Parting Ways with Peter Medley

DSC_0187

Remember Fern Lyttleton? Well, Leslie, Fern's mom, has a friend named Jill. And Jill and her husband were on the hunt for a little friend for their one-year-old boy-kitty.

Jill contacted me during the LONG kitten drought we had earlier in the year, and then waited patiently for the Medleys to arrive.

On the day she came by for meet and greets, Peter was being his smart, bouncy, charming self so he quickly landed himself a new family.

Jill and Leslie came on Sunday to pick up Peter. Peter romped and played with the others while we completed the adoption paperwork.

And when we were all done, he fell asleep in his loving mother's hands.

I think the boy's pretty happy with his new mama. And I know his mama feels the same.

We're pretty happy too. Our little Peter-Pants found himself an awesome home.

  4. i'm glad that peter-pants is so comfy with forever mama. but, where is linus going? i wish he could come here (we need another Pacific Northwesterner here in the high desert of northern Utah!), but i don't think that would fly with mr. alpha cat. he's already ticked off at the kittens we have already.

  6. YEAH!! We are very glad he found a great home with an older brother (but looking at that last picture, he might have been faking the nap).

  11. Yay!!!I am so happy for Mr. Peter-Pants!

    Doesn't he look both still so itty bitty in his new mama's hands, and yet so grown up in the first picture!!

    And that "wink" in the last picture -- it's as if he's saying, "yeah... Linus might be floofy, sure, but I am awesome too and this lady knows quality kittenhood when she sees it!!"

  12. I believe the official IBKC term is "noodles" as previously exhibited by Francine and Rhoda Darling: http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com/2009/06/jennifer-and-opal-kitten-hypnotists.html

    So happy for Peter!

  13. I'm sure Peter had no problems landing a family. He's such a wonderful little flirt.

  14. Aww, it does make it (very slightly) easier to say goodbye when he looks so absolutely content in his new mama's lap.

    I'm really going to miss this little guy. I hope he's having a great time in his forever home.

  15. I am just green with envy of Peter's new family. He is one special kitten! It's obvious his new mama knows that, but I'm still going to miss him here. Even though more adorable babies will be along to once again capture our hearts, of course!
