Working On A Screen Name!
For now, I think we'll call him "Mini Meeze" but that could change. I've sent an inquiry to a Tonkinese breeder I know to see -
But he sure looks like a Champagne Tonk to me (scroll down on that link to Pendragon Johnny's Snow Angel to see the coloration). His points vary from a carmel brown/milk chocolate to a darker seal, and the eyes could be aqua. We'll see what she says.
Nonetheless, he's pretty much stolen my heart. The Meezer hasn't met him yet, and won't for probably several days. The vet thinks he might have just a sizeable touch of feral in him, and so that will take work to socialize him. (And believe me, had you seen him today at the vet, you'd have agreed! ALL FANGS AND CLAWS!)
I'm up to taming the feral, but it will not be good to have an old-fashioned cat fight here. So TM and MM will have to acquaint themselves under the office door!
More to come...stay tuned!

We had to socialize a couple of cats (one near-feral) through a screen door. (That poor screen.) It did work eventually, and they became very good friends because Nixie (the feral) knew that Cho Cho San (Siamese) was the Queen of All.
Oh, Unnamed Kitty. You have won the lottery! Congrats to you and your mom. Welcome home!
what a sweetie! i can see i have a lot of catching up to do with what's been going on.
i've taken in feral cats. if you need any advice, let me know!
He's so beautiful. He's bonded with you already and that's a good thing. Where did you find him? Do you know his story?
Ah! This answers my question. It sounds to me like you're making the right choice about the slow introduction to The Meezer. And he's just gorgeous -- lucky kitty, and lucky you!
He's beautiful.
I'm sure you can help him fit in just fine.
Beautiful new kitty! We have a half-feral cat we rescued. She never tamed as well as I'd like and now the Big Dog has made her stay away until we go to bed, even though she was raised with the last big dog. I hope yours tames really well. Meezer could use some company.
How wonderful for both of you - and Meezer too, even if she doesn't know it yet!
Good luck with your under-door socialization. Mini Meeze is a beautiful cat...such lovely coloration. I can see why he would win your heart. *happy hugs* :)
