Boxes, Boxes, Everywhere

It seems like forever since we've had the chance to catch up with everyone!  We miss you all, dear friends.

We're moving in six days, and there is still so much to do!!

How are the kitties holding up?

Carmine's taken to chomping plastic bags, which he does when he's anxious.  So every time I get a bag ready for donations, I have to douse it in Bitter Apple.  This does deter him, thankfully. :)  Of course, I also offer him something that's good to chomp on, like one of his many, many catnip toys.

Milita seems to care less what's going on.  She's just her happy-go-lucky-self.  She's been offering me hug time lately, which is nice.  What better way to spend a break than to hug your fur baby? :)

Jewel has been very clingy lately.  Anyone who knows Jewel, knows that she's not a very clingy cat.  I've also noticed she gets very upset if her water isn't fresh enough.  Her dad ordered her a fountain so she'll have a constant source of fresh water.  I think she'll like that!

I also wanted to take a moment to welcome our new VSquillions!!  I adopted a Summer and an Angel VSquillion to honor my first cat, Kitty.

My sister and I got Kitty when she about 8 years old from the Humane Society.  She was a beautiful calico baby.  She was very cuddly and sweet.  There were many occasions over the years that Kitty would snuggle up to me when I cried.  She would roam around at night and take turns sleeping on my bed, my sister's bed, and my stepsister's bed.

I loved Kitty so very much, and it broke my heart when she went to the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 18.  We lost our dear, sweet Kitty to kidney disease.  She fought a long, hard battle.

I ran across a picture of Kitty when I was going through some old cards and letters.  Once I get settled in my new place and figure out how to scan it in, I'll share it with you.  I even had my senior pictures taken with Kitty in high school.  I'll see if I have any of those around, too.

Welcome home, Kitty.  I love you so very much!
