Merry Xmas

A Visit from Santa Claws

I looks like we had a visit last night from Santa Claws.
Santa Magic, top, and Santa Peanut, below, would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas.

Happy Holidays

Here is wishing your family a very happy holidays from our family.
Magic is trying to figure out which of the presents is his.

While Peanut is trying on her new holiday hat.

Happy Holidays

Like most people I will be spending the holidays with my family.

But part of my family decided to get an early start on their celebrating.

Peanut decided that wearing hats was just not her style.

Sleeping in them was another thing all together though, nice and warm.

But you know how curious cats can be and it did not take long for Magic to come and check things out.

He was a little to big to sleep in the hat, like Peanut.

So he settled for wearing it instead.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS

to you and your family!

Isn't Peanut Cute!

Today our new little kitten, Peanut, went in to the vet to get her booster shots.

She is doing great. Besides being ultra cute she is very healthy which is good considering our recent loss.

Michelle got the fun job of bringing her in this time. I got to bring her in for her first visit about a month ago. I took her in after work and she was pretty calm because that is the time that she usually sleeps. Michelle took her in early in the morning when she is usually more active and the report is that she was pretty squirmy.

She has gained about a pound since her first visit and now weighs around four pounds.

Even though she is still quite small she is ferocious and always willing to throw down with her big brother Magic.

What a Difference a Week Can Make

A week ago I was in the vets office with Michelle, tears in my eyes as I said goodbye to our baby girl. Today, one week later, I returned to the vet for a much happier occasion.

Putting Misty to sleep was an extremely anguishing decision, especially considering that she was only two years old. We felt pretty helpless watching her health decline and in the end we did what we thought was best for all of us.

Afterwards we talked it over and decided that it would be a good thing to get a new cat right away. We thought that getting a new cat would help us get over some of our grief but more importantly we were worried about our little boy, Magic, who had lost his companion.

So last weekend we headed out to one of the adoption events held by Last Hope, a local no kill shelter, and found this adorable little girl to take home with us.

This is peanut. She is a beautiful brown Tabbie. Not only is she extremely cute but she is very affectionate. She will often curl up and sleep on Michelle or I. She is not all angel though a part of her is a wild cat and loves to run around and play. After a few tense hours at first, Peanut and Magic have now become close and are often sleeping or playing together or grooming one and other.

Today was her first visit to our vet and so far she seems to be healthy and happy. I pray that things will stay that way and that we will be able to share our lives together for many years to come.
