Stella

Dang you roadside "free kittens" sign.  If we hadn't seen you coming home from church yesterday, we might have avoided getting suckered into this cuteness.  Of course we did see you, right next to the woman selling homemade fudge from her pickup and we turned the car back around "just to see."  We all know how that ends up... we got a cute little puppy in the Fall, found out we were not dog people, and two months later delivered her to her new family.

I figured our cat, Winnie, needed a friend.  When Alora and I saw this cute little kitten, I knew Winnie needed this little girl.  She was one of three tortoise-shelled calico's left in the litter and Alora fell in love.  After convincing Jeremy (or at least him giving in), we took her home to meet  Winnie. 

Upon meeting, Winnie did her usual sniff and then away she went.  She didn't seem interested in the least!  However, this morning when we couldn't find Winnie, we thought she had escaped again outside.  After looking for quite a while, Winnie turned up in my closet, hiding behind some clothing totes.  She was NOT a happy camper.  She hissed and swatted and hissed some more.  Her ears lay back and she had this glare in her eyes.  She obviously has decided she DOES NOT like this new kitten.  Talk about a tantrum!  Hopefully she will come around and accept Stella (what Noah named her).
