The Newest Addition

We were recently adopted by a stray kitten. It had been hanging around the house for a while and Zoe latched onto it like she never has before. She started referring to it as "my kitty" so when we couldn't find anyone to claim her, we took the plunge and became cat owners. Eek.


We're actually loving it. The kitty - Flash, or "Flashaveema" (as Zoe has chosen to call her) - is so sweet. She lets Zoe carry her around all day and tolerates all of Owen's poking, pinching, grabbing, and yelling with no hissing or scratching. We all really love having the kitty in our family. At nearly every prayer, no matter who is saying it, Owen always adds "kitty, and kitty's food, and kitty's milk" to the things we are thankful for.


It's also been really good for Zoe - learning how to care for and feed her, and talking about what the kitty likes and needs. It really feels like this cat was meant to be in our lives at this time.
