Arrival Story: I knew about Abby shortly after she was born, but I didn't know she was destined to be our cat. A lady at my work named Colleen had a mom cat who had 5 kittens. Colleen told me about her cat's unintended "teenage" pregnacy , and sent photos right after the kittens were born . I thought we were all cute and watched them grow through the photos Colleen passed along. When the kittens were old enough for new homes I let people who might want a kitten know, but none of them were ready for a new cat at that time. And neither were we then, since Muffin was so elderly I did not want to annoy her with a new kitten, plus our 4 cats seemed so prefect together . But the kittens stayed in my mind, something beyond the kitten cuteness.
Sadly in late August our beloved Muffin went to the rainbow bridge . I sent Colleen an e-mail to see if all the kittens had found forever homes, expecting her to say they had, but she sent back a photo of the one she called Miss Priss. I sent the photo on to my husband, Chris, and he thought this kitten looked like she belonged with us, so I told Colleen we would like to take her home amd make her part of our family. Colleen said that night she told "Miss Priss" that we were going to adopt her. Later that week when we met Abby she immediately purred and was so loving , a true doll, she snuggled with Chris. A daddy's girl! Then as we were holding her and playing with her dragonflies began to swarm above us! Beautiful huge ones! We knew then that Abby was truly meant to be our cat, as if the sweetness and purring did not already show us that... Another Dragonfly miracle! Look at Maggie's page for the explanation of the original dragonfly miracle.
We look forward to many wonderful years with Abby as she grows into a special and beautiful companion. It was love at first sight....
Bio: Abby has only been with us for a short time, so she is like an unread book- so much to learn about her as she grows. For now she is a delightful little soul, exceedingly sweet and gentle. She is very people oriented and absolutely loves her Daddy. For now she is still scared of Loki, Maggie and Kiwi, she hisses and growls at them, then they of course feel obliged to hiss back. But Loki is making some progress with her. She isn't hissing at him so much now and he is trying to make friends with her.
Right now she doesn't play much, but I'm sure that will change as she becomes used to her new home. She gets braver each day as she explores her new world.
Update- after just a few days Abby has fit right in and Loki, Maggie and Kiwi seem to like her just fine! She acts like she has been here forever already.
By the way she has copper eyes!
7 months: Abby has grown ! what a sweet, gentle beauty she is. Everyday I am thankful she came into our lives. She has developed such and amazingly sweet personality and gets along so well with everyone!
1 year- Abby has grown into a wonderful cat. She is still so very sweet. She loves to snuggle and her purr is super loud. She is still a "daddy's girl", and is quite bonded to Loki. She is not very big, and when she stands next to maggie and Loki she looks tiny!
She's been with us for a whole year now. She is a treasure, so full of love. Playful and funny. She's really filled out a lot, she's got a cobby little body :-)
