Addie told me a few weeks ago that for her birthday all she wanted was “a real live kitty.”\u00a0 Of course I promptly told her that she has a real live kitty, Tiger.<\/p>\n

“But I want a kitty that is mine and will love me, Mama.”<\/p>\n

She also told J. and I a few days later, “I just want a pet that won’t step on my feet!”\u00a0 (Ha. I think she was alluding to Fritz, my parent’s puppy who seems to find little toes wherever he steps.)<\/p>\n

And, in all fairness Tiger has never really been a fan of Addie. Smokey, despite being a bit cantankerous, seemed to tolerate Addie’s “loving”<\/a> much more than Tiger ever has.<\/p>\n

While we were at the “puppy\/kitty store” (as Addie calls it) this morning they were in the middle of an adoption weekend and this little kitty needed a new home. Addie decided she would be a good birthday present and a kitty to love forever.<\/p>\n

She looks an awful lot like a mini-Tiger, doesn’t she? She is\u00a0 a very, VERY sweet and affectionate cat.\u00a0 And so far seems very tolerant of Addie’s attempts to pick her up and love her.<\/p>\n

She is hanging out in the bathroom until she gets acquainted with Tiger, who has been nowhere to be found this afternoon. It is almost as if she senses a disturbance in the force and has taken to hiding under a bed I’m sure.<\/p>\n

But I think once Tiger meets new kitty she will likely see her charm and grow to like her, too.<\/p>\n
