Meet Lola

Lola is the newest member of our family.  I really got her for Allison because she loves cats and is always very curious about what the cats are doing at grandma's house.  The dogs aren't even on her radar.  I had been looking on Craigslist for weeks to see if anyone was giving away a female kitten.  I located one, but the lady gave it away before I could get there.  I ended up going to a shelter to find this one.  She attached herself to me pretty fast. 

She was kinda stinky after being in a cage at the shelter for a few weeks, so I gave her a bath.  I crack up every time I look at this picture because she absolutely HATED it.

But of course she forgave me and was soon following me around again.  I think someone was a little bit jealous about all the attention the kitty was getting.

She likes to perch on me...

And sleep on me...

And watch me do my homework...

 

And sit on piles of my clothes.

Allison enjoys following her around and asking, "What's kitty doing?"

And reading books to her...

And following her around some more.

I think she's glad to have a little friend around the house.  They are both very curious but cautious of each other.  Allison loves to pet the kitty but has yet to let me put the kitty in her lap.  I'm excited to see them grow up together.
