As several of you know . . . our older cat Jersey passed away in January. Jersey was 16 years old and had used up many of her 9 lives over the years. Liver problems, eating issues, a Hyperthyroid and old age to name a few of her challenges. Her kidneys decided to retire at the end of January. As sad as it was to put her down . . . we new it was time. She was a good girl and I miss her.

This left our much younger cat Holly without a feline friend. We were informed by the local Humane Society that her brother was in foster care and would likely be available for adoption at the end of February. Last week we brought home Sidney. . . . Yes, as in "Sidney Crosby" for all you Canadian hockey fans :D. Sid the Kid scored the winning overtime goal for the Canadian Olympic Hockey Team. This active little guy will try his best to live up to his name sake.
Looks a lot like his sister ~ don't you think? Double Trouble I guess :D
He is 6 months younger though ~ same mother, different litter.

Their mother is available at the Ottawa Humane Society if anyone is interested in adopting her. She prefers a family without dogs . . . so we chose the brother instead.
As for my wonder pup Cider . . . she can't keep up with all this feline change. Big yawn!
Just let me know when everyone is settled in she says.

I am so sorry about the passing of your beloved kitty. Sidney is beautiful and will no doubt bring lots of fun (and trouble:) to the house. What a good and patient dog Cider is for putting up with both kitties.

I am so so sorry about Jersey. It's so hard to lose a pet. Syd looks so much like its sibling! Ubelieveable! Love their markings. Just beautiful cats. Cider is such a tolerant soul.... :)
