Here Kitty, Kitty

After months of harassing their dad, the kids finally wore him down and he brought home a kitty a few weeks ago. So, we add a cat to the menagerie of animals that currently reside here. To convince their dad that they needed a kitten, they put all their stuffed animal cats on his side of our bed one evening. Then, they taped pictures of kittens on his steering wheel in his truck. Shelby changed his wallpaper on his phone to, you guessed it, a kitty. She also recorded a song on his phone about cats!

We were going to get a kitten from our local shelter. I stopped in there one day after we got home from Colorado to find no kittens and just a few cats. After a few dead ends, a flyer left on a car at Dan's work led us to our cat.

He's fitting into our family nicely. Samson is a bit jealous but he's very gentle with Boots. Boots loves to play with Samson's legs, attacking him while he's laying down. He just doesn't like it when Samson looks at him. No eye contact please. He spits and hisses and arches his back in the air. Like he could do anything if Samson decided to eat him.

We call him TT in the mornings. TT stands for Tiny Terrorist. He's very playful first thing and he attacks anything that moves. I hear the kids screams and laughter as he gets their toes from underneath their beds. I've forgotten how much fun it is to watch a kitten play.
