No...it's not what you think.
I'm not pregnant.
No...we didn't adopt...
Well, we didn't adopt a "real/human" baby.
We did however adopt a sweet 3 year old kitty from the shelter and from the looks of it, she's already a perfect fit to our family and friends.
Katarina came to the shelter as a stray and had kittens while there.
All of her sweet kittens were adopted out.
And then this past week, her "crate mate"/friend was also adopted, leaving this sweet girl all alone!
Katarina is part Russian Blue and has a Tiger stripe tail.
She is sweet and affectionate...but even at 3 years old...still has the spunk and playfulness of a kitten! The boys are in love with her!
She seems to have adapted to our home/family quite well.
On day 1 she was already eating, drinking, using her litter box, and exploring.
She doesn't seem to have any bad habits, as of yet.
So far, we've been able to trust her pretty well.
On our end, we need to work on playing with her and tiring her out more before bedtime, LOL.
She seems to want to get up and play each morning around 4:00 a.m.
When I play with her around 11:00 p.m. she seems to settle in nicely for a good night's sleep...so I need to make that my goal.
She kind of likes to get her days and nights mixed up like a baby...napping all day and staying up at night. I keep telling my boys they need to play more, snuggle less, haha!
When the boys are home...
You can pretty much always find Katarina on top of one of them snuggling!
This photo cracked me up. Jamie keeps his Bible on this shelf and she jumped on top of it...so...I've entitled it, "Standing on the Word"...hehe!
We are so happy with our new addition.
If you are ever looking to add a fur-baby to your family...be it a cat or a dog, look no further than your local human society or rescue shelter. There are so many pets looking and waiting for their "fur-ever" home/family.
We love you Katarina!
