New Addition
Catchy title huh? Bet I had you going there for a second. :) We do have a new addition to the family,however,it is four-legged and not two. (although I wouldn't mind a new two-legged addition) Anyway,today we brought home a 9 week old baby kitten. She is a beautiful cream color and she is the sweetest cat. She took to us the minute we held her at the pet store. We knew that there was something special about her and we had to have her.
My husband and I both grew up with cats around all the time and figured that since we have a house now we could have a cat. We knew that the kids would love it,too. We didn't tell them that we were going to get a cat so it was a surprise when they got home from school today. Jordan almost broke into tears when he saw her. The girls were ecstatic.
We all decided to name her Tiki. We got the name from a monster on Scooby Doo. Hadlei runs around the house saying "wiki tiki" all the time. When she saw the kitty she said "wiki tiki". So we saw it fitting to name her Tiki. Now that I think about it,I believe my husband had an alterior motive. He is a huge Giants fan and one of his favorite players is Tiki Barber. I'm thinking that's why he pushed for that name for the kitty. He says it's not but I think he's a liar. :)
We couldn't have asked for a better kitten. She is already litter trained which is great. She had no problem finding her box. She meows like crazy if we are out of her sight. She is very playful and gentle. I think she is going to fit in quite well with us. Welcome to the family Tiki!Labels: family, pets
