The Tale of Two Katies

This is my "Katie" (Sara Katlynn). She turns 10 years old in a couple of weeks. For the last couple of years, my Katie has been begging for a kitten. The rules were very clear. Keep your room clean, do your chores, and you'll prove you're responsible enough for a kitten... up until now, she'd not been able to make the cut.



This is "Katie" - at least that's what her collar said. She's 11 weeks old, and up until last Wednesday, she was a resident at the Humane Society's Adopt-a-Pet center on Bearden Hill.



Katie became Katie's Christmas present this year (and yes, she got it early - how do you hide an 11-week-old kitten???). When we gave Katie the kitten, we told her that she could rename her, but my Katie wouldn't hear of it. No, the cat's name was "Katie" - and she was dubbed "Katie Kat Armstrong" the first day she had her.



While Katie has been a sweet, sweet kitten (very loving), she is still definitely all kitten. While bored, she tried to undecorate the lower part of our Christmas tree. And, just the other morning (at 6am), she obviously needed my attention, because she got it by climbing the curtains in my bedroom, and when she was caught, she just looked at me while she hung there as if to say, "What?"



It's been a very Merry Christmas for the two Katies so far. Merry Christmas to all of you.
