Um, why are baby cats so wonderful and warm and cuddly? That is the question we have to ask ourselves now that we have adopted this:

We knew we would adopt another baby so Knubs would have a play mate- especially when we are both at work, etc. We found a rescue shelter that has a no-kill policy just up the street from us. It was such a great experience that included seeing cats, learning a bit about their personalities and even sitting in the rooms to play. It was heart breaking to see all the cats and doggies without homes and knowing we could only take one. We had seen a picture and read a description of our little girl on the internet. After meeting her, we knew she had to come home with us.

Her name is Omé which means two in Nahuatl. She is our second kitty.

People like to say, “Oh, I’m not a cat person.” Or, “I don’t know how you can like cats. They are so aloof.” The truth is that every cat has its own individual personality and we are so fortunate to have 2 very cuddly cats who love to be held, purr constantly and are very playful. We aren’t ‘cat people’. We just love the two we got.

Knubs cuddling with Allistair. Seriously. So cute.

Our hands before Omé.

It’s a process to get them acclimated to each other but after a few days sequestered and then slowly introducing the cats to each other, we all four are now in the same room with almost no hissing. (The cats. Not the humans. We are still hissing).
