Tinkerbelle
Before we built the house Hadley had requested that we get a cat. We told her that we would get one once we were at the new house.
For multiple reasons it didn't happen in the first year we were here. However, it has now happened. We have welcomed Tinkerbelle into our family.
Tinkerbelle was already named but the kids agreed that they wanted to keep the name.
She is a 6 year old indoor/outdoor cat that has been living with my friend Lindsay's parents but they are going on a retirement adventure so they needed a permanent home for their loving cat.
This is where we come in.
She made the drive from Listowel to our house perfectly.
Once we let her out of the cat carrier she explored every nook and cranny in our house, the kids thought this was a very hard game of hide and seek. I think she probably explored all night.
She did eat after a few hours of being at our house and this morning it is clear that she used the litter box. These are good things.
We plan to keep her in the house for a while until she knows this is home.
She is a smokey grey colour and a very affectionate cat. Brian got her to purr last night and Hadley woke us up at 5am to say the cat was purring in her room.
I did hear her meowing a few times in the night. Hadley said she took her to the food this morning when she woke up and she ate some of her breakfast that we left out in her dish.
I bet she will sleep all day today.
Welcome Tinkerbelle.
