Our New Kitty!

Taylie has been wanting a kitty since we lived in Layton! We ended up promising her one when we moved to where ever Aaron was assigned! She had only been in South Carolina 10 days when we found Princes!
We decided the Friday following Thanksgiving to see if we could find an adoption center located in Columbia that had a picture of an orange kitty, which is what Taylie said she wanted! When we arrived we found out that this orange kitty named Butter was still to small to adopt. They were willing to put our name on a waiting list and call us once it was big enough if we were interested. We decided that is what we would do but to make our hour long drive worth it we went in to see the cats that were available for adoption. When we went in this kitten named Stuffing immediately cuddled up with Taylie and allowed her to sit and hold her. When Taylie got up to see another kitten Stuffing followed Taylie. After holding and playing with her Taylie decided that she wanted this kitty!
Stuffing and another kitten were found at only a few weeks old without a mother and nursed back to health until they were ready to adopt!
Long story short we ended up with "Stuffing." Taylie renamed the cat "Princess!" despite mine and Aaron's attempts to suggest other names!
On the way home we bought the cat a pink bed, toys, bowl , kitty litter box and scoop!
She has been the best cat! She loves being held and purrs even if you are just talking to her! Every once in awhile we remind the kids to let her go and be a kitten cause despite loving attention she is a kitten and is FULL of fiesty energy!

Can you sense Taylie's excitement?
Cheese!
Lovin' life as a spoiled kitty!

This picture is cute and shows how small she was when we got her! She has already at least tripled in size

Taking in some R and R!

The kids were in bed and Aaron and I were in the kitchen, when Aaron went in to sit down in the family room on the only chair we had at the time he discovered this and called me in to see!...

It wasn't more than a few days later we ordered a couch!
