our newest arrival...


okay I just realized that somebody messed up the date in my camera.  Now I'm going to have to search my directions to find out how to fix it or take the wrong date off. 

check out our little baby girl...she had just eaten...slurp!

My youngest daughter was looking for a kitten, her boyfriend is going off to college in another city, she feels lonely, wants something to keep her company as she lives with her Dad, and her big boy cat lives here with me, so she solicited my help.  I think she should take "King Fuzz" home. 

Needless to say, I clicked in Ebay or somewhere and typed in kittens, did a search, several searches in fact, trying to find a kitten close to home, and came across an ad in my county looking for a home for her "Ragdoll." The reason they are called ragdolls is because when picked up their body totally relaxes, therein perfect for children, like a ragdoll. They are an awesome breed of cats, we're excited to get this little half-breed, we don't care that she isn't a full bred ragdoll. Have you seen the prices of a ragdoll kitten? yeah...nearly a thousand bucks. Our cost? free. Also this breed will get really big, just like "King Fuzz." The two together will be stunning side by side,due to their contrasting colors, as Fuzz is caramel and white. I can't wait to get a picture of the two of them together. The lady said they were moving and couldn't take their cat, so they were looking for a good home.  I had no idea on intial contact via email that she even had a kitten.  I was willing to try to take in a beautiful bred cat needing a home, sent an email, half expected no response really...and so I went onto search for Bobbi a kitten.  Who knew the mother was so beautiful...


The lady emailed me back and said she found a home for the mother (above), but that she had a 'half' not full bred Ragdoll kitten, obviously this mother had six babies with some oddball cat, and they had all died except for the kitten you see in the top pic, who now belongs to us.  The lady said she nursed this one with a bottle, the lone survivor, just like Bobbi, she's pretty much been a loner thanks to her Dad.  Its so little and tiny, and those little eyes...yeah suckered me right in.   She is sitting on the step, she can't even get up and down the steps, she's so teeny! Bobbi took the kitten to her Dad's, but I doubt he's going to let her keep it.  We are taking suggestions for names...so throw one out here...
