Thank you for all the cute suggestions and stories about your babies. Last night the name Chester came to me and got a 2nd vote from hubby. I couldn't get him to hold still for a good picture.[ATTACH=CONFIG]426648[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]426649[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]426651[/ATTACH]
The second pic is Sam getting between Chester and Patches, who follows him around and hisses at him.
When I first brought him home he acted indifferent and ignored us, making himself right at home. Later in the evening he decided to get on the couch and play with hubby. When I came in and sat in my chair he jumped over and started rubbing and purring like crazy and finally slept on my lap. Looks like I got my lover that I wanted.
Our SPCA in Cincinnati is wonderful. They spay and neuter and microchip every dog and cat that comes in to their facility, give them their first shots and a through check over. It was only $10 to adopt Chester and dogs are $20. You can't beat that. When I got to the mobile unit to check out the kittens, he was the only one left and all but 2 of the dogs had gotten adopted. I think that was great. I think God saved Chester for me.

We had a cat named Chester who lived for about 13 years. Best mouser ever, and we needed his skills in this old house! Of course he was named for our town. Hope your little one lives a long, happy life too!

He is gorgeous, and and your are an angel for rescuing an animal from the human society. The human society is smart is adopting out the kitties for only $10, finding them good homes, vs. the ugly option. We love, love, love rescue operations such as your humane society with which you have elected to affiliate. My husband and I work very diligently with rescues, and it seems that those with the least, do the most--identifying pets that are adoptable, finding a way to save them from their most likely future at the pound. Unfortunately some states allow indiscriminate pet breeding. My state, Tennessee; as well as PA, MO, IA, and WI come to mind. We work with other wonderful folks to transport animals from these areas---really mostly TN ;to relocate them to states which have better breeding laws, and need/appreciate pets (I speak of dogs). With so many domestic animals having to be euthanized every day, it is just plain sad that puppy mills exist. I applaud the policies of the northeastern states, as they seem to have placed a value on pets; and have controlled the pet population in their areas.

When I see a sign that says: "Free Kittens," I immediately translate it to read, "I'm too @#!~@$ stupid to spay my cat, and society (Not me) will take care of this problem for me.

...But back on track and onto your wonderful new addition.... Chester is soooo beautiful. He will be loved...as will you; in a feline sort of way.

...Congratulations! Remember to celebrate this date/anniversary! Thanks for sharing!!!

Awe! Chester is too cute! I always made my cats let me hold them like a newborn baby, they don't always like it at first, but if you just talk to them, and start gently rubbing their tummies.....they calm right down, and love it! Love that name, he looks like a Chester!

Awww!!!! cute!!! I have been blessed to get two purebred dogs for free,because the owners couldnt care for them and wanted a good loving home. I have a Chihuahua and the new Yorkie. They are my babies now that all the kids are grown and don't see the grands as often as I'd like.
