Our new Kitty!

So anyone who knows Jeremy will again wonder what has happened to him. I really like him getting older. He's so much sweeter than he used to be.

A couple of weeks ago this cute kitty jumped up on our brick ledge and meowed in my kitchen window. I went out to see her and saw that she had a collar on. There was no tag though, so I decided to keep her in the back yard for a while and see if anyone lost her.

I asked around, and called our police station and even put her on KSL. But no one claimed her.

One day Jeremy was watching the kids play with her and he told me that that she couldn't come in the house if she hasn't had any shots and she would need to get spayed and I should find a vet.

I was shocked! But so excited. The kids had already gotten attached to her. Kylee started calling her Ginger. She is so sweet and loves the kids. Even Jenna! She has pulled her by the tail a couple of times and she didn't do anything.


Well, a neat thing happened this morning. We hadn't gotten a litter box yet so I had to put her outside again to sleep. I say her this morning before the kids left for school, but when I went to feed her she wasn't here! She must have gotten on the tramp and onto the fence and she was gone! I was so sad. So I decided she couldn't have gone too far, we should go look for her.

Then I realized, like a little kid who lost their shoe, we should pray. So Logan, Jenna and I knelt down and prayed to find our new kitty. Then we walked around our neighborhood. No luck :(

I decided to just go home. Then I looked in the backyard one more time and called her new name, and was in shock when she suddenly was on the fence jumping back in to our yard! We hugged her and knelt right there on the deck to say thank you. It's the first time something like this has ever happened to me. It's so simple, but it was so neat! I know Heavenly Father cares about the little things.

So, today I got a litter box (she obviously has used one before) and tomorrow we are getting shots. (Jeremy let her in when it started raining ;) And next week she will get spayed (for free!) and de-clawed. I just need to get her a name tag with our phone # on it. We don't want to lose our new kitty!
