The Ditty

Oh, what a sweet kitty. And sweet story. I had a dog named RObin from the time I was born until I was 13. I remember my mom was having trouble finding just the right gift for my step brother one year. She found these little terriers that were so cute. She picked out one. It started raining and she brought it home in her coat. Ofcourse it was supposed to be for my step brother but it was her dog from the first. LOL

AW, just adorable. He looks a lot like our foster kitten, Ernie. He got adopted a couple of weeks ago.

That is so cool. It would be hard to say no to a pet that takes to a little one the way that Ditty took to your baby. And one year old now - cool! I love hearing about animals and kids, so keep the cute stories coming!

Oh, that is adorable! I love how children and pets seem to have a natural bond and understanding of each other ... at least in many cases they do. I also like how the kitten seemed to choose your daughter as his own. That is how we got a few of our animals - we did not choose them but rather they chose us. I think that bond is precious and wonderful, although as you say it can be quite messy and mischievous as well. They seem to be a perfect fit.

I guess the old saying is true. Cats chose us, we don't chose them. She's going to have a friend for life, and while a cat wasn't in your plans... it's a good thing for her. Having a pet is proven to be very healthy and will help her in the long run because it already loves her. When she gets older, she'll learn to take care of it, but for now It's cute to just let them have their fun. I just love animal rescue stories.

Such a sweet story! Thats about how I come to get Tink which you may have seen him in pictures on some of my discussions in cats. He was 5 weeks old, and only supposed to come to the Vets office for a bath and then on to Humane Society. I was peering in the crate and the groomer there said you know you need another pet. I said yea like a hole in the head. We laughed. Well come down to him and his 4 siblings were sick. So Doc had to keep them. I was torn between picking him and his sister a snowshoe looking cat. I finally decided on him because he looks siamese a lot but the very tip of his tail is completely white. I told the groomer I would take him. So I got to make a kennel just for him and get a kitty bed, toys etc. He knew my voice I volunteered the whole time he was sick to clean out kennels and spend time with him. He is now such a suck up kitty and acts more like a dog than a cat. I know what you mean I had a chihuahua previously that passed and my husband SAID he hated cats. But I notice him play with them from time to time. I think people dislike something when they don't really know about them. But with my illnesses he did say he knows Tink is a lot of company for me when he is gone to work. When I am setting he barely leaves my lap! Good Luck on the new addition.
