KITTY

[anagramofbrat]

This is "Lily." It's in quotes cause we've only 95% decided on her name. Mostly cause Lovebug still wants to call her Molly. (She was Sadie at the shelter.)

So far she seems super chill - settled down in the carrier for the car ride home like it wasn't no big thing. And after the initial OMGHIDEUNDERBED (which only lasted about 20min) she's been exploring and begging for pettings from all of us. Yes, including the kids. She's been pretty chill with them. Also she jumped in my lap and put her paws on my keyboard as I was trying to tweet about her arrival, so... :) I think we found a good match.

Pretty much what instantly sold me on her was that I walked into the colony room at Dakin and I put out my hand for her to sniff and she sat up on her hind legs and headbutted my hand to get lovings. I was pretty much done, I love cats that do that. So far the only problems we forsee happening is that she's a very athletic jumper (her sheet said "counter surfer") and has apparently a bottomless stomach and an affinity for people food. Oh also, she sheds. We'll have to find a kitty brush soon. Meanwhile I need to mainline loratadine until I get used to her.



cell23 is on cloud >9000 and the kids are happy, even if Lovebug spent the majority of the shelter trip tantruming about how he wanted to go to the library instead. Orz.

Oh local peeps, there's a segment on Dakin airing on abc40 tonight at 6. You _might_ see Kidzilla getting a butterfly painted on her face. :)

She looks awesome! I love kitties too, and she reminds me of a cat my Nan sort of had. I love lap kitties the best too. Our cats are almost lap kitties, more like shoulder kitties :).

And head kitties.

What a beautiful girl! (I'm with the kid with "Molly", though. :D)

lol, it don't matter honestly, when the kids aren't here she's going to end up being "fuzzbutt" or "hey you cat" or *sound of can opening*

Yeah, she looks kinda like a Molly. But whatever you call her, she's cute!

I still believe that all cats should be named after villains. She's a cutey and a half!

Pretty kitty! And sounds like she has exactly the right personality, too.

Before she came to live with us from the Dakin shelter, Tilda used to be called Sadie, too.

Sounds like you guys picked a winner. :)

OMG HER FEETS.

Am loving how her attitude with Manbeast is one of "Yes, of course I am to be cuddled in this fashion. Good of you to not need educating, Monkey."

Aw, Sadie is such a good name. But Lily is good too.
