New Edition... Louee!

So back when Chris and I first started dating, He was new to the cat thing. He was never really raised with any animals except rabbits, and they lived in California so they were outside. He was kinda wierd about Dru and Pugslee for a while. I told him The boys and I were a package deal, as I had had Pugslee my entire adult life and got Dru only 2 years after Pugslee. He said that was fine, but, if I got any more animals that he would leave me. Well after 5 years, there is so much love in his heart for animals and he never realized the bond you could form, and that they could be part of your family. So for a couple months HE was begging me for a kitten. I kept telling him that kittens are so much work, and he kept begging.

Well Margie's cat Shirlee just had a litter of kittens and Sue had taken pictures and sent them, she was having a hard time finding homes for them. So I told him if he truely wanted a kitten to pick one from her litter, and so he chose a square short haired white kitten with blue eyes.

So we told Margie we wanted this one and she found home for all but the white one and a little gray calico. We so weren't agreeing on names, and then during a conversation with Kellie the name just hit me. Louee. It has special meaning as my mom's middle name was Lou. So we decided that at Thanksgiving we would pick him up. But Margie couldn't find a home for one she was calling birtha.. so I placed an ad on KSL and had a home for her in less than 2 hours.

I would pick her up with Louee and bring her to her to her new home. She was to be a little girls Christmas present. Well we met Louee and Birtha, and they instantly loved me. love at first sight. Chris and I fell inlove with Birtha too we so wanted to keep her. But her new owners were eager to met her so we had to give her up.

One thing for sure, Chris was not prepared for how much work Louee would be. We are primed for actual kids now to say the least. he said he now understands why people say "they're cuter when they're asleep!" LOL
Little Louee ( though he's not so little.. Biggest kitten I've ever seen)
