Meet Mr. Snowboots!

This little fellow has been living here for a little over a month.  He has brought happiness and laughter into my home--not just for me, but for Toez the Polydactyl Cat.  She thinks he is the best cat toy ever. 

At first I thought Toez would never forgive me for bringing Snowboots into the house.  But now they are good buddies and it is the best thing I could have done for both Toez and for me. 

They play together, give one another baths, and even eat together!  And how they make me laugh.

This morning I awoke with one kitty behind my knees and another against my cheek.  My dear husband would have gotten such a kick out of Mr. Snowboots!  lol  I call him Booters for short.

A friend of mine suggested I get a third cat so I could have Toez, Boots and SOCKS living here! 

Have a beautiful day, sweet Friends.

In a Cat's Eye - Weekend Reflections

This is our precious Toez.  Toezterz the Polydactyl Cat is six months old and full of the dickens.  If you enlarge the picture--look closely--you can see a reflection of my fingers!  It looks like my hands are holding the iris of her eyes.

We are SO thankful for this little companion.  She has filled our home and hearts with laughter and joy.

Toez Has a Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

I was SO happy to discover this permanent little heart on Princess Twinkle Toez the Polydactyl Kitten's paws.  She is the most delightful cat in the world.  Her antics fill our home with laughter.  My husband has taken to calling her "Camo Kitty," because her coloring mimics his camo pants.

Her Heart Shaped Face - Guest Heart Thursday

I suppose after awhile folks will become tired of hearing about Toez the Polydactyl Kitten.  She is such a character.  Yesterday she protected me from a giant spider, about the size of my thumb--by pouncing upon  it, and eating it.  (gulp)  

As you can see, she is an odd little creature.  Her tail is so long and active it reminds me of the Cowardly Lion's tail, as seen in the classic movie The Wizard of Oz.  As a kid, I loved how that appendage seemed to have a mind of its own.  

When Toez sits down, her tail tucks itself up between her cute little feet, where, much to her bright-eyed consternation, it wiggles and waggles against her cheekbones.  Sometimes she gets totally annoyed and goes on a complete rampage trying to catch her tail.  

As you can see, Toez brings so much joy into our lives!

Along with that beautiful heart-shaped face, there are at least four hearts hidden in her fur.  How many can you find?

Big Foot - Guest Heart Thursday

This is a picture of Princess Twinkle Toez--from her foot bottoms.  As you can see, she has  unusual feet.  They look especially funny because the larger toe is on the outside of her foot instead of the inside--so it looks like her legs have her feet on wrong. 

Here's a close up of her back foot.  Can you find the heart?  Because of her unusual toes, she likes to catch things out of the air like she's wearing a catcher's mitt.  She also sits back on her haunches, balancing on those large feet like a tiny squirrel!  

Such a darling little kitty!

Kitten Sly Eye

To all of you who visit this blog, I apologize for being away so long.  My computer had a faulty power supply, which caused the motherboard to fail.  I just received my newly refurbished computer back on Monday.  It is so GREAT to be back.

Two weeks ago, I brought Princess Twinkle Toez home. This darling 3-month old kitten spotted me first, stretching up onto her hind legs to place her unusually shaped feet against the cage.  Then she sat quietly waiting for me to pick her up.  It was love at first sight.

The ladies at the shelter put her into taped box for the ride home--but that didn't last long.  She was VERY unhappy about being closed up in that box.  She put up such a fuss that after a few miles, I pulled over.  I tucked her into the bodice of my dress, where she stayed hidden under my hair, contentedly purring the entire 45-minute ride home.  My husband took one look at her and was quickly bowled over by this tiny whimsical feline.  She instantly knew how to wrap his heart around her little six-toed paw. 

Toez constantly delights us with her quirky personality and funny ways.  Along with those funny feet, she has golden eyes and unusual tortoise shell markings in her fur.  I am sure you will be seeing many more pictures over the years to come.

Friendship

While visiting my sister, I caught this sweet moment between kitten and cat. The beginning of a fine friendship!
