Wow, nice cat shots. I should grab a few of our cat sometime...
Cat summoned to do jury service lol!

Slight update: the calico kitty ended up named "Mai Tai" and she's thriving. Got her fixed a few weeks back and she continues to grow. Still a complete love. She's well-behaved and very cuddly. The only cat I've had who seems to like everyone. We just passed her around at a family party (people she had never met before) and was just thrilled with the attention. Every other cat I've had has been picky about who they like. Not this one. Mai Tai is a great cat - I can't believe someone dumped her.
One funny thing - Mai Tai was upset with Scotty (the caretaker) I hired while I was on a cruise. Great guy who cares for the neighbor's dogs and works mostly with dogs. Now, Mai Tai does not like dogs, and I'm not sure why. When Scotty came over to meet her, Mai Tai fluffed up and hid under the car - it's because he smelled like a dog. She eventually warmed up to him, though.
And I might have another pretty quick. No photos yet, but in the same alley I found Mai Tai, a little long-haired grey tabby kitten showed up. White chest and socks, too. I brought her in and fed her, then she just clung to me. She has serious lapcat potential. My Dad is taking care of her down there, and we're triying to figure out who should keep her among four family households. I might take her in since everyone else has two cats and I have one. Mai Tai does well with other cats, too, so it wouldn't be a problem.
She will have a home - a cat this nice deserves one.
Are you in SoCal? I can get you a stray. There are several we're feeding down in Arizona that would like a home. I can't keep them all inside, but we do feed, pet and pay attention to them. We have been getting them fixed, too.
A few are skittish, but others are nice. One that could use a home is a long-haired black female, maybe one year old. She likes being petted and we got her fixed a couple months ago. Same with a short-hair golden tabby female around six months.
If you want one, let me know. I drive from LA to Arizona every few weeks and would be happy to deliver one. Same for anyone else who wants a cat in Arizona or LA.
My family has only had strays, save for a few shelter cats. My sister's cats are from shelters - the one in (I think) Long Beach has a room where they'll bring in cats and see how they get along with them. Worked out well since she has three kids. Both of their cats lit up around the kids and have been a good fit with their family. But most of our cats have just shown up, we fed them, then they "adopted" us. Funny how that works out. Mai Tai ticks off every quality I wanted in a cat, and she just wandered over to me.
