New Kitty!!!!!!

Please forgive the pixely pictures -- I could not wait the length of time it takes our camera batteries to charge, and had to resort to using the computer camera. Introducing the newest family member of our household... TONKA!


She's giving you the squinty eye! ...Doesn't she kind of look like a little gray fox?

We adopted Tonka a week ago from Meow Cat Rescue. Her mother was abandoned while pregnant and gave birth at the shelter, so 6-month-old Tonka has spent her entire life in the shelter's care. I think this environment did her some good -- she seems really comfortable with new people. She fell asleep in my arms the first time I met her! Tonka follows us around the apartment and cuddles next to me on the bed. Her favorite places are in my closet (hiding in my clothes) and under the bathtub. Her favorite toy is the laser pointer -- She gets really excited whenever she hears the button for the laser click or hears the keychain jingle on the pointer. She loves having her belly scratched.



Belly shot!!

(Ain't she beautiful??)
