It's a Gurl!

We have a new addition to our family. She is a 7 week old female, long-haired, blue/green eyed, orange tiger stripped cutie. Not sure on a name yet. MaryJane has been coming up w/ a lot of ideas. The first idea came before we even got her; Prisa, some others are Curly Fry and Scratchy, and the most popular is Wet Nose. hehe. Ok...before i go forward let me go back a bit. As you know we have our gurl ShoSho at the house and poor thing is so lonely. Shes there all alone all day every week day and as soon as you come home she is rubbing up against you wanting affection (or food). MaryJane and I do not give her as much attention as she need to boot. So i thought why not get a kitten to keep her company, plus i new MaryJane would love having a baby kitten to play w/ and raise. Well, I introduced the idea to MaryJane and she did not want to do it. We think alot of her decision was based on her not wanting kittens to be away from there mommy, but Jess and I both talked to her about that and although i still dont think she likes the idea of them being separated she understands and is accepting. So i was checking the classifieds here at work Monday and came across an orange girl kitten, a rarity and exactly what MaryJane would want, if she wanted a kitten. She still didnt want to get it, but i disobeyed and set up a meeting to get it last night. She wasnt to sure about going to get it at first, but as we got the time to get it got closer and closer she became more and more excited. it went from "why did you disobey me" to "is it the orange one" (yes i replied) "yea"; "is it a gurl" (again yes) "yea" to her wanting to hold the carrier on the way home (which she didnt get to do; its a beast) to this....
Twins! Yes, on the way there we were talking about the kittens eyes and M.J. said they were twins. Funny cause when we got there the on so very nice lady we got her from said they were twins cause of there eyes too. how krazy kool. ...oh and not only the eyes, but the energy....they both have practically unlimited amounts of it. MaryJane and her had the best time playing with the catfish pole; M.J. was busting up and the kitten was busting a move. Bedtime did come and MaryJane was very please when the fuzz ball curled up next to her....that is until someone came in a disturbed them. So that brings me back to the original reason i wanted to get that darn cat (great movie by the way), to keep someone company...well, so far it seems she dosent want company, which i really did expect. It know will take her some time to get used to sharing her territory w/ that little rascal, but once she does they will bond and be the best of friends, but for know its been sit back and watch and if you get to close to me...hiss hiss.
So this morning we were awoken by the kitten a little after 6 AM, and M.J. and her were back at the fishing pole minutes later. They got a little more play time and petting time in this morning and M.J. exclaimed how "adorable" she was a dozen times or more, one time even thru song. She loves her new little friend and i know her little friend certainly loves her.
