It's a Girl!

Just when we thought our family was complete a new little girl came into our life. Her name is Nessa. She is a 2 month old blue-point Siamese (probably a little tabby in her too). She's a sweet cat.



I found Nessa in a nearby parking lot. I tried getting her one night with no luck, went back a second night with no luck. But, the third time was a charm! She was skiddish at first, but got over that as soon as she was inside a warm house with good food, no more eating out of the Taco Bell dumpster!

For those of you wondering where the name comes from it's a Character from the Book/Musical "Wicked". Nessa is the sister of the main character. Actually, Nessa is the Wicked Witch of the East (you know, the one who had the house dropped on her -- but she was deeply misunderstood).


As you can imagine the kids are thrilled! Isabelle keeps saying, "I can't believe I have a kitten". Isabelle has been calling all her friends to come meet Nessa.


She's very playful. But, all that playing can wear one out. On the left she had fallen asleep right in the middle of chasing that string. The kids give her a good workout. She is the perfect balance of cuddly and playful.


Nessa is unbelievably tolerant. She lets the kids pick her up, carry her around, and generally just obsess over her. I think she's going to fit well into our crazy household.

Oh, and isn't she adorable!
