little golden book ~ the new kittens

a wonderful vintage little golden book today ~

the new kittens from 1957 ~

kathy's cat tina is about to have babies ~

toxic was blessed to have shared this experience with so many of her childhood kitties :) ~

& i'll never forget letting our son stay home from school for the event when our tabitha had kittens ~

there is nothing sweeter ~

choosing names ~

we are kittyless these days having lost the last of our sweet old ladies last fall :( ~

fierce mama! ~

we are suffering here without our kitty family beside us ~

these toys look just like gumby's! especially that jack-in-the-box ~

the 3 of us have decided we will adopt 3 little kittens soon ~

we want to be responsible & wait till this coronavirus event passes ~

but the thought of our new kittens is like the carrot leading us forward through all this ~

stay inside & hug your kitties..

toxic won the 'pirates of the caribbean' book from her elementary school carnival many years ago, we'd like it back, but it has become very rare & desireable & expensive.. update ~ found!

like 'baleful beasts & other eerie creatures', a very creepy vintage book that traumatized my son in his elementary school days. the patchwork monkey story in that book scared him so bad that he left the book on the floor of his closet till it was way overdue at the school library. he just wanted to forget all about it! we turned it back in & could've purchased it at the school library sale, when it was just an old unwanted book, but he was still too nervous about it! lol. now we both want it back,
but it's going for around $175 if you can find one.. oh well. we'll find one eventually, we seem to find everything eventually..

ghost & toxic
