Sterling

August 15, 2011

Denise says: You've already met Sterling's sister and I promised photos of Sterling when he was done with deworming and out of quarantine. He is the classic silver tabby I've always wanted. A year ago when the local shelter put down the one I'd requested to adopt (and the mother and littermates along with more than I want to mention). I finally found him on Craigslist, one of five kittens from a stray that some people found and rescued.

Sterling and Smudge are fine, and he's the only one fine with Rocky the Bengal. The bunnies are tolerating him more than they have anyone else, especially Lucky who terrorizes all the other cats. Ebony is starting to come around for him. BG, Ranger, Sherlock, Merlin, and Gypsy are put off by his super activity, but no one fights so it should all work out. Ironically, just before I found him I found a silver marbled tabby British shorthair… $1,200 for a pet with a neuter/spay agreement. I freaked at the price but I would have done it anyway. Thank goodness I found Sterling in time because he's wonderful. He loves to snuggle with me and is on my lap all the time.

Sterling is laughing? What a doll! He has a beautiful coat. You certainly have a houseful of delightful kitties. I remember BG, especially.

When I visited the veterinary hospital, the doctor had a silver tabby that she doted on. Many times I deliberately walked that way to see him sleeping in the window.

Very cute photo of Sterling and Smudge cuddling together. Glad that you got the silver tabby that you wanted. $1,200.00 seems a bit steep for a cattie to me too. You really have a full house of catties. Good for you. Sterling is adorable!
