What does “kinda, sorta” mean, you ask? Well, I was kinda, sorta fibbing about today being Foster Friday with Lion. And it’s a two-part fib! Here’s why!
So yes, we still have foster cat Lion right now. But…we’re not letting him go! That’s right! He’s joining the Three Chatty Cats household! We don’t officially adopt him until later this weekend (when we are able to make it back to the shelter), so today is still technically a Foster Friday.
What’s the second sorta fib of “Foster Friday with Lion?” He will no longer be known as Lion. His new name is Woodrow!
While we did call him Lion for a good two weeks or so when we brought him home in June, as soon as we had an inkling that we may keep him, we started thinking of new names. We went through so many, even trying one out for a couple days. But we settled on Woodrow and knew it was him as soon as we said it. And to be honest, I think he likes it. :-)
So, if all goes well this weekend at the shelter, Woodrow should officially be ours. Paws crossed!
I’ll have more on Woodrow later. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing since adding the new furry member to the household, but everyone is doing well overall. And I’d say that Woodrow looks happy about staying here, don’t you think?

Pssst…did you see our video on Facebook of Lion, er, I mean Woodrow and Dexter? Yawning is contagious! And in case you can’t tell them apart yet, Dexter is on the right. (But Dexter will only allow you to make that mistake once.)
Nice
I love foster fails! Had one myself a while back. I hadn’t really agreed to foster. My girlfriend found a cat (age approx. 3 to 6 months old) in her back yard yelling (he was hungry). She’s allergic so she boxed him up to go to the shelter. She made a fateful stop at my house to show me her find and the rest was history. There was no way that sweet thing (he really wasn’t a sweet thing but we loved him anyway) was going to the shelter.
Lucky for the kitty that she stopped at your house then!
Yes it was. Jake turned out to be a large (tall and length, not fat) cat with a mind of his own. He never would have survived on his own at the beginning. Eventually he became an expert hunter but he also enjoyed the good meals he got inside. He passed at age 18.
Well, *that* (foster fail) didn’t take long. :-D He looks exactly like a “Woodrow”! Are you changing the name of the blog? ;-)
We thought so too! No, Three Chatty Cats will be sticking around. (Woodrow is only chatty at mealtime.)
Congratulations Lion AKA Woodrow, you won the lottery! Now, is it going to be Four Fabulous Felines Forthcoming???
Catchy, I like it!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations on adding Woodrow to the family! Can we call him Woody? HAHA He’s adorable and looks like he’s fitting RIGHT IN! YAY!
Love, Teddy
Funny enough, we tried out Woody first and it just didn’t work. But you can call him whatever you want, Teddy! I’ve been known to slip and call him Woody (and Lion!).
Congrats to you and Woodrow too! Nothing beats a good foster failure!
Yay, for Woodrow and for you! :::doing the happy dance::: Anytime a new cat comes into a furrever home, I am tickled pink! Three, four…eight chatty cats; who’s counting?
Concatulations! Is this the end of fostering or are you going to adopt I mean foster some others. Concats to Woodrow too for working his way deep into your hearts. Now you have to change your blog name.
Thank you! Yes, we’re going to keep fostering. :-)
YAY!! Welcome home Woodrow!

Congratulations! Who knows … Sophie might have a partner in crime … I love how similar he and Dexter look … 100% handsomeness!
Congrats that’s great! And lucky for Woodrow! Looking forward to learning more about this cutie pie.
That’s pawsome! Welcome Woodrow! It’s going to be tough telling Woodrow and Dexter apart. ;)
Squeee that is SO fantastic…I’m just thrilled for all of you. Woodrow sure hit the jackpot! (Um…when does the blog become Four Chatty Cats???) That video is adorable *yawn*
