Whoever said you can't buy love was wrong, we just did, and her name is Missy.

I asked Davi what she wanted for her birthday and she replied "a kitty in our home". She paused and said, I really miss having a kitty to love.

She could have asked for clothes, gift cards, a shopping spree, ipod, wii,...

All she asked for is to give a kitty a home. How could I refuse?

We really looked and looked, we found several cats - but I really wanted the girls to enjoy the brief time of kittenhood.

We found "Missy" through FOCAS (friends of county animal shelters) - she is spayed, microchipped and had her first shots. Even though she is orange, she is a girl!!!

The girls and I bought her a collar, that she takes off. a kitty condo she doesn't even look at, and a pink bed - and she prefers to sleep on Davi's homework.

The girls are in heaven and I am smitten.

She caught her first lizard (I saved it from death!) she had something she was really interested in under the table , I thought she found a piece of paper or trash and didn't want her to have it and it moved. I caught the lizard and put him out, Missy was quite upset I took it away.

She has tons of energy and is like caffeine covered in fur. it is a lot like trying to photograph a falling raindrop. these photos were the ones of her taking a brief moment or falling asleep.
