Rocky's Debut

I was watching a show today about Key West and Hemingway and they showed some of the Hemingway 6 toe Cats. Amazing history, Rocky is descended from famous felines! One looked just like him. Having the 2 eye color as well as the toes makes him one of the rare ones.
He may be less vocal once he is settled in and the ranking has been established.

Yes, I think it is a good time to start a new thread. No offense, Phx Ryan :-) I may want to consider increasing my Molto Bello to the max of 3 bulbs in order to reach the discounted price level of USD2.20. Any takers for the other 2 bulbs so that we can reach 5 bulbs? One more thing, how could any of you miss the high bloom numbers of Little Star? At the Hadeco website, this cultivar is stated to produce an average of 7 blooms per scape! Good for Hippeastrum hybriders out there! Hatta

Steve, Your Little Guy is SO cute! WOW! 9+ pounds! I have eight and my biggest was just over 8 pounds, to me, THAT was BIG! Tell Mom I am proud of her! :-) Make sure to pamper her well the next few weeks. Most of mine were between 5-7 pounds. #5 was premie just shy of 4 pounds, and did not give any warning she was going to make her debute until 10 seconds she was born! Not much time to find a private place for her to make a grand entrance! Thankfully there was NO pain at all~none! and she was perfectly healthy and breathed on her own from the start. Her birth was easy.... TOO easy. Kind of scary to think I could have been driving on the freeway, in a plane, or giving a talk in Church or... well for a while people were coming up with all kinds of interesting scenarios! LOL It is nice that each child has their own birth story since no two births are the same... even for twins. I hope that your little guy enjoys hearing his story as much as some of mine do.

Vaporvac, I would love it if you could come. But there aren't any other rose aficionados there. I brought Oranges N Lemons and Sally Holmes last year and there weren't really any takers. The Oranges N Lemons went in the free for all at the end where you just grab whats left but I brought the Sally Holmes home. This year I didn't bring the Gourmet Popcorn I gave away because we hadn't dug it up yet. Instead I advertised it on Nextdoor so someone could research it and really want it. If I thought there would be any interest we would have made more of an effort to get it dug up. In terms of timing they are decided upon a few weeks in advance based on the schedule of the person volunteering to host. BTW, my other Oranges N Lemons I tried to propagate died over the winter in our basement but the Sally Holmes appears to have hung on. It showed a small amount of new growth this spring but is back in the basement due to bad weather. I don't yet know where I will put it if I keep it. The Oranges N Lemons in the yard showed great new growth a month ago but then got badly shredded by the hail. Right now it is looking iffy if it makes it with barely any green on it's little stub of a self. I think if it doesn't I won't replace it with another. We just have bad juju with that rose. First it gets run over with a garden cart the same day it goes in the ground, then the rooting portion dies due to neglect when my mom forgot to water the basement plants while we were on vacation. And now it gets hammered by hail.

So cute, and so glad to read they are all getting along!! And Rocky looks right at home. :o)
Looking at the pics, it occurred to me Rocky looks like our Lito (minus the extra toes) and Peachy looks like our Pumpkin.

Rocky is gorgeous and you'll get used to him chatting you up, Susan, it's just all so new!

He looks like our Beeswax and Peachy looks like our Bizbee. Congrats on a good transition.

I had an orange cat named Louie, and he was very bold and noisy. Very demanding and general pain in the butt sometimes. If you were reading the paper, he'd lay on it, if his food was getting low , he'd meow till more was added. He died a few years ago, and I still miss him. I think strong personalities are a trait of orange boys(and yes, most orange cats are male)

Love your Rocky! My orange tiger stripe guy was named Charly (after Cliff Robertson in the movie) and he was a pain in the butt too. Guess its their coloring! He was a tiny baby found wandering on a busy street. I fed him with a doll bottle until he told me in a day or two in no uncertain terms that he wanted real food. As soon as he could jump up, he jumped onto the kitchen counter and stole a fish filet that was defrosting and dragged it to the floor and went spread eagled over it and hissed up at me when I tried to take it from him. He was the boss.

He looks like our neighbor's cat who is also nosey, LOUD and chatty, and very friendly. When I don't see him for awhile, I miss him.

My orange boy was Garfield and he was such a character there will never be another he was cut from a very original pattern. He was a very big part of my life and I miss him every single day. He lived with us for 21 wonderful years. I found him climbing the window screen on my back porch as a itty bitty baby he had escaped from a huge snake that was , unknown to us, living in the wrapped up solar blanket on the porch. The snake had the kitten, the kitten fought for it's life and escaped and climbed up that screen screaming it's little lungs out. I heard him from in the house and ran out. That snake was enormous. The snake went bye bye and the kitten came in to live with us. He loved our Great Danes and they loved him. He owns a special part of my heart.
Those orange ones are special!

He is so gorgeous! I agree about the strong personalities....those are the cats I like the best. I prefer male cats for that reason. They just seem more personable.

My daughter recently had to have her cat of 15 years put down. They are waiting to get another kitten, but want an orange one, for the reason that they do seem to have great personalities.

I think Rocky is a very handsome boy and I'm glad he gets along with the other cats. I would like to have another cat, but I'm afraid of the conflicts that might cause, so have only one for now. I am very much a cat person.
