The Cat-Fish Chronicles : Little Sister

Hopefully I don't get in too much trouble for this post.

I figured most of you who read this already know anyways, so I've got pictures I want to post.

Since Tristan is getting a little brother, we decided Korra needed a little sister. And mommy needed a snuggle buddy that didn't try to chew on her face.

And so, introducing Lilly!

The story of how she came to be is actually quite intriguing, but for another time. Suffice it to say shelter's don't make adopting animals very easy…..it's like they want to keep them. But once we got her home, it was all worth it. She is the perfect little sweetheart, gentle with Tristan, playful with Korra, and snuggly with me and Nick. There just isn't a mean bone in her body, no matter how many time Korra and Tristan try to (and succeed a lot of the time……) step on her. She's been with us a little over a month.

We're animal lovers, not ashamed to admit it. At the shelter, it was very hard not to adopt every single kitty there. Nick joked with the lady that they should have just shown me one kitty and said it was the only one they had, and I still would have taken it home. Hahaha, he makes fun of me, but he was just as bad. One day we can have lots of animals, but for now, Korra and Lilly are perfect. I'm so glad they get along so well, and that they are both great with Tristan. And, amazingly enough, Lilly has not demonstrated the out of litter box experiences all of our other cats have. I have high hopes for her, haha.

The only problem is, all three of them (Tristan, Korra and Lilly) want me at once. The minute I sit down, they are all trying to get in my lap. Lilly will curl up, and Tristan will shove her away, and then Korra will just attack all of us. Usually I end up sitting on the coffee table or kitchen stool to get away. And Lilly is probably going to grow up thinking she is a dog……she already tries to steal Korra's bone, likes hanging out in her crate, and rough houses with her incessantly. Which I guess is a good thing. And it's hard to tell in the pictures, but she does have a lazy eye……hehe which makes her even cuter. She also loves my hair, it's her favorite place to snuggle, she will burry her face in my hair and purr and drool and knead. I'm guessing that's because we adopted her just one week after she had been weaned. But, after everyone has gone to bed, and it's just poor pregnant insomniac me hanging out, it's nice to have a little kitty curled up on my lap purring.
