We used to have two cats, but sadly had to put one down shortly after Liam was born. So we've been a two cat household before. Numerous times we have talked about getting another, but we never found one that just had to be ours! So this whole thing wasn't completely spontaneous, even though we weren't necessary out to get a new kitten on this particular day. Really I just wanted some kombucha. And right next to where I get my kombucha is a "kitty store" (animal shelter). So I was able to get Conor & Liam on board with a kombucha stop with the promise of playing with kitties. Well, we fell in love! One particular kitten was so sweet & snuggly, not to mention beautiful. She came home with us that day!
Part of me wanted a boy cat so we could name him Lancelot (our other cat Charlie's official name is Sir Charles), but this feminine beauty won out over many others! Naming her was a tad tricky and took quite some time. We tested out a few options, but Squirrel is what stuck. As I've mentioned before, Liam is pretty into squirrels right now. And it may just be the cutest word to come out of his mouth. Plus, our new kitten was a just a bit squirelly. So yes, we have a new kitten named Squirrel and we love her!
She's so cute and tiny and I'm not even a cat person ;). And I adore the name!!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I love the name, too cute.
ReplyDeleteAw, I love how you named her Squirrel - you may know they're my favorite. And we're a two cat household too!
ReplyDeleteShe is precious!!! I'm so glad she's so calm and lovable! That's why we love Fluffy so much, she's so tolerant of Sophie falling all over her and half squishing her. It's so nice for children to have a pet tor grow up with.
ReplyDeleteliz @ sundays with sophie
oh my - she's the cutest! Congrats on your new kitty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect name! She kind of makes me want a cat :)
ReplyDeleteShe is SO cute! Mason loves my mother in laws cat and that poor sweet cat puts up with so much. As many times as I say "gentle", poor Mason doesn't quite understand what the word means yet. We've thought about getting a cat before, especially since I think a pet would be good for him.
ReplyDeleteShe's so sweet!!!! Congrats! :)
ReplyDeletesdkfmsjzbfvszdbvcnmzsdzk!!!! look how cute she is!! how did i miss this?! CATS!!! she is adorable, i love her name, and look how much Liam loves her and she looks super relaxed with him :) love her! congrats :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable cat and name!!! Welcome to the family Squirrel!!
ReplyDeleteAww congrats on the new addition to the family! Kittens are sooooo CUTE! I'm sure the boys will spoil her rotten ;)
ReplyDeleteSquirrel is adorable. Congratulations on your new family member. PS - squirrel totally makes me want a kitten!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I am not a cat person...and all the cats of the world are probably thanking God because if we had a cat, it would be so incredibly terrorized by my children. Your boys seem like they would be good with pets though and it is so good for kids to grow up around them.
ReplyDeleteAww Squirrel you are so cute! Brady would especially love you, given your name ;)
ReplyDeleteKitties plus babies is a winning combination! So. Much. Cuteness. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! She is so cute!! I have been begging my husband to let me get us another dog - I know the feeling. Love those photos! She is going to be one very lucky kitty!
ReplyDeleteI must have missed that post! Loving the newest member of your family - what a sweetie! We have a cat too (Aslan), but with both Caleb and Ellie (our Doberman) running around, poor Aslan spends much of his time in hiding:( He does come out to cuddle with me every night and sleeps in our bed, so he does get some good snuggles in! I'm sure Squirrel will get plenty of loving too!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the sweetest! There is something about baby animals and babies that melts my heart! We have two cats (and a dog) but they're older and don't really appreciate the newest members of our family. ha!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, she is a pretty little kitty!! Looks like she doesn't mind the boys either..?! Perfect name. :)
