My grandma a cat died in April she had him since he was a kitten (he was literally born in her house) about 7 years ago. Back in august she asked me to help her find another orange tabby. So I went to work searching for a reasonable priced kitten which is getting harder and harder to do as for some reason people like to post on craigslist and claim their kittens are very rare and one person even wanted $260 for an unvetted, flea infested kitten yeah that's not happening. Some people even tried to claim her kitten was very rare because it was an orange female so that apparently justified a $150 price tag never mind its never seen a vet and clearly had fleas and something wrong with its eye. I finally found a cat that was free (i would have been ok paying up to $50 for it but free is always better) but I had to drive 30minutes to get it which I'm OK with.I get the cat home and my grandma says "i think its too old" after saying she wanted a cat under 5 years old this cat is 3 years old so I told her it was 6 months because I am never going to find the perfect cat as she keeps changing her mind on what she wants one day she wants a kitten that's 8 weeks the next she wants a cat that's 2 years old. I have recently gone with her to see 8 different cats/kittens and she always changes her mind at the last second which is frustrating and since she accepted it when I told her he was 6 months I will tell her in February how old he really is. I can tell she already likes this cat and when I asked my niece what to name him since nobody liked the name he came with and he didn't seem to know it (his name was trucker) gram instantly named him jingles. And since my niece has never named anything (yes she has been given plenty of opportunities including my dog, her parakeets, a kitten a relative got, and the dog her dad bought her) after a few minutes even my niece started calling him jingles so the new orange tabby is named jingles and I no longer have to search craigslist for the perfect orange tabby I say win win.
