Introducing Lily

[iemanja]

Thanks to everyone who suggested names and thank you to my fellow Minnesotan Ocelot II for suggesting Lily as a name.

She's been a sweet cat, though on the naughty side. She loves to cuddle and be pet, and she already caught a mouse!
She also loves to knock things off tables, especially the remote control, and today she got my glasses! Twice she has busted into the big bag of cat food, but I just got an airtight container that I hope will keep her out. Her foster mom let her free feed because she's food insecure, but she was eating an enormous amount. I don't want her to get severely overweight, so I've been feeding her on a schedule, which doesn't make her happy. If anyone has suggestions for any of the above, I'd love to hear them.

1. Very handsome kitty. Reminds me of George McGovern's KC.

2. Hi Lily!

What a beautiful cat who's sure to keep you on your toes! I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way. I know I wouldn't.

I love her distinctive stripes. She looks like she's contemplating her next move in that photo. Here's to a long, happy life of togetherness for the two of you!

4. Congratulations Iemanja,

Do you have other cats? Other pets? If not, let he acclimate and then maybe leave a small bowl of dry after she eats and goes for a nap. She may learn to trust good to be there.
She's gorgeous and may you build many special memories together.

Thank you for the well wishes.

6. Looks like Lily is in charge. That's a 'take no prisoners' look.

She is distinctively gorgeous.

8. My vet told me to feed only wet food.

Cats could eat as much as they want and not get overweight. In over 25 years of fostering, he was wrong only once. Leo really bulked up eating 5 6oz cans a day. He came to me malnourished and I cut back a can or 2 before he ballooned up badly.

10. Wet food? Really

She has some, but it's not her everyday food.
