Miss Zola has Van cat markings! She actually looks a bit like Iris. I will have to post pictures on my blog of the other flower girls so that you can see. And really, what else could you be doing that could be remotely more important than tending to her every amusement? I do love a kitten but I must confess, I love a cat even more. They don’t move through the world with all those claws and sharp kitten teeth!
too adorable. my little foundling turned from a tiny ball of gray fluff about that size, into a 17 pound furniture destroying monster- but i wouldn’t have it any other way!
my advice? anything you really love that is glass or ceramic, put into a locked cabinet for the next 18 months- there is nowhere they can’t get into, and nothing that they can’t knock over.
Congratulations! I agree with Betsy, a cat is much more interesting than a kitten and less razor sharp claws. I did foster some kittens earlier this year, though, and it was a super fun month for me. They are hilarious. Enjoy.
this little kitty cat was sent to you to remind you to have fun in your life. there’s nothing like an animal to take your mind off of life’s trials and tribulations. enjoy!
p.s. watch out for your drapes – they love to climb!
Such a love….I’m all teary! Am I crazy or what? LOL
It’s a race at my house at night between my cat and dog to see who gets to snuggle the front of me and who has to snuggle under my butt. Of course I don’t move all night long because I don’t want to disturb them. haa…there I am with a cramp, but as long as I don’t move and bother the pets….
hey guys! liz and i both have been really indulging ourselves in her, or is it him? we still don’t know and come up with new a name every 10 seconds. i’ve GOT to get some work done, here she comes!
I love your new little baby. I love kitties! I have rescued my fair share. They bring so much joy into my life. My me cat boobie cat–he likes to watch me shower– was little he would sleep right on my pillow next to my head so I could hear him purring in my ear in the morning.
Especially when a tiny bundle of black & white fluff that crawls up your leg on tiny claws slowly turns into 18 pounds of solid fur and teeth… that said, how are you *supposed* to resist burying your toes in the long fur on their tummies (especially when they’re that huge)? It’s almost worth the toothmarks…

I love puppies and the dogs they become. Come to think of it- I am sucker for any baby animal.
