Bzzz goes the Bee: I got a new kitty!!!!!!!!!!

His name is Louie and he's the CUTEST thing! A week before our three year anniversary Tony told me that he was planning on surprising me with a kitten! Only he couldn't keep it a secret anymore he was just that excited. He showed me the kitten that he was looking at on Craigslist and I was so pumped!

So Tony emailed them and we didn't hear back the rest of the night. The next morning when I looked at the posting on Craigslist it was GONE. SO SAD! I seriously thought I was going to cry and almost did (pregnancy horomones), and then shortly thereafter we got the email from them saying that unfortunately the kitten had already found a home. I was so crushed.

That very day we started looking online at the Humane Society website for our area to look into the kittens they had available. Right away I noticed they had a litter of young kittens that were dropped off late April that were part orange part white and so adorable! They had video's posted of them too and they looked so cuddly and cute! So we went to the Humane Society to play with them and see if we liked any of them. When we looked online there were three orange kittens left, but when we got there, there was just one! He was curled up asleep next to a gray and white kitten, and there were two darker tiger stripped kittens that were going wild trying to get into our laps! Both of those kittens had nasty colds though, and I didn't like how desperate for attention they were already acting.

We woke up the orange and white guy and played with him a bit, and he seemed to be a bit playful and sleepy at the same time, but an overall sweetheart! We also looked at the older cats and played with the other kittens, but as soon as we had played with the orange and white kitten, we knew we had found the perfect guy for us!

So we adopted him and brought him home, and put him into the spare room to get him acclimated before we released him to deal with Zuma, who can be quite testy at times. We also brought him home with a slight runny eye so we knew he would probably develop a "kitty cold" as well like the other kittens in his area had. I took him to the vet the next day and ensured that he didn't have any fatal diseases and to make sure his cold was just a cold. The vet said he should be fine within a few weeks but if he started to get sick, to call them to get him some antibiotics. So far he's been happy and playful, and eats a ton.

The first night, he was really needy, crying all the time and obviously scared of his new home. By the second night, after his vet visit, we introduced him to Zuma, who wasn't impressed at first, but then slowly warmed up to him, and now they play great! She is always letting him know who the Queen is though, and doesn't let him forget it!

So, without further ado... Louie!

Asleep on the cat tower that Zuma never uses, believe me she wanted to use it as soon as he started to though!

Good morning! See his runny eye? Poor thing! Hope his cold clears up soon.

Tony is doing something to get his attention...

But now attention is focused back on mommy!

Sleeping on the kitchen chair, one of his favorite places

So innocent looking!

After his first night home. He cried SO much that I had to bring blankets and pillows into his room and sleep on the floor with him to get him to stop crying. The next night he slept with us, and by the next night Zuma was being nice to him, so he was able to sleep in his cat bed in the living room.

FEATHER TOY!

Crashed out on Tony's chest, they are quite the buddies.

Zuma cleaning him, until she noticed that someone saw her being nice and promptly vacated the scene.

Here are the very limited pictures I took in AZ. Tony took a few on our hike but he has yet to upload them or post them up for me, so I'll probably post those later.

In front of this fountain scene in my sexy blue dress :P

Awkward cuddling, lolol

And the bump emerges. Funny thing about this picture is that i had a print made from Snapfish and they COMPLETELY cut off Tony's head in it! So irritating, he's tall, but not THAT tall!

And because I'm starting to feel lazy, my newest nail shots. They are newspaper nails! I got the idea from an article a friend posted on Facebook. Basically you paint your nails any light color (I picked a VERY pale purple color called purple cloud by Sally Hansen Manicure) and then take newspaper clippings, (obviously you need to use small clippings or your going to have this HUGE newspaper wrapped around your nail, and soak tissue or a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and put it on the back of the newspaper and the print will just transfer off onto your nail! Its backwards of course, but looks really cool. Just don't forget to put a clear topcoat on it or you'll smear newsprint all over yourself.
