i've been thinking about my pittypat girls alot lately <3
maybe because it's freezing & i miss sleeping with them all around me at night?
so i thought i'd share their story here ~
it all started with tiny tabitha who we rescued from a local garage that had mama kitties & babies all hiding in the corners, we didn't want her to be alone & we'd already spotted a funny little white siamese mix kitten at our local pet shop so we brought her home too ~
meet tabitha sassafras pittypat & her 'flower sister' sabrina felina ~
we had a secure fenced in backyard down in warm sunny socal back then so at first they were backyard babies, playing in the flowerbeds & having a wild time..
but tabitha wanted to live inside.. so of course we let them in!
they were indoor/outdoor kitties & tabitha had many very cute boyfriends! (sabrina couldn't be less impressed with them..)
& soon she was 'with kittens' <3
sabrina felina was soon to be an auntie..
in spring of 2001 was the blessed event :D dan/raven stayed home from school & we sat with tabitha as she had 5 adorable pittypats, all daughters!
miette, snug, pickles, hepsebah & rose blue..
sabrina loved them just as if they were her own as well of course..
these were the best of times as our pittypats played & had a blast, but we soon realized we needed a bigger place..
so we bought a house! & mr dad closed in our backyard patio to make it a 'catio'.. (long before this was a thing..)
they had a gorgeous green ivy enclosed backyard to play in each day with dan as their shepherd watching over them with the cat toys to keep them safe & happy <3
but we needed a bigger house!! so eventually we tucked them all into their large carriers & drove an rv up here to portland ;)
where they lived the rest of their lives as happy indoor girls..
i love them with all my heart & i know they're still right here with me somehow & that we'll all be together again someday.. meanwhile i comfort myself with all our home movies which just remind me they had the happiest lives of any kitties i've ever known <3
