Thankful Thursday: Tika

This little girl showed up on a board friend's front porch last week:

Isn't she a beauty? The lady fed her and to make a long story short, she ended up bringing her inside. A visit to the vet determined that she was healthy, but very, very thin. You can see that it the following pictures:

Her estimated age is 8 to 12 months. The vet said she has all of her adult teeth. She is also quite friendly, so she has had contact with humans. She may have been dumped or left behind. But she has now found her forever home.

Her new mom has named her Tika. We know she has a new brother and sister, but we don't know if they have been introduced yet.

We are thankful that Tika has found her home and will no longer be living on the streets. And we know she is thankful too.

Throwback Thursday AND Thankful Thursday

I decided to combine Throwback Thursday and Thankful Thursday together today. The "throwback" part comes from the "baby" pictures that mom found from my "Gotcha Day." Mom went to an outdoor gathering for the Kentucky Humane Society to look for a dog and she came home with me! I was 8 weeks old and I had a runny eye and I kept sneezing! I was on an antibiotic for a couple of weeks and I was treated for fleas a few weeks later.

The "thankful" part is because I'm so thankful that I ended up with a great forever home with mom and all of my brothers and sisters. But for the first year I was in my home, I was the only cat.

My Gotcha Day anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks. These pictures are from August 27, 2000. Mom said she can hardly believe that I've been with her for 14 years.

 And this is what I look like now! Mom should have saved this picture for Whiskerhump Wednesday!

Thankful Thursday: Naps

Memphis here! We are all thankful for naps. It doesn't matter where we nap as long as we have a comfortable place to lay our furry heads. That's me napping in mom's bed. I covered myself up like that!
