Cat People. It's who we are.


I am a cat person. Always have been. My children are very much the same. They are afraid of most dogs, and the ones they aren't, they get tired of quickly. So... we have cats. We had Mindi Lou, but Carrigan was too rough with her, so we gave her away. We had Tinsel, who was WONDERFUL, but chose to be a stray. :( -- we still spot him, so we know he is okay and probably being fed by a neighbor . Carrigan was heartbroken when he stopped coming around. She asked for a "tiny, tiny little baby girl kitty" for her birthday. She was very particular and wanted the perfect one.
Just the other day, we were driving home from the store and I spotted two little tiny baby kitties. Both girls. We were all thrilled! (minus daddy, but eh... )
We brought them home and they are just adorable! I didn't want two cats, so we gave one away to our neighbor-friends, so we can visit any time! (Gavin was still heartbroken)

Tara is the sweetest little gray & white kitten. She is small, much smaller than her sister, calm, quiet, and very willing to let Carrigan push her around in a stroller. She is perfect!
*UPDATE* Tara has been renamed Mindi Lou Part 2. :)

The second night in the house we smelled "the smell." Levi and I searched and searched.... but just couldn't tell where it was coming from. Out of frustration, I asked Carrigan where it was coming from and she replied... "*sniff, sniff* It's in my nose!!!" Gosh, it was cute. :)

(unrelated cuteness about the 4 senses)
We ran out of the kid's toothpaste, so they had to brush with mine. Mint of course... Afterward, Carrigan wanted a drink of water. She took a sip, with her fresh mint mouth and surprisingly asked, "What kind of water IS this???" Oh, it was funny. :)
I love my sweet girl. ;)
