Introducing Lola :)

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you already know that I have a new little one in my family. Her name is Lola, and she was a stray kitty that I'd been feeding for some time. She was always so unbelievably friendly with me, that I'm certain she was abandoned. She'd let me carry her, pet her, and weave herself around my legs when she'd see me. When I learned she was declawed I couldn't bear the thought of her living outside and lacking her biggest defense mechanism. How could someone declaw a kitty and then abandon her? The cruelty astounds me.


Anyways, I was perfectly happy with my two little monsters, but I'm even happier now to have Lola, too.  I feel like our little family is now complete. :)








I was talking to Mom one night, and she said I seem to be recreating our pet family from my childhood. We had two male cats (Casper and Tiger) and one female (Stephanie, who was also a rescue!). I hadn't even thought of that, but I think maybe subconsciously I was! We also had a dog, but I don't think I can handle four pets on my own! haha Even a crazy cat lady has her pet-housing limits! ;)



And a couple of funny Sammy pics, just because... 


(doin' some yoga-napping!)





Love you guys (and your pets, too!), and as always, thanks for reading!

xoxo,
<3 Jess
...and Sammy, Mouse, and Lola ;)

  3. You are so sweet for taking her in! When I was still in Fl. I felt like there were a lot of stray cats (have you noticed that?)..I tried to catch this little orange kitten quite a few times, but he was so fast!

  5. Aww, I saw Lola on your youtube :) She seems like such a sweetie and it's so great of you to take her in. She has no claws at all? She could have run into trouble being outside like that.
    That Sammy always gets me! What a little ham - he takes great photos :D

  15. What a sweet little kitty! Lola is absolutely adorable, and she's lucky to have a momma that loves her and takes care of her. I'm a beauty lovin' cat lady, too, so I like it when your cats show up. :)
