Arrival Story: We adopted Luke and Tully from Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty (IBOK) Rescue on October 18, 2008. I had just lost my 9 year old tuxedo kitty, Carlos, who died very quickly and suddenly from lymphoma and the house was just not the same without a cat. I immediately started searching for another cat on Petfinder and found Luke and Tully who were 7 months old at the time. Their foster Mom wanted them adopted as a pair. She brought them over to our house to meet us in early October and I thought they were the perfect pair. My husband and I were getting ready to leave town for a much needed vacation, so I told their foster Mom, Laurie, that we would contact her once we got back. I thought about them the entire week we were gone, and drove over to the adoption fair near our house once we got back and brought them home. They are an inseparable pair and I can't imagine having one without the other. I call them my "puppy cats" as they both seem to have a lot of dog-like qualities. Luke will fetch things in his mouth and likes to play catch. Tully follows me around the house and sticks to me like glue. He's very much a Mama's boy.

Hard to believe that a week ago today I was soaking up the sunshine and strolling with my bro, Tully, around the neighborhood in our pet stroller. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and it was just like a beautiful spring day.
Right now the rain is pouring down, so we’ll be indoors all day. The kittens are already curled up on their favorite chair for their mid-morning naps and Tully is napping near Mom in his favorite spot. We see on the television that our friends living in the Mid-Atlantic States are entrenched in another major snowstorm, so I really can’t complain too much about our rain. We just read in our friend Spa’s diary that the snow is coming down hard and fast at Calico Junction in Virginia. Our pal Kibbles wrote that they received 22 inches of snow overnight in Maryland and the snow is still coming down.
Yeah, the rain is a bit inconvenient, but being snowed in doesn’t sound too fun either. I guess East Coast kitties have to keep their pantries stocked with plenty of cat food in case they can’t get to the store during a storm. Running out of cat food would be considered a major crisis in this house.
So I won’t complain too much about our rain, and we’ll purr that all our friends stay safe and warm during this intense winter storm.
After what feels like weeks and weeks of clouds, grey skies, and rain, rain, rain, the sun is here today – woohoo! I almost forgot what the sun looks like.
The birds are singing and eating birdseed at the feeder on the front porch. The squirrels are digging up Mom’s lawn and plants again and burying nuts because the ground is so soft and muddy – it looks like spring is just around the corner.
I’m going to find me a sunny spot on one of the cat perches and stretch out for a long sunshine nap – sun, sun, sun, here it comes…
I have something rather embarrassing to confess. The little girl kitten that moved into our house a few weeks ago, Natasha, seems to think I am…her Mom!
She follows me all over the house. She even hops into my cat bed with me…what the??? I almost hissed at her, and then I reminded myself that she’s only a kitten. This poor little thing was tossed in a dumpster when she was only 4 weeks old. I guess she didn’t know her Mommy for very long. She seems to really like me. Poor kid – I give her a few licks every now and then, it seems to give her comfort. Tully and I were abandoned as kittens, so I know how she feels.
Don’t tell anyone, it’s all a little embarrassing. I don’t want to be known as her Momcat. She’s a good little kid. I’m going to be her older protective brother and look out for her. But her brother, Sammy, now that’s another story!
