After years of begging, a letter and then follow-up conversation with our landlords (who live next door) Whitney finally is the proud mama to a kitten she named Junie Rose Stuart.
Whitney combed KSL for free kittens and found "the" perfect kitten (gray stripes). She bought the food, kitty litter, and other necessities and made arrangements for us to pick her up on Friday May 31st (the last day of school).
We kept her in the kids' room for the first 4 days so she could get used to us (she was scared for the first day but warmed up). Then we moved her to the recently cleaned garage.
She is acclimating beautifully and shows jungle cat tendencies (stalking, pouncing, running up trees and so on).
There are so many birds around here that she spends a lot of time looking up.
She's mighty cute.

How could anyone resist that letter?! I love the part about having a clean freak mom; the whole thing is really hysterical. And good for Whitney for taking this on! I wouldn't want a cat but it would be hard to deny her after that letter (and years of begging, I'm sure).
This determination will get her far in life!
I too am so happy for Whitney. It's one thing to want a pet- but a complete different thing to actually make a plan & be willing to pay for it. Good for her for taking on this responsibility. I wish I could say I am a clean freak- nope.
I think she's got a real future- and I am thrilled about her working with the horses! That is wonderful.
Great job Whitney!
That is so exciting for Whitney. I really like your header. It reminds me of all the flags that were in our neighbors yard when the husband came home after being deployed for a year. Hope you are having a wonderful summer vacation.
What a darling little kitty! Add wants another kitten but big tone would not appreciate a new comer.
Yes. Yes she is. Glad you got a kitten.
Junie is precious!
I am so proud of you for saying YES.
And, I am really happy for Whitney.
Everyone needs a kitty {or two}.

Hooray for a dream come true!
You've got to hand it to her for making it happen.
And Junie is mighty cute.
I'm not really a cat person unless they are gray. Then my heart melts.
Congratulations to Whitney!
