tiny, tiny stray that hangs around my dad's business; it's incredibly friendly and I was going to bring it home until I found out someone else had already laid claim to it. Sadness.

But Bernard looks like he's already enjoying your house a great deal. Lucky cat.

Thanks! It is so easy to get attached to little kitties, isn't it? I kept hoping that someone would adopt Bernard, but that wasn't happening. He was waiting for me, I guess. LOL

He is SO adorable!!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! He has this little pathetic meow that just melts your heart. &hearts

[bloody---reject.livejournal.com]

Awww, bless his soul he's adorable!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

:-) He's such a sweetie.

absolute YAY for new kibbens. I was also relieved to see that I'm not the only one in my flist to have a "zoo" :)! I can't walk into the pound, I'd bring all the kitties home.

congrats on your new addition!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL - yeah, I have quite the zoo. The hubby is quite confuzzled about all these critters. He doesn't know why I love them so much, but thank heavens he puts up with them. :-)

awwwww awwww awwww. Bernard is absolutely precious. He's really lucky to have found a home with you.

By the way, I absolutely adore that name.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! The name Bernard kinda cracks me up - it brings to mind St. Bernard dogs, but he's so tiny! LOL

Anyhow, thanks. I'm so glad to have the time and resources to have him in my life. &hearts

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

AWWW!! So cute!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He's my little boy. &hearts

[willow-m-w.livejournal.com]

Aw, he's so cute!

And now you can make him the star of a bajillion Lolcat pics!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL - yes, he will definitely be my little LOL cat! &hearts

[july-july-july.livejournal.com]

Kitteh! Give him a belly rub and some tuna for me, would you?

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Haha!! I sure will! Love your icon. That expression on Sam's face is priceless!!

[maychorian.livejournal.com]

Yay! What a sweet little guy! Pets really do make life better. (She says with four mice on her shoulders and a cat purring on her leg.)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

OMG!! 4 mice on your shoulder?? How cute!!! You'll have to have someone take a pic of you like that!

[kimmer1227.livejournal.com]

He already looks quite at home.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yup, he's taken over my office, that's for sure. I'm supposed to keep him quarantined from the other cats for 14 days. Yikes!! We'll see if we make it ....

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

OMG your new kitty is awesome!!!!!!!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He's sleeping on my lap now. &hearts

That is a really cute cat. It sounds like you have a lot of animals, good luck with one more, but for those that tug at your heartstrings like that, it's probably a good thing you didn't leave him this way you'll have a new adventure, and hopefully no regrets.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! Yes, I know what you mean about tugging on my heartstrings. My dog was the same way. We just had this connection - and she's been a great dog (although somewhat of a challenge!). :-)

[devidarkwolf.livejournal.com]

What a pretty little kitty! It would be a shame to ruin that pretty frame of his and overfeed him, though. :P

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! Yeah, I'll have to be good and feed him and my other cats right. It's hard because they are always SO interested in chowing down! Much like their owner, lol.

[irreparable.livejournal.com]

Awww, he is adorable!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He loves people so much that he hates to be alone for more than an hour or two. It's a good thing I'm home all the time right now. :-)

[inanna-ishtar.livejournal.com]

aaaww he's tiny and adorable

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! &hearts He's my precious (and hopefully not in a Golum sort of way, lol).

[sleepless3333.livejournal.com]

All kind of adorable - and I'm not even a cat person! *ggg*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! He is especially sweet. &hearts

[alchemise]

Awwwww, he is awesome! :D

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He's my little bundle of joy, lol.

[apieceofcake.livejournal.com]

Aww :-)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Kitties are love, aren't they? &hearts

[minniemax.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww!!! He's so sweet!! Congrats on the new kitty! (One can never have too much cats)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! He's such a character! He loves people soooooooo much. :-)

[xzombiexkittenx.livejournal.com]

Win.

Seriously, for the win.

Also, nine out of ten dentists believe the tenth dentist is an idiot.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Thanks!

[jaylan121.livejournal.com]

He's so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He is just perfect (except when he's clawing me, lol).

[lunaste.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwww, what a cutie! I just want to give him a big cathug.

(the last pic made me lol btw :') )

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! What would I do without LOLcats in my life?

[aewnaur.livejournal.com]

i just got flashes of 'The Rescuers' Bernard and Bianca (and i soo could be remembering that wrong.. lol).. yes the name is big for such a little guy but those little guys sure do have big hearts.. lol.. he is really an awwwwwsome kitty ..

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're right! Bernard was in The Rescuers, huh? LOL. He's something, that's for sure. &hearts

[crystalchain.livejournal.com]

Omg such a cute little guy ♥

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He's pure love. :-)

[toukie.livejournal.com]

awww he's beautiful. I love his name, because if you listen to a female in heat, it seems like she's saying "BERNAAAAAR BERNAAAAAAAAAR" lol so they are going to call for him by name.

I never go to shelters with friends because I know that I'm going to come out with one. I already have 3 cats, so... lol

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha!! That's true, huh? The females are all calling out for my little guy!
