A new addition to the family

Note: If you have kittens that need to be adopted --- just place their crate outside of a little girl dance class.

We fell in love and now have Skittles!!!! Skittles is 13.5 weeks old and is as cute and energetic as the pictures show. She may be a little overwhelmed in that she has had several names in the past few days. "Skitty", "Callie" and "Rainbow" where tried out. In fact MG still calls her "Rainbow". We wanted a board game type name....similar to Checkers.....but nothing fit and Skittles is a Rainbow of colors.
Checkers is slowly warming up to her....and today is quite indifferent. This is a good sign that soon she will be loving her as much as Dustie who died last year. We feel it is best for Checkers to not be alone on long weekend trips home and Checkers was my Mom's cat and I honestly worry about how I will handle her leaving us someday. She is slowing down and I'm hoping Skittles will keep her active.
This week Shark boy's interest has been on cats and not snakes......2 cat books came home today from the school libary. YEAH!! (I was getting cross eyed focusing on just the words on the snake books to avoid looking at any pictures!)
