Oh my, now I've done it! Remember the other day when I took the kids to the BooBoo Zoo? How I commented that it's a place sure to open one's heart? Well, whatever magic it is that they brew down there worked! While we were there we met this little kitty... awww ain't she cuuute! So cute in fact, I couldn't get her out of my mind! The way she looked at me, the way she played with us... I was spellbound, I tell ya... I was hooked! My husband said to sleep on it, but it was all too late... I fell in love the moment I met her.
We named her Isabelle... "Izzy" or "Bella" depending on who you talk to. She was found as a (very little) kitten out in Hana, a remote area on the east end of the island. Sadly though she was missing a leg. We are all guessing it was a rat or a mongoose that did it. Anyway, when it became apparent she needed more medical attention, they dropped her off at the refuge. She had the most pathetic looking bandage on her stump! I just crumbled when I saw this tiny kitty wrapped up like a wounded soldier.
Our house is filled with giggles now that she is here... "It's just what our family needed," was what my daughter said. I'm not sure about that, we don't actually "need" anything, especially another critter, but just the same, I am glad she's come into our lives. Even the dog can't take her eyes off her.
I'm afraid I've really done it now; I've joined the ranks of other bloggers writing about cute little kitties. I swore I would never go there! As a result, I think I just lost my last male viewer! I'll have to "man-it-up" somehow... talk about guy-stuff, scratch some unmentionables and swear a little. Maybe I'll drink a beer out of the bottle or something. For now though, just know we are all in love with this crazy-little, sideways-walking, finger-attacking, 5 a.m. rising, bundle of energy.
Tomorrow, I promise to show you what I've done this week! I'm sure you will like it!

Kitty, puppy, birdy, they all go with quilting, especially the rescued ones. Bravo, Robin. Izzy just came up smilling like a pretty rose. She is so lucky.

So glad this little one has found a good home! How sad to think she could have been 'lost'...thankfully her owners did the right thing and so did you!! Look forward to updates!
Robin, my daughter Steph had a 3-legged cat due to an unfortunate accident involving a chain link fence. Chester is the most amazing cat. Kudos to you and your family for adopting her.
Give her an eye patch and a wooden peg leg, and you'll get your male viewers. Make the peg leg into a thumb drive, and you'll get tons of viewers. "Kitteh 2.0!"
Aw, who could resist that cute bundle of fur! I am so glad Izzy/Bella came to live with you. It warms my heart to see an animal find a loving home. Have a beautiful weekend.(By the way, my hubby was a dog person until he found out how much love a lonely cat can share.)
Just be sure to alternate kitty picture's with hubby's lathe and I'm sure you'll be just fine. ;-)
Oh, I just read my hubby's comment -- that's probably a better idea. ;-)
Congratulations! We got our first kittens a year ago, and we already had 4 dogs, and an african gray parrot. Crazy? Yes. But I don't know how we could ever live without our cats. Enjoy.
What a lucky kitty to find a home with you. Any man who can't take a little cute kitty talk doesn't belong here anyway. Good luck with Izzy.
cute cute cute kitty. what a sweetie - so glad she found a home. welcome to kitty/quilt blogging!
Even if you've lost your last male visitor, you got another cat-crazy quilter from abroad. We have four furry friends, and my husband's first job in the morning is to hug them all and feed them. Only the years with our white and deaf Persian were a bit complicated, because "Gandalf" used to walk in eights around my husband's legs on days when Michael had to serve as regristrar .......
