Adding a Kitten to the Family

We added Peanut to our family this Summer and I thought it was time to give you a little update on him.  He's been an easy addition to the family.  He is so easy going - all the other cats love him.  He brought balance back to our cat crew.  We have Penny & Pearl that are 6 year old sisters.  Then we have Pumpkin and Peanut that are the nicest boys.  Cats really are better in pairs.  Remember that if you are wanting to add a cat to the family.  Two cats mean they have a built in best buddy.  Siblings are great, but we have had good luck with adopting two cats of the same gender that are close in age, too.

Peanut is very curious.

He has the loudest pur ever.

He snuggles with each of us at night.

He hears my alarm clock go off and is the first to greet me goodmorning.

He carries toys around in his mouth.

He's been an easy addition to the family.

Penny - we call her a weighted blanket because if you sit down, she wants to be on your lap.  She's very sweet and snuggly.

Pearl - is a little rude, harder to get along with, sleeps with me every night and loves Kevin the most.  She also picks fights with everyone.

Pumpkin - the sweetest, fluff.  He needs about 20 hours of sleep a day to maintain his fluffiness.  When he's awake, he's curious about everything.  He's also afraid of anyone that doesn't live at our house.

Peanut - always out and about.  Is curious, has been known to climb curtains and he's always on the go.  His BFF is Pumpkin.

We started out with separate food bowls and litter boxes, but now we have community ones.  They all share a food and water bowl.  Then we have several litter boxes for them.

He's growing like crazy.

He loves rugs and we often find him under or rolling around in a rug.  If only he could flatten them back out when he's done playing.

A basket of cats.  He and Pumpkin are best buds.

Curious.

Cat sweaters aren't his favorite, but he's a good sport.

We're thankful Peanut joined the family!
