I'll keep my ears open for a good indoor home for him.
Packy, I don't know much about her background at this point or whether she's going to end up here for sure, but I'll drive down to TN and get her if I have to. There's a long soap opera that I'll spare everyone, but I've known her present owner for about 10 years. It's not a Craigslist sort of deal. The kitty is about 4 months old and is fine. It's her owner that's having some major problems.
Yes, I'm reading that they're smart. I have experience with stubborn Siamese cats. I didn't know that about water. I thought the Turkish Van cats were the only ones who might do that.
Anyway, thanks! I'm encouraged . . . if this rehoming doesn't work out, I may look for a Maine Coon kitty. I've been looking for a Siamese mix, which hasn't worked out.
Added: calm around 5 kids? Oh, my! Thanks, LittleFish!
It never gets quite that wild around here, but that's good to know.
