Joy

So this is my little cat Boo.

We found her and 3 other little babies this summer in one of the many heavy thunderstorms we had. The three kittens, probably about a week old, were under our porch and were completely flooded. We found them, and of course rescued them and brought them inside. One died right away, probably from taking in so much water. Another died about a week later, but Boo and little Spice cat survived. The funny thing about these two kittens from the same litter is that they were soooo different in size. Boo was a normal growing cat, where as little spice cat was always half her size. She was so small! Needless to say, little spice cat didn't make it. We think something was always wrong considering she was so tiny. Boo and spice cat could not see for the first month or so of their lives. Their eyes were closed shut with that nasty puss stuff kittens get when they were babies. We tried every medicine out there, and cleaned their eyes daily but they just wouldn't stay clean. Boo is my little trooper. She has survived a flood, survived being blind for half her little life, and survived fitting in with the other big kitties around here. This week she has discovered she is big enough to jump into things. Here is a little snapshot of her new favorite hideout.

She now loves the bathtub.

This is my joy for today. :)
