Guess What! I have a Kitty!

 
I have a new kitty! 
 
 
It's been one long year since Blackie passed away and I really haven't been wanting to get another cat until lately.  A couple of weeks ago, I just got this really big urge to start looking for a cat that would suit me and of course Maggie our Cockatiel.
(And one that would not make it her/his life's goal of wanting to murder Maggie!) 
 
I nearly drove my dh mad!
LOL,
 So for sure my kitty going to be a rescue cat and not a kitten because adult cats are the hardest to find their forever homes. 

Off Hannah and I went to our local Shelter
 (where they desex, microchip, worm, give them their needles and de-flea etc etc).
 
Sure enough, there she was - a little tuxedo mummy kitty who had just seen the last of her five kittens go.  She looked so sad, shy and tiny. 
(Tiny to me after my very big framed black cat!)  

There was something about her that said she didn't really care about birds.  They said she didn't have any interest in playing with the long stick and string with the feathers on the end of it which every other cat loved to play with. This was a really good clue that Maggie might just well be safe!

  Anyway, she just nuzzled into me and that was that!

She's about 2yrs old, and her name is Yassi.
She is gaining confidence and settling in really well. 

And Maggie? 
She throws a threatening 'stink-eye'


But Yassi......She couldn't care less!

Oh, Mandy....I am so thrilled you have a new kitty to love. We all miss Blackie and I know he will always have a huge place in your heart. But that's the magic and joy of LOVE....there is always room in our hearts to love another without diminishing the love we have for the others.

The 2019 Cat Lovers Hop is coming up on Oct. 21-26. I hope you will join us and share the new little sweetheart you have adopted. Hugs and rejoicing with you at your new family member.
