No-Name Kitteh Has a Name!

Hubby and I both loved many of the names you submitted, my bloggy friends.... but it seems we keep calling her crazy cat (because she is!) and so her abbreviated name shall be CiCi. Or CeeCee. You know, just a more creative take on plain ole C.C.

{I'm still going to draw a name for the strawberry jam....

I'll announce a winner in a few days!!}

under the bed, stalking Tori

It's a month today since I picked her up by the side of the road. She's growing like a weed... I'm always amazed at how quickly kittehs and puppehs grow into adult pets. You really have to take the time to appreciate and play with them while they are little because those days sure fly by.

where did Tori go??!

Tori is definitely her favorite playmate, and let me tell you, they play ROUGH.... I tried to capture some photos of them playing this morning. It's really hard to get a good photo of them, because they fly around the bedroom, with Tori chasing CiCi until she runs under the bed. I tucked the dust ruffle up under the mattress but it was still difficult to get active photographs. Finally CiCi ran under the rocking chair, so I did manage a few photos. (One of these days I'm going to get a video camera, but regretfully not before Miss CiCi is all grown up.)

oops, Tori has a lil bit of red-eye here...
or is that her devil-eye??

yes, even kittehs have bad photo days

Remember to take a few minutes, or hours,

and enjoy your pets this week!!!

What Miss CiCi was doing while I wrote this post..... 
notice the look of pure innocence.

But the evidence proves otherwise.

 

A Garden, A Kitty and Some Strawberry Jam

Thursday July 1, 2010

Tuesday July 6, 2010

Hard to believe what a difference only 5 days can make.  You can see the cucumbers have spilled out into the open spaces on either side of them (top, 3rd row from right).  Looks like we'll be getting cukes in the next few weeks or so, as there are yellow flowers sprouting everywhere.

Tomato and pepper plants are growing like crazy, and the radishes (row next to the tomato plants, left side of garden) are ready to be picked faster than we can eat them... and since I'm not a radish fan, that means they are getting sliced up into hubby's salad.  I picked about two dozen radishes last week and took them to work, but there's a fresh new batch just waiting to be picked right now.  Once the radishes are finished, we'll be putting in lettuce. YUM.

And here are some new pics of the kitten... she is growing so fast, as kittens do.  And she has NO FEAR of any of our dogs.  She loves playing with all 3 of them, but seems to favor Tori, probably because Tori reciprocates.  The kitten loves to run under the bed, and then lay upside down, halfway out from under the bed, grabbing Tori's nose and face, and batting at her.  It's absolutely hysterical to watch.  (And difficult to photograph!)

She is still quite nameless.  We contemplated Molly, but then decided not to use that name, as my son and daughter-in-law may still use that name for a future baby.  So we're not sure what we're going to name her now... any suggestions??!

How's this... if you suggest a name for the kitteh, and we use that name, I will send you one jar of my strawberry jam!

I hope that everyone is having a lovely summer so far... we've still got two more months of heat to endure.  Then my favorite season... autumn!!
