Our Newest Addition


On Saturday night, we were outside our balcony talking to our next door neighbor. A boy walked by the house and threw a kitten into the neighbor’s yard below us. We ran downstairs and that neighbor helped us get the kitten. We took it upstairs into the house and gave it some milk. We’ve been wanting a cat, and decided that this was God’s answer. Daniel ran out to buy kitty litter and food. That first night, the kitten kept hiding from us under the couch. By the next day, she let us play with her some. She soon got used to the house, and us. We’ve been keeping her in the bathroom when we leave. She meows for a while because she wants out. But then when she’s free to roam the house and we’re in another room, she’ll meow because she wants in. She’s very social and likes to be wherever we are.
We’ve posted pictures of our kitten (Chai té, or Chai for short). She’s beautiful and tiny. We love her already. We’ve also included pictures of our house. Hopefully this will give you a taste our lives here. :)

P.S. Ashley- we need tips on how to raise and kitten! :)

Yay! I have lots of advice. :-) First of all, don't give her milk. Cats are lactose intolerant. Don't play with your hands or she will learn that it's okay to attack them. Wad up some paper or get some balls or some string (not yarn) and play with that. Don't play very roughly. She's precious. :-) Hmm I can't think of anything else except to love on her and play with her and get her spayde before she goes into heat and has babies (like my cat did :-p). I can't think of anything else right now, so email me if you have specific questions!

I seem to remember that someone helped your neighbor get the cat from under the stars. ;)
