Here are some photos of our new little cat, Jade. After
our 18 1/2 -year -old black and white cat, Pepper, passed away a year
ago in February, we didn’t know for sure if we wanted another
pet. But after over a year of not having a “little one” running
around the house, we felt it was time to adopt another. A friend
told us that their family needed to find a new home for their 8 -month-
old black and white cat, Boo, and asked if we would be interested in
taking her. After seeing Boo, we decided the answer was “yes”.
With a new home, Boo also got a new name. She is a gentle -natured,
affectionate little lady, with the triangular -shaped face, large ears,
and delicate, long, lean build of an oriental breed. “Jade” seemed just
the right name for her. We have three large
hydrangea bushes, one in the front yard and two in the back. They are
beautiful when in bloom, and I often bring flowers from them into the
house.
The first photo is of happy Jade, tail up, with a vase of hydrangeas.
On the second, she has decided to lie down on the table.
The third photo
is of me on my favorite rocker, with Jade on my lap. (her favorite
place; she is a lap-cat for sure; just what I wanted! She has been
trying to “help” me type this article and is not pleased when I pay
more attention to the keyboard than to her.) It is a little difficult
to see her on the photo with her head down like that. All the black fur
blends together.
The fourth picture was taken while she was on our living room rocker.
The fifth
is of her smelling the petunias on our back porch. (She’s just now
decided to stop prowling around the computer desk and is lying with her
paws on the mouse pad. Maybe she wanted to type this article herself,
and I was getting in her way! :-) |
