(If anyone even remembers me... LOL!!)

Sorry I've been such a stranger. After losing Blaze, my heart just wasn't in posting any more. :(

But, now we've got some great news, so I wanted to share it with y'all. :)

Not quite a year ago, we added two new babies to our furfamily. Skye and Sienna welcomed Leo and Gabi into our home. Okay, well, Skye did... Sienna growled and took a while to accept them, but whatever. LOL!

Leo is a beautiful red and white, and Gabi is a gorgeous blue smoke with a white bib, white lip, and white paws.

They've been wonderful additions to our family (Gabi especially, and especially after I lost my dad in January :( )

Well, now we have 3 more. 11 days ago, Gabi gave birth to 3 beautiful kittens!!

This is the first little boy, currently named Figaro

And Figaro with his daddy, Leo (who takes really good care of the kittens, too)

And this was the second born, Anastasia

She doesn't quite have her eyes open yet. That's why she looks a little strange. :)

And this was the surprise kitten, Bagheera. My mom and best friend were getting pictures of Gabi taking care of Figaro and Anastasia, then suddenly with no indication there was a third one. :)

He's the hardest to photograph

And here's mama, Gabi, feeding all three. She's such a good mommy. :)

If you want to see some more pics, here are some links. I don't have too many online yet.

I unfortunately missed their birth as I was at a conference in Switzerland with my husband, but my mom and best friends did a wonderful job and went above and beyond the call of friendship / "duty" taking care of Gabi and the kittens until I got back. :)

Anyway, that's our new family. :)

We're probably going to keep one of the kittens, and I'm trying to get my mom to take one. She keeps going back and forth on it, but I think she needs one. My friends may take one, it really depends on if Kitty (another stray / abandoned we caught and who they're keeping for the moment) stays with them or goes with their mom. But if not, I have several people who were interested when we said we'd be having kittens. :)

I'll try to post more updates as they get older. :)

Hi!


Good to see you :) Those kittens are adorable- I love their names too, especially the little black one, Bagheera. Can't wait to see more pics of them. :)
