In May Cody, our "old fart" cat. (He was 17) died. The family has missed him bunches. Not that we didn't have three other cats, a hamster, and a rabbit to keep us company. In August Katy ask Daddy if she could have a kitten from her Great Grandma B's house. The mother had 2 kittens very young and had stopped nursing them. After many days of negotiations. Since I had promised Karl we wouldn't get another cat until he was dead. Karl and Katy came to an agreement about the kitten. It is Katy's kitten and she had to pay for everything. I have never seen a kid work so hard and she did it. Katy paid for all the kittens vet visits as well as getting the kitten fixed and declawed. I watched her work for Nana all day and then babysit in the evening. Karl and I are really proud of her and her hard work. Karl even gave her a bonus. . . She didn't have to pay back the last $10 she owed. Now all she needs to do is cover the cost of vet bills.
Katy named the Kitten Tika. She weighed 2.7 pounds when we brought her home. She is now just under 5 pounds.
Tika
I think Tika will stay nice and small. She is just like a toddler, she runs around and bounces off the walls, she even chases her tail, and then she falls asleep.
Tika with big brother Tobin who loves to bath her and snuggle her.
The other cats took to Tika right away. I knew the first time they all ate together she was accepted as a Dymond Cat.
