A couple photos of Ashley at 10 weeks...

[joeybee12]

Haven't taken any photos recently...these are from this weekend...he's looking like a small cat now as opposed to a kitten. He won't sit still and gets into everything, of course...when I want to keep him occupied I start swinging this rope I have tied to the stove or throw some fake mice down the hallway...I need to clean this weekend because he has hidden about a dozen throughout the place!

1. He's beautiful....

Whatever happened with the....other person?

[joeybee12]

2. Thanks...It abruptly ended...she called the clinic where we both volunteer

Telling them she needed their help in getting "her" cat back and they told her it wasn't her cat and to leave me alone.

3. Awesome!

Grats Ashley on the new home.

10. I'm so happy to hear that it all worked out...

wishing Ashley a long, happy and healthy life with you. I'm glad you stuck to your guns with this nut-she had no claim on the cat to begin with.

[joeybee12]

15. Thanks...and after more people knew about it and who knew the crazy lady...

They said it was very good I kept him...she really doesn't know how to care for cats and keeps collecting them.

[virgdem]

23. She sounds like a classic animal hoarder...

you saved Ashley from a very uncertain fate. Animals that are kept by hoarders/collectors often end up having to be euthanized due to not being socialized and are severely neglected. You did a very good thing for Ashley.

24. Yeah, something about the way she was acting to try and get him

got me concerned, and I'm glad that it did! He really is a sweet, affectionate boy and deserves the attention he gets from me, fi not from my other cats!

4. How cute.

May you both have a long & happy life together.

[joeybee12]

5. Thanks...and now I'm looking at the second photo and his position

makes him look really fat! He isn't, but he does have a little tummy because he eats and eats and eats!

6. the awesomeness will never end. :) Lucky, you.

[joeybee12]

7. Yup...it's fun to have a happy active kitten around...

9. Gorgeous fur! Appealing eyes!

[WillParkinson]

12. Um...Yardwork...

Are you talking about Ashley or JoeyBee? (Just curious.)

[yardwork]

13. LOL! I haven't seen a photo of JoeyBee, but I will say that pets tend to resemble their owners....

[joeybee12]

16. Maybe just the gray hair these days!!!!

But I can easily make that resemblance go away!

11. Awwww, he's so adorable.

:)

[joeybee12]

17. He is...a sweet little fur ball...

Who happens to get into everything!!!

[HockeyMom]

14. He looks like my Spice

who we adopted from a rescue shelter with his litter mate sister at 3 months. They are now a year old. Spice was the runt of the litter and his mother refused to nurse him. The shelter people bottle fed him. Today is he bigger, and more active, than his sister Sugar. He is a nutcase and goes flying through the air jumping on top of the kitchen cabinets.

Ashley is adorable.

[joeybee12]

18. Thanks...

Maybe Ashley is related to Spice...gets into everything also and likes to fly at tings...no Christmas tree this year!

[William769]

19. Spread the sweetness.

[joeybee12]

22. I should post the one I have of him sleeping...

I can't imagine he's comfortable in the position he got himself into!

[Rowdyboy]

20. You have no idea how glad I am the story had a happy ending....

Now I have a six month old orange kitty of my own and can empathize!

[joeybee12]

21. Aww...is he driving you crazy like Ashley is to me,...but in a good way?

He's at that age when he gets into everything and he is adorable while doing it!
