:cat2: Yes, it is official. We are a cat family. Eowww, how did that happen? ?:-)
Late one night four weeks ago, Miss R brought home a stray kitten. She had found it in the middle of a busy road, looking scared, very thin and nearly dead. She was nowhere near home at the time so she took it to a friend’s house where they bathed and fed him. Then, she brought him home. Well, it took all of 2 seconds before he won my heart but he’s a baby animal so that’s no major feat. The major deal would be to win John’s heart (more on that later).
We couldn’t decide on a name and everyone kept calling him their own pet name but over the weeks one name has remained and been used by all.
Greystache or Grey for short. We believe that he is a Russian Blue.
He is the most beautiful kitten/cat, who loves being adored. But he’s so cute; it’s easy to snuggle and pet him all day. Yesterday, we noticed that one of his teeth was hanging out so thanks to google I found out that kittens do indeed lose some teeth when they are about 4 months old. He’s been a little ‘blue’ (hehee) the last two days and we think it is because he is teething. He went a bit psycho at one point yesterday; running around, licking his paw like mad, generally being very scatty. As soon as he calmed down I picked him up and his tooth was gone! He must have lost it and gotten it caught in his paw and it was annoying him.
The other night while watching Facing the Giants, Grey was in the loungeroom with us. John had a little bit of the blanket overhanging the chair so Grey pulled on it, just long enough for him to lie on. Then, he turned around and cocooned himself in it- all the while slowly stealing the blanket from John! John caught our eye and motioned for us to look at what Grey had done; he thought it was cute. Ha! what was really cute was that Grey has won John’s heart. THAT is no easy task for an animal!
So if I write about ‘Grey’ you’ll know who I am referring to. Isn’t he gorgeous?
Goodness, if I am gushing blogging about my pet, what am I going to be like when I’m a grandmother? :inlove:
What a blessing to inherit this gorgeous *baby* ~ FREE! I would say he is a Russian Blue too…
I am glad Grey found such a wonderful and adoring family. Even if he has got you all wrapped around his little paw, lol… (as it should be 😉 ).
Hi Amanda, yes cats are definitely NOT dogs, are they? Completely different! We will be getting him des*xed soon so will find out more about his breed from the vet.
Hi Susan,
Greystache is gorgeous!
This is the way we started out, too – with only one cat, and now we have three. 😛
What a great way to start 2010!
Blessings,
Jillian
Jillian, hmmm we will definitely draw the line at one. Methinks Grey can be an ‘only child’, lol.
oh what a beautiful kitten. He is a gorgeous colour and I would be gushing over him too.
Thanks Therese, for stopping by! Always a pleasure to have you here 🙂
What is it about “baby” things that makes people gooey….whatever it is I like that kind of drug……I have been “baby gazing” at church……I love it when people you love get a baby (or something)…….enjoy cat gazing……ahhhhhhhhh they grow up so quickly 😉 Cathy
Hey!
I love your new, uber-clean, extra-friendly look! It’s great!
I would comment on your cat, but I’m still congratulating myself after a close shave – having nearly acquired one I didn’t want. So my cat comments wouldn’t be sincere 😉
What is sincere is my great, big, Hello friends! and I hope you all had a delightful time over the hols.
I have a bit of catching up to do in blog-land, but part of my new plan for the year is less time on the computer. (eh! We can dream… ) But I’ll be back to read what you all have been up to while I’ll been off in the wilds.
xx
What a little cutie. But don’t tell my dh I said that – he is not exactly a cat person.
Pets, grandchildren ……….. hhmmm 🙂 You will make a wonderful, gushing grandmother Susan.
Hehee, thanks Amy… I’m happy to wait until *just the right time*- whilst I”m in a hurry to be a grandma I’m not in too much of a hurry. 😉
Hi Joi, holidays and/or going away often see me doing a cull of blog reading/ emails, etc. How are your plans for lessons going this year?
Cathy, I wonder if it is God’s grace that makes baby things so cute – coz heaven knows they can also drive one up the wall LOL.
Hi Joi, holidays and/or going away often see me doing a cull of blog reading/ emails, etc. How are your plans for lessons going this year?
Sorry to take so long to reply. I’d like to attribute it to my successful attempts to spend less time on the computer, but… that wouldn’t be completely truthful!
My school plans for the year? All went to pot. I’m still smarting over it. Not a happy camper.. all that kind of stuff. Of course, we have got on with what we are doing, and I am living through it, I just struggle when my plans are foiled (anyone saying..control freak?!) 🙂
