As we all know, Cats have their own personality and most definitely an attitude.  I have had 3 cats of my own, and I also took care of my mom’s cat and my godson’s cat.  Needless to say, each of those 5 cats have/had their own distinct personality and are/were lovable furballs.  In fact, my two darling furbabies, Cuddles and Kit Kat have started their page.  Please be sure to check out their page.  They would love some friends.  And I heard they are giving out some blog candy of their own, including a special treat to a furry friend follower.




 After Fluffy passed away, I didn't think I would ever get another cat, because well, I never thought I would find such a sweetie as her.  And, I was taking care of my Mom's cat, Tuffy and my godson's cat, Sabrina since neither were able to keep their cats at their homes since they each moved into new places.  But my grandparents' friend who was a vet had some little kittens, and my grandparents told me to go over and pick out one.   Well, I went to the vets, and the vet assistant walked me over to the cage.  As we walked toward the cage, I noticed this white and orange paw reaching out the cage, and this little orange and white kitten.  The tech reached in and picked up the little furball.  She handed her to me and the kitten immediately began licking my nose and giving me kitty kisses as she purred happily.  The tech said she had never done that to them or anyone else.  So, I joke that Cuddles adopted me.  And ever since she has been giving me kitty kisses.   Cuddles is 18 years old.  And I can't even begin to tell you what an absolutely adorable and good natured cat she is.  We have been through alot together and she is my precious furbaby.  She got along great with Tuffy and Sabrina.  The three of them would cuddle.  And after I married, she got a big black lab brother named Brady whom she came to adore.  After Tuffy, Sabrina and Brady passed away, she was lonely. but she still loved cuddling with Mom and Dad.  When she can't find us or her sister, she cries loudly. 

 She loves this easter bunny as it plays the Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail and the eggs opens with a chick popping out.  She sniffs the chick every time.

 She lets Mommy dress her up.

 She loves to cuddle with her Mommy.

 She loves giving her kitty kisses

. And of course, she loves to party!


      A few years after her stroke, my mom moved into her own apartment again.  She had lived with us and she bonded with Cuddles.  So, she was lonely.  One day while at the Vet, I noticed a cat in a cage.   It was up for adoption. Once I picked her up, I knew we needed to adopted her.   The tech told me she had been kept in a cage alot as the previous owner had gone to jail and had a friend watch her, but the friend didn't like cats so the friend eventually tired of caring for her and brought her to the Vet.   So, I got the cat for my mom. .   We named her Kit Kat.  She was 18 months and she a Seal Point Himayalan.  A year later, my mom had to move into assisted living and she couldn't keep Kit Kat.   So, Kit Kat came to live with us.  At first, Kit Kat was standoffish but soon, she was part of the family.  Cuddling with us and Cuddles.  Purring loudly and playing happily.  She still doesn't like loud noises specially firecrackers and thunder.  At first Cuddles pretended not to like her, but soon, they were sisters.  And now, they love to hang out together.  Kit Kat is a sweetie.  She loves her older sister and loves to clean her. She loves sitting in my craft room as I craft.

 She tolerates Mommy putting silly hats on her

Sisterly Love

 My Projects

 I used my Cricut to cut out the Title and Paw.  The Cat was cut with my Sizzix.  Cuddles tolerated me putting Daddy's hats on her and taking her picture.

 

Now, hop on over to Tina at Crafty and Green and see the beautiful creations she has made for the hop.  I want to thank the talented ladies of this hop.  And, Remember, to adopt/rescue a little furry feline friend.
