From A Kitten to a Cat - And Tight Spaces

Hello everyone....

first let start by saying that I am 

so glad all of  you love my furbabes.

Thank you.

This is Lily just a few days 

after coming to live as Dakota's

pet kitten. 

She came right in and made herself at 

home. She was 12 weeks when I got

her. 

Today, April 4th, Lily turns one!

I never thought in a million

years I would get a cat. 

I was 57 yrs old.

I never thought in a million

years that Dakota would allow

another pet in his home.

Dakota was 10.

Here are a few pics along the

way with the funny stuff she

has done and the tight places

she loves to get.

Seriously what is it about cats wanting

to get in 

EVERYTHING?

Her and Dakota's water bowl on the 

deck....empty of course.

a flipped over canvas painting.

Really?

A skillet.

A pot.

A laundry basket.

Or two.

 A sink.

Or a tub.

Or back to another sink.

Or even her play tunnel.

A box I am about to wrap

at Christmas.

Or an empty box awaiting

a gift.

haha.....or a not so big

shoe box just sitting around

(with Cory in Calif. and me in 

TN. I hold onto boxes for shipping).

  

Well, if you can't find a box 

lets just do a bag.

And if mom picks up all th e

plastic bags...

a canvas one will do.

Then there are the cool

boxes that mom cuts windows and

doors in so I can play and hide

from Dakota.

And of course, I have to insist on helping mom

with the dishes.

or the washing or drying of the

laundry.... (could not locate pics).

What is it about those places, some

tight, some not, some cold, some not, some

crinkle but yet others don't. 

What is it about a birthday girl 

that loves a empty box to play

in?

She is not my furry little kitten 

anymore, she has become a cat

right before my eyes.

In the pic below Lily is trying out

her new perch granny got her.

She was 14 weeks.

Now look how she feels that 

space out!

She used to love to lay in my arms...

now I just have to grab her and 

love on her when I want too.

I took a chance on a kitten, one that

came over to the side of the cage where

I stood....one that picked me for her mom. 

I took a chance bringing her into my home

with a spoiled self centered dog that

played well with his granny's dogs....

but he did not like sharing his mom.

I took a chance in getting him his own

pet, and a kitten that was 10 yrs younger

than him....

and it has been the most amazing 

time. 

There are days they don't play, but there

are those days that she starts it and 

so many more where he starts it!

They wrestle together, they sleep together,

they love each other more

than I could ever have hoped for. 

There really was not an adjusting

period with him and her, he loved

her from the start and she knew she

was the queen from the start!

They make my heart so happy, they 

make laugh everyday, they

bring me joy

thanks for stopping in and 

checking on the babes.
