Our Miss Brooks

I thought I'd start this blog by telling you how we came about getting Miss Brooks.

I blogged about it on my other blog, My Shabby Roses , about a year ago.

* * *

It is now after noon........I have got nothing done........I had plans today to sew two aprons........that hasn't happened.

Why, you ask?

Well, this little guy or girl came to our home.

I'm afraid to say this makes four!

I really don't want to be the little old lady you read about that has 95 cats in her house!

I don't!

I don't!

I don't!

I have to say though, they are all fixed so no little ones will be running around, except for this one.

This wasn't a planned event!

Oh, I just got a "flash back" my last one wasn't planned either!

A trip to Crispy Cream and I came home with a kitten!

No wonder I steer clear of that place!

I think I've completely gone over the edge and I wanted you to be the first to know!

I'm a soft touch!

Thank goodness for a sweet husband!

But this is it!!!

I don't care if these sweet little guys are cuddly and cute and full of life...I don't care if they do the silliest things and I love watching them!

This is the last one!

How did this happen you might ask!

Well, it all began last night...

We had just finished my son's "showcase" for his theater group when one of the mother's sprinted, came up to me and ask if I would like a kitten.

Apparently, her neighbor had just given it to her because her dog had just eaten the sister kitten and they needed to find a home for it.

What, do I have a sign over my head that says, "Ask Me!"?

The family that had the kitten at the showcase last night were going on vacation the next morning (for 5 weeks) and were not able to take care of her.

I had seen a picture of her on the mother's phone and...she was small...cute and orange...a few of my favorite things.

We went outside to look at her...I know what you're thinking...1st mistake, right?

Well she was everything I envisioned her to be...small, cute and orange.

Talk about a "chick magnet", I don't usually use that term but let me tell you if a guy wanted to meet girls that's the way to do it.

We had such a large group of young ladies gathered around this kitten each wanting to hold her!

Well, to make a long story short, she came home with us.

Each one of our cats is named after an old time radio show character.

If this one turns out to be a girl her name is Miss Brooks.

Being that orange female cats are very rare.

Her name could change if we find out that she is a he.

Friday, we'll find out when she has her first vet. appointment.

As for the other cats, they are trying to get use to her, it will take time.

As for us...We're In Love with her!
