Kitty Sitting



For this next week I will be taking care of my my friend, Liz's kitties while she and her family are in Michigan. Their names are Trouble and Killala (I hope that's how you spell it). They are sweet little darlings but they have quite the appetite. When I was at my friends house trouble would hardly look up from the food bowl. LOL. Man they have grown up so fast!
I remember the day Liz decided which kitten of the litter Liz wanted. There was a cute orange male, two darling gray females whom they called "the gray matter", and there might have been more but, There was also the most adorable little stripy calico cat. Liz picked the calico cat as soon as she saw the shy little kitten. Killala is such a sweet cat, she very patient and loving. A wonderful quality for a mother. Its a good thing too, because near the same time as her first birthday, her five beautiful kittens were born. She was quite young to be a mother but she was a very loving mother. Even if she had practically her whole baby's head in her mouth instead of the scruff. :D. Anyways so yes Trouble was one of the kittens of Killala's litter she had three brothers, Tiger (named because he was orange), Midnight (named because he was black), and Louie (named because we liked that name). And she had one sister who was named Callin because she was always the loudest and was always callin' for her mom. Trouble obviously was always a bit troublesome. I helped Liz name them when they were only a couple days old. They were no bigger than mice and their eyes hadn't even opened. Liz had a pretty little coller and she said "whoever is out of this closet first gets this!" so we lifted little Louie with a rag and held him maybe an inch out of the closet. When they got a little older they would hide underneath Lizzy's bed and when we sit down they attack our toes. Eventually I learned to jump on liz's bed so they couldn't attack. Ha! The memories. Any ways so as you can see in the pic. it is Trouble who really has an appetite. I'll enjoy taking care of those cats. BYAS!
