Happy Birthday!!!

(Ok so this is not the actual dress she got for her birthday but it's become my new obsession to get her these pretty little outfits. LOL! Since her birthday she's gotten 3 more and this is one of them)

My tiny wobbly kitten is turning ONE YEAR OLD today!!! Well technically I don't know her exact birthday since she was abandoned as a kitten but we decided Sept 1 will be her birthday :)

She's come a long way from a tiny baby who could barely get up, now walking several steps without falling and using the litterbox almost completely. As I type this she's taking her wobbly steps away from me to find out what her brothers are up to (and some of them knocked her over. Ouch). I still see her as a baby but she's now all grown up now!

We'll have something special to eat in the morning, but as a gift she got a pretty little brown dress that matches her collar. I'm normally think it's ridiculous to put clothes on animals but I just couldn't resist since she always acts like such a spoiled little princess. I'll have to take some photos in the morning but the dress doesn't seem to bother her at all, as if she's been wearing dresses all her life. Now I'll have to get her more, one for every day of the week! LOL!


Happy birthday Roxy, aka "Stinky", aka "Baby", aka "Princess", aka "Pain in the a** (on behalf of my boys). Let us have many many more happy years together :)

Dizzy is back :(

Dizzy was Roxy's (formerly known as "Jello") sister, whom I met when I went to BARC to look for a kitten for my sister. Dizzy was the leaner, more rambunctious, and less affected of the two CH kittens and I ended up adopting the smaller, more wobbly, Roxy. Soon after that, I got the news that Dizzy was also adopted to a loving home and I was so excited for her.

Last week Wobbly Kittens' former foster mommy informed me that Dizzy was back at BARC! I was shocked, heart broken, and saddened by this. I love Roxy SO much, it's impossible to imagine anyone adopting someone like her and then "returning" her as if she was a defective merchandise. I still can't believe it.

I wish I could adopt her, Roxy may or may not enjoy having her sister back, but I just can't do it right now. I hear Dizzy is a wonderfully sweet lady so I hope she'll find a great home very very soon. She's at BARC shelter in Brooklyn so if anyone is interested you should go meet her in person. You'll surely fall in love with this spirited little girl, and if she's ANYTHING like my Roxy you'll experience love like you've never experienced before.
