Meet Mitnik

Today was an exciting day! We adopted Mitnik from the Eau Claire County Humane Association. :o) We've been talking about getting another cat ever since Maggie Moo died, but wavered on whether or not we really wanted to. Originally we went to find a kitten...and we found one. I filled out an application online and called the next day to check the status and they said they didn't get it. So, I rushed over there and filled one out at the shelter and when I got there to fill it out Fozzy (the kitten) had already gone to his forever home. We went back today as a family to pick out another kitten, but this cute little Mitnik caught our eye. She's such a pretty girl-very unique markings. She's a "diluted calico" and she's just precious. We brought her home and she's spent her afternoon/evening checking out her new surroundings (which for the time being is the basement--don't worry, it's finished for the most part). She even has her own twin bed, so I'm sure she'll be fine down here. We decided to keep her down here for a couple of days until she's really familiar with where her food/water and litter box are. She has eaten and lapped up water, and she has pooped and peed in the litter box. (YAY!) She seems like a great little kitty. She's by no means a kitten--almost a year old, but she sure is sweet. And we're glad we chose her--it doesn't seem like any training will be needed. :o) This picture is from the shelter's website. She's a little bigger now, and a lot prettier! I'll post new pics soon. I just don't want to sabotage her with flashbulbs yet!
