Oh No He Didn't!!

I am at work on Friday
totally minding my own business
working.....
I get a call from Cameron..
Mom, I was on my way to baseball practice and there was "something" in the road
I stopped but it wouldn't move....
It just kept sitting there in the middle of the road...
So I got out and picked it up.
It's eyes were matted shut and it couldn't see.
What was "It" Cameron?

Yeah, ANOTHER cat!
How many do I have you ask?
Um .....4
I have 4 cats!!
I did have 3
Now.....I have 4

Because you see, this one was really sick on Friday.
Cameron was calling me from the vet's office.
"Our" cat had an upper respiratory infection,
She was dehydrated
She had about 4.8 million fleas
And she was very, very thin!

They gave her a shot for the infection...
They gave her a shot for the fleas...
They gave us medicine to give her twice a day for 7 days.

When Cameron got home with her (before me)

Seth sprung into action....

He gave her a bath and tried to get the 4.5 million fleas off of her.

I came in and got the last million off.

She is feeling much, much better!!

Amazing what a little tender loving care can do!

Yeah, she fell asleep in my hand.

She is five weeks old...

She has blue eyes.

We named her Bella.

We love her...

I hope she can make the transition from life in the streets.....


To life with the Munroes....

It's gonna be tough...

But maybe she can adjust.
What did Steve say?

Well....Steve is adjusting.
He said people were going to call me the "Cat Lady"
I told him I have been called worse...
ALOT worse!

  4. Aaaah! She is so cute! What a little bundle! I have three cats . . . don't think I'll get away with having four :( But they are so darn lovable! I usually end up having all three in bed with me (I don't move too much). LOL! Congrats!

  8. Oh, Bella is DARLING! What a cutie pie. I don't blame your son one bit for picking that cutie pie up out of the street. She is a heart stealer, and it looks like she's part Siamese. The poor little thing... wonder what she was doing out wandering the streets??? I'm so glad you have her now, Lou Cinda. She is a blessed kitty, indeed. I just love her! She's a little doll!

    XO,

  13. Well if you had to get another cat atleast it's a cute one. I think she is adorable and you can't help but love her!

  14. Oh, Lou Cinda! Bella is beautiful...obviously at least part Siamese!! She will grow up to be gorgeous! And if you are the cat lady, so am I! I have 4 also, 3 of which were literally picked up off of the street like Bella. Amd I might add that our Isabella started out as Bella but her name got longer! lol I picked her up in the middle of Lowe's parking lot all alone at 6 weeks and she's the prettiest cat I have ever had. You and your family are angels to rescue little Miss Bella. She is one lucky kitty! Bless you!...hugs...Debbie

  24. Oh my, Bella is a little treasure - and to fall asleep in your hand - precious! She knew she was rescued and safe now from that wild and dangerous jungle out there! I think she "adjusted" right then. I really believe God entrusts these little creatures to just the right people.

    Please visit me at my new blog, Beauty and Blessings, when you have a moment.

    With lots of kitty love....Cynthia K.

  26. What a cute little kitty! If I wasn't allergic to them I would be the crazy cat lady here in Dayton! I love them but they make me sneeze and cough and break into hives. Not pretty...
    Bella has found a good home with you.
    hugs, Sue

  27. Awe...your post sounded soooo stern at first...I knew you would melt!!!! After looking into those pretty blue eyes, who wouldn't melt? Good for Seth for picking her up off the streets, he's got a sweet heart. I'm sure she'll fit in just fine with her new loving family!!!!!
    Bella ~ what a sweet name.

  30. AWWWWW! What a great story! Thank you so much for being a caring, loving family. So many others may have just left that poor thing in the road! I have only one but I secretly want more,lol. Take care and smooches for little Bella!

  31. Hi Lou Cinda, Miss Bella is sooo precious. What perfect timing for Cameron to have found her when he did. It's obvious he has a big heart like his mother to have the concerns for this itty bitty kitty.
    My kitty weighed 4 ounces when I rescued her 16 years ago. You're so right! It is amazing what a little TLC can do. Please continue to share her progress with us. I'm sure in time the other kitties will come around.

    Thank you for coming by my humble blog and especially for your generously offering to try and locate the manufacturer of your Bistro Set. The fabric looks very similar to the floral Waverly fabric I have. Is it a Red background? I'll keep an eye out when I'm at our Fabric Depot. They can order just about anything.

    Sweet wishes,
    Sara
