Katandra Shanel's Blog: Life Is Just Awful. Ain't It? - Posts Tagged "kitten"

A few weeks ago we added a new member to the family. Totaling the household at 2 adults, 3 children, and 2 cat kids. A Little Boy, Lost & All Alone. I just had to take him in. The sweetest darling thing. I spotted him almost immediately and i'll never forget the exact date... July 5, 2011. The day after Independance Day. The family had just returned to Atlanta from a very long vacation. There was a ball of black fluff under the tire of my neighbors car. As I turned the engine off, the tiny mass looked up at me with the saddest eyes. I got out very slow as not to frighten him which was not an easy feat seeing how the children absolutely adore animals. The closer I got I could see the emerald green of his eyes, the long wirey hair so different from Justice's thick soft double coat, and the darndest thing... ear tufts like a lynx or a bobcat! A mixed breed or hybrid? In Atlanta? More specifically in South Atlanta... I doubted very seriously. I approached quietly but swiftly and wrapped the kitten up in my fiances shirt. Before I could make it up the stairs good I could literally see the fleas 'crawling' all over him. Ewwww. But as grossed out as I was and despite a new case of heeby jeebies, I hug the kitten a little closer. He had found a new family or rather, a new family had found him and I intended to shower him with love and flea shampoo. I ignored the threatening allergies as I settled him in and began thinking of names. An ongoing joke in our home, i'm the Royal Namer. Lol. So after much thinking and consideration I decided what better name for Justice Mackenzie's new cat brother than Lincoln, as in Abe. We call him Lynx for short on account of those white ear tuft. And the name fits better than the formal. He is one wild kitty but we love him.
