Our Kitty




We have had a kitty since December 2006. We got him on December 9 at the Humaine Society.


He was with a litter of about 4 other kittens. When we went in, Mark went right over to his kennel and picked him out. He was the only male out of all the kittens. We brought him home that day and he's been with us ever since. He's almost a year old! He was born the first week in September.


His name is Squirt. After the little turtle on Finding Nemo.


He's been such a great pet for our family. When we first got him, I was pregnant with Sydney and not feeling the greatest. He immediatly bonded with Elizabeth. She thought it was the coolest thing in the world that we had a kitten.


They have quite the relationship! He lets her do anything with him. She picks him up, carries him all over, plays with him, reads to him, and she loves to get all quiet and just lie down with him. They're so cute together.


Squirt wasn't so sure about Sydney when we first brought her home from the hospital. He's been so gentle with her and been such a good boy. Sydney loves to look at him and feel his fur.


We love our kitty...even though it seems like he's always overshadowed.


I need to put him in the spotlight sometimes!
