Kitty Haven

September 7th, 2008

The part about the adorable, cute as a button, little bundle of fur that Michael didn’t mention was that this makes our official cat total at 5 and unofficial at 6.  We have also recently adopted 3 kittens from my mom after a stray that she has been taking care of had babies in her lap.  She was going to keep them, but her neighbor called animal control on them, so they came to live with us.  We don’t really have any neighbors.  Those 3 stay outdoors and then we have a 12 year-old cat that stays indoors.  He is the only one that is not happy about our new addition.  And last, there is a stray that occassionaly comes up to eat, but I don’t really claim him.

Harley is making herself at home and is sleeping right next to mine or Mike’s neck.  She purrs and curls up and falls asleep.  Then at 2am she is wanting to be fed.  Now I have 2 babies asking for food in the middle of the night.

This afternoon she took a flying plunge from the second floor onto Camden who was minding his own business and eating his lunch.  I think that she was attracted to his hot dog.  I was in the kitchen with him when I heard a loud thump, then his plate flying onto the floor, and Camden screeching.  It took me a second to notice the cat in his lap and I was afraid that (1) she had scratched him badly in her landing and (2) that she had hurt herself.  After further review all were OK, just a little shaken.  Wouldn’t you be if a cat fell from the heavens into your lunch?

This is the life…  :)
