Meet the newest Buckley


So here is something I thought would never happen in a million years... we got a cat. It took me completely by surprise. John has been telling me since the day we met how much he dislikes cats, yet it was his decision to get her. She is the cutest, sweetest little thing. She just loves to curl up in your lap and be petted. So here is how our newest edition joined our happy little family. John’s boss and his family were at his parents’ house when this little kitten came up to them. When they went to a neighbor‘s house trying to find where the cat belonged, they found the mother and a sibling on the side of the road. Not being able to take the cat in themselves because his wife is allergic, they put it in a carrier and left it by a tree hoping the owner might come looking for it. When they came back the next day there were two other kittens laying next to the carrier. After that they felt they had to take them in a find them good homes. At first, I have to admit I thought John was messing with me about getting a cat but he wasn’t. The kids love her. They are constantly looking for her and petting her. Roman is still learning how to be gentle, he keeps pulling her tail. He loves chasing her around and talking to her. She isn’t the most playful thing but she is very affectionate. She follows us around the house meowing and has slept next to me every night since bringing her home. We haven’t been able to come up with a name for her yet, so if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE share them. I’ve been calling her Kitty for the time being. Looks like our family just got a little bigger…
