Everybody Wants To Be A Cat

(According to the movie Aristocats)

But seriously, cats have it pretty awesome- sleep all day, play all night, lounge here, eat there, wander some, eat some more and then spend the evening cuddling :) We have loved having Betty Winter in our family. She is the best little kitty. She is so easy going and puts up with A LOT from all the kids (ours plus the neighbor's plus random neighborhood kids that stop by asking to play with the kitty). She always wants to be around people and follows us around the house like a little puppy dog. And she's a great cuddler- she'll sit on our laps anytime we'll let her and just hang out and/or nap. She's very sweet. We just started letting her outside and she loves it- she never goes far and then comes and sits by the door when she's ready to come back in. We thought we'd make her an outdoor cat when we first bought her but we love having her around the house so now I'm not so sure. I need to decide soon though as she needs to be declawed if we're going to keep her indoors- our leather couch is not claw-friendly :( We do love her though and are still very glad we brought her home.

A few pics of our new kitty over the last 2 months (as you can see, I must think she's looking her cutest when she's sleeping):


Snoozing in the laundry baskets is (was) one of her favs. I've since had to put them in another room- it just doesn't seem right to let her lounge on our laundry, even if it is already dirty and about to be washed, you never know how much your washer really washes cat hair off. But still its a cute pic :)
Hanging out in Lola's big girl potty. Again, another thing I have to keep her away from as I don't want poor Lolie sitting on any cat hair in the event she decides to use said potty someday :)
Betty's newest favorite spot- Lola's old baby bumbo seat. She loves to curl up inside of it and take her little cat-naps in it.

What's not to love about a cat with the name Betty Winter! That's hilarious. I think those are two lucky little girls to have such a cute little cat!
