A family of three...well..maybe 2 and a 1/2

A couple of weeks ago, Chris decided to let me have a kitten! I've wanted a pet SO bad since we got married, but we can't have a dog because they're too big, and plus we're really not supposed to have pets at our apartment complex. Well, we'd seen plenty of apartments with cats sitting in the window, and so Chris (being the wonderful husband that he is) found an add in the paper for free kittens in the neighboring town, and surprised me and took me to go pick out our kitty!

I would like to introduce you to...(drum role please...) Iola!!! She's a tiny, sweet n' spicy little furball! From day one, she definately made herself at home. At first, she didn't like the feel of walking on carpet on her toes, so she would just bounce on the carpet with her feet as far apart as she could. Her favorite thing to play with is our feet. She will sneak up on them, crouch down, shake her little bum, and POUNCE! She's so ferocious! We've also noticed, that she refuses to sleep anywhere but right next to us. If we're up working on something, she'll complain to us until we sit down so she can cuddle up to us a doze off.

Chris at first wasn't such a big fan, but she melted his heart in no time! We love her and she's so much fun! I'll post pictures soon

A CAT!! Wow Chris, I cannot believe you joined the dark side. I bet Duffy and Doogie are rolling over in their graves. Well, probably not rolling over, they were never really good at tricks. Congrats on the new edition! And enjoy the ring worm. :-)

HA! I am with Shaun... a CAT!?!

but I have to say my first pet ever was a cat...who I loved dearly... but know that I am allergic to them I can't enjoy them. So, I have been a Dog person for the last 20 year of my life.
Congrats on the new baby!
