I figured since I've been writing this blog for about a month and a half, I should tell you all a little something about Evie and us both.

Craig and I adopted Evie from one of his friends when we were at his home for our summer break from college. I had planned on getting a kitten when I came back from his house in Houston, Texas. But, his friend's mother adopted 4 little kittens from a stray that they fed around their house. So, of course, I got excited and went over to meet them. There were two boys who were white and grey and the two girls who were calicos.

From the top: Dewey, Max, Babe, and Evie. All of the kittens were the cutest but that little one at the bottom is the one that I fell in love with almost instantly. Since they were kind of wild when I met them (I think they had only been inside for about 2 weeks - Kathryn, correct me if I'm wrong!) and Evie was the only one who would let me pick her up and lay her in my lap. Dewey scratched me and left a scar on my hand (he was sweet once he calmed down, he was just really flighty). Babe wouldn't come near me and Kathryn had already decided to keep Max. So I fell in love with Evie.

The first picture I ever got of her.

I wasn't able to bring her home right away though. Craig's Mom has two elderly cats (they're about 15 years old) and didn't want them fretting about the new kitten. So instead, I waited until about 5 days before we left to come back to West Virginia and left Evie with her brothers and sisters until I could bring her over. The older cats don't go upstairs at his house so we locked Evie in a rather large bedroom that we slept in. She relaxed almost instantly and purred and cuddled and she was happy and alright with being away from her brothers and sisters.

And 5 days after that, we started on our 2 day journey back to West Virginia (which she did pretty well on). And she's been happy ever since. Well, I should say "crazy" ever since - but it's that good kitten crazy. :)

Sciene doesn't please her, either.

Prokaryotic cells? Psssshhhh....

Apparently, she likes to sit in things.

Helping with homework makes her sleepy, too.

Relaxing.

We have discovered that she likes to play fetch! I will post a video soon of her playing.

Paws!
