OMG...she is a nut. She is lucky she is so darn cute!! She is VERY playful, but loves to snuggle up when she is tired. She has been using her litter box from the start, and is very social. When I picked her up from the breeder, it was obvious she was one of the family. I felt bad for the breeder, she got teary eyed when we took her. The boys LOVE her, and she doesn't play favorites, she loves everyone! She does meow/whine if someone leaves, or she can't find anyone. She likes to always have someone around. Right now, she is sleeping in the laundry room with her food/water, litter box, and bed. I also put her in there when we leave. I just don't trust her with the run of the house yet.

Boy, have I forgotten how curious, and rowdy kittens can be. She is pretty good, just loves to get on my dining room table, which I don't want. I pushed all the chairs in, and put some sticky tape on it to keep her off. It seems to be working. She has been eyeing my curtains lately, Hopefully, I won't have to sticky tape those. I may have a house full of sticky tape before I am done. She hasn't been scratching, except for on the scratch post, so that is good. I hate to see what she will do to the Christmas tree.

Oh well, I won't have time to miss the boys while they are in school. I have my hands full!!

My cats hate scratching posts, you know, the carpety ones... I buy the flat cardboard ones, and our cats LOVE them. If she starts scratching anything, try one of these, they are supposed to work very well at keeping cats from scratching other things!

Enjoy your baby, I know it has been a long time coming! We have just added a new kitten to our household. Hope it works out as well as it has with our other cat!

Adena, we have a Turbo Scratcher. It is flat, and round, and a ball rolls around the outside, the scratch pad is in the middle. She loves to roll the ball around, and scratch on it. I also have a Sisal rope scratching post the breeder gave me, but she doesn't like it very much.

Unfortunately, my oldest and I have not been feeling well today. I will take some new pictures soon, and post them.

Patti, her name is Isabella, AKA Izzy

Debbie, we have one of those and our cats LOVE it! Unfortunately, we can't get refills for the center of it anymore here locally, so we keep it as a toy, and have to buy different flat scratchers! LOL!

OH!!! I love kitties, especially kittens. They're so playful! lol We have two old geezers now. lol Gizmo is only about 4 or 5, but he's so moody. This morning he was snuggling all up with Randy--rubbing against him and all. I told Randy, "Look--he loves you. No, not really. He's just using you!" rofl Randy said, "I know." Enjoy that new baby and post pics when you're feeling better!
