Frankie began visiting mom’s back porch on Sunday, May 16, 2010 the week our friend Courtney’s wedding. Courtney has a black cat exactly the same color named “Frank” so we affectionately named her “Frankie.”
Two weeks later on Sunday evening, May 30th, Frankie brought her six adorable baby kittens to live at their new home! We estimate they were born sometime around Mothers Day this year.
They are just adorable, and best of all Keith and I adopted our first lil’ baby from this little bunch.
She’s a calico, we named “Mille.” My Aunt Gloria helped me pick the name for her when she visited early in June. We talked about how much Karen would love to see all these kittens on their visit in July. My cousin loved cats, and owned two of them. I know Karen would have enjoyed hearing about my saga with this kitten, and I miss sharing these kinds of moments with her. It has been such a joy to share in Karen’s love for cats, and bring Millie to our home as our first pet.
“Millie baby” is very playful, a social butterfly and has acclimated to our home so well. The first night she was a little bit scared, and cried for a few hours. As long as I was with her she was ok, but when I left she would start crying. That was the only night she did that.
Who said cats were clean? This one is a messy trickster! I cleaned her box, swept up around, and as soon as I finished, she did this, again -
…three times I swept up, then I watched her the third time, as soon as I put the broom away she came running over to her liter box and did this and ran away, as if she were playing with me. I think she just likes to see me get the broom out!
She seems to be really happy with us and we, (meaning Keith) spoil her too much. She loves to sit with me and watches me write, and she has to follow me where ever I go. We just love her already!
My mom still has 4 sweet kittens in Wetumpka, AL, that need a good home, they are just adorable….call me if you are interested: 334.207.2297.
