Newest Family Member

A side note to our new van story, when we went to test drive the new van, there were quite a few cats and kittens around the families house. Bessie was loving all the kittens and they were very friendly. We had recently come to the conclusion that our outside cat of 8 years had probably perished as he had not been around for several weeks. The man asked Bessie if she would like one of the kittens. She was so excited, we said yes.

So, here is little Tiger Lily, who came home with us when we picked up the van. Isn't she adorable. She is white and tiger striped, sweet as can be and very friendly.

Gabe is especially happy with her as our old cat was quite aloof and did not really like the younger children too much. Miss Lily lets him hold her and carry her around.


She was used to being an outdoor kitty at her old home and she will have to do the same here as we have several family members with cat allergies. Right now she is living in and out of our garage. Brian is installing a cat door for her, so she can easily get inside to her food and bed.
