New Cat!

So Ryan and I got a new cat about 2-3weeks ago. I originally had wanted to get two kittens but the vet clinic didn't have any cats. They put us on a waiting list and call us to tell us they had a cat that was brought to them by animal control. She is about 2yrs old they say ( I think she might be 3-4yrs old), she's de-clawed, fixed and micro-chipped. It sounds like someone just didn't want to take her back to the states with them. She was supposed to be put down, so we decided to get her. We named her Mozart, keeping with the classical musicians (remember Beethoven), or Mo for short. She has been really shy and hiding under the couches and entertainment center, so I blocked them off and she goes under our bed now. But at least I can pet her there. She is so sweet, she just LOVES it when you scratch her head and belly, she also purrs really loud too (which I love). She has started to walk around if we're both just sitting around, but as soon as we get up she runs away. But she's doing a lot better. She has also started to play with her toy (that I know of), it's a string with a furry ball at the end, she first only played with the string and now the furry ball too. It's kind of weird playing with a cat with no front claws. It feel like I have to give up more when I play with her since it's not fair. She'll hook her from paw and hold on to it with her mouth.

She is almost completely black, except for under her stomach she has grayish hair. She is a long haired cat but she doesn't really shed that much. But since she was so shy and she won't let us hold her yet, we had her shaved. So she looks like a regular short haired cat for now.

This is where she hid when we first brought her home. It was in the closet in the second bedroom.

Now this is her under the bed. She was playing with her toy :)

Mozart has really big eyes and is really sweet. She has even started to wake me up at night sometimes wanting attention and she'll lay on the bed with us for awhile as long as I'm petting her. She likes to bury her head when you pet her.

One more of her under the bed. Sorry for the things hanging down. This shows her grey belly. I was scratching her and if you keep scratching her belly she'll roll onto her back and stretch out.
