A new addition to our family...


We have taken in a kitten. We went to a friends' house a couple weeks ago and another friend that came had found this poor little kitten along side the road. He's allergic, but he brought her to the party since our friends Marni and Mark have 6 cats already- in the hopes that they could at least keep her warm. Well, everyone at the party was passing the kitty around and Hollie grew especially attached (and so did Byron). So, long story short- we brought the baby kitty home with us. We think she was about 5-6 weeks, the vet said since she was only 1lb and her teeth are still developing. So we've been making her the special kitten powder formula and cereal, and she gradually eating more kibble food. The vet had told us that Izzy probably needed another cat around for company, so now he has a little friend. After the first day of confusion for Izzy, they hit it off after he realized that he is bigger- and the only threat from the baby is her uncontrollable use of claws when they play... but Izzy has become fond of her. Now they curl up together and lick each other.



You're probably wondering what we named her. After thinking up a couple names, the one that stuck was Tibby... like tabby cause she has gray stripes. But it's also Tibby because our friends Mark and Marni, who had the party- they're last name is Tiborsky. We'll always remember how the kitty found us...

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We have one more precious thing to be thankful for!!!
