Introducing the newest member of the C Family: Our new kitty, Skippyjon Jones! I truly thought that I would hold out much longer before getting a pet, like when the kids were all in elementary school. But alas, the cuteness factor won me over. Not only that, but I knew the children were wanting a pet very badly. And a puppy would be way too much responsibility for me at this point.
And truly, I was not even looking for a kitty. It just so happened that I was over at my friend Cheryl's house, and I commented on the cute little gray kitten she had. She told me her mom had two litters of kittens in her garage! Evidently, one mama stray must have told another mama stray that it was a great place to start a family, and
voiala! Kittens galore in this nice grandmother's garage. I guess you can see from the photos that we found our way there and brought this little guy home.
One of Cheryl's kids named this one
Skippyjon Jones, and since we love the
Skippyjon Jones books the name kind of stuck! Here is Daddy C below, reading about the famous kitty. I swear this picture was not a set-up, I came in the front door, and there they were so I grabbed my camera.
Skipito, as we sometimes call him, has proven himself to be a very mellow and good natured kitty for a family with 3 kids. Baby C adores him. Even Daddy C loves Skipito.
It will be very interesting to see how we integrate a pet into our daily lives. So far, everything has gone very well....um...except for that... uh...tail-pulling incident with Baby C....
I love Skippyjon! I hope he continues to warn up to Norman Alexander. Skippy is so cute. Love that picture of the fam with the libro.

Skipito looks exactly like my lovely Coco! Is Skipito a Ragdoll or a Himalayan? Just curious, my Coco might be a cross between. :)
