Cookie Cats

Okay, so, recently I've been really really really thinking about our kittens and their relatives. I want to know their new names. I want to know what they look like now. I want to know who adopted them. I want to have better pictures of their sisters, and any pictures of their brothers :(. I want to know what their father looked like, but there isn't any way that that could happen, so I'm not really focusing on that.

I have found their brothers names though (through tedious investigation).

Trefoil and Do-si-do. Also girl scout cookies. I only really saw their pictures once anyways. Mom and I were like "Awwww!" and we checked how old they were, and they had the same birthday as the previous two sets of kittens and we figured that was a random estimation and sort of dismissed it. The boys were bright orang-y gold, really super fluffy. Mom and Benjamin actually saw them being taken away in a cat carrier just as they arrived to meet our kittens for the first time.

The girls, Minty and Tagalong, were adopted the saturday after the tuesday when we adopted.

Here's the list of cats adopted in April:

I actually got to work with their mother, Cammie, in the Petsmart adoption center for several weeks afterwards. She was very sweet - I actually checked the furkids website the other day and she had been adopted! Aaaah!

Now I need to find out what happened to her too!

One of the things I did to try to find out more, was go to the Furkids website - under "Adopt a Cat" or something like that there was a little drop down menu with an option for "Happy Beginnings". In happy beginnings, cat adopters email furkids with pictures of their cats and talk about how happy they are together or whatever. Mom did send in a picture of Sasha and Maya in a fur ball, but apparently that wasn't really registered as a story/update thing.

I scanned through all the list, but none of the other Girl Scout Cookie Kittens had updates either. I considered sending in a thing with pictures and saying something like how sweet they are and what their new names are and how grateful I am and then sort of begging the other families to contact me. But a) that would sound kind of weird after having the kittens for four months and b) how likely is it that the other families would see that? I mean, they might wander across it in a few months like I did, but... it just doesn't seem that productive.

Mom and I have been talking about emailing our adoption agent to try to get the emails of the other families, but we're not sure if that's against some Furkids privacy policy or whatever. I mean, it can't hurt to ask, right? So far no progress on that front.

I really do want to know all about everyone! I wish that we could find the father, but that seems highly unlikely. Cammie and her kittens were found abandoned in a supply closet. The father was probably a stray. If he was found and taken to Furkids more recently, we wouldn't know it. There are such a large range of coloration in the kittens and their tabico mom, that he really could be anything. Any length of fur, any color, any face shape. Except probably not pure white. Not sure about eye color. Probably ranging between green and amber somewhere. Grr, so frustrating!

Anyways, at first I was just going to post the little portraits of each cookie-cats that I made together as just a little portfolio, but I felt I owed you guys more than that. Plus I wanted to explain why their brothers didn't have pictures.

So now you know.

Hopefully I can find out more!
