Diva' s Kitties.....

Dear Sweetie Pie....Allow me to introduce Diva's Kitties.

We live in a small house (The Nest) in the country. Because it is an older house we occasionally have field mice that like to come into the house and take up residency in the fall and winter time.

The first year I saw one of the little critters your Diva let out a blood curdling scream that even your Papa could hear. I demanded that he get me a cat for Christmas. So we began to look for kittens.

We finally found a litter of kittens that had been born in September and were looking for a good home. Poppa picked out the orange marmalade one as he had already caught a mouse at 3 months old. "That's my boy", said Poppa and we took home "Buster". There are times that we still call him Buster (especially if he has been naughty....Papa will say, "Look here Buster, we don't do that in this house!").

Diva named him JJ. We used to have an orange marmalade cat named "Joey" so JJ is short for "Joey Jr." JJ was just a little ball of fluff when we brought him home.

Diva's Dog Spot.....did not like JJ and was always growling and acting mad. Your Aunt Suzy and I decided that it would be nice for JJ to have a playmate (since Spot was old and grumpy) and Diva really liked the small grey tabby cat (JJ's sister).

Papa wasn't convinced that we needed two kitties. He finally consented and we were able to bring home Lucy Grey. It was a good decision as they have known each other all their life. They play together, box each other, trap together, jump on each other, cuddle up together to sleep, and are the best of friends.

As babies, the kitties would climb into the Christmas tree and sleep on the branches. They both like to cuddle....(especially JJ) . Your momma enjoyed playing with them the first Christmas we got them.

Both are inside Kitties and don't have front claws. JJ will like you instantly. Lucy will like you especially if your Poppa is holding you. Lucy Grey adores Poppa!

I'm sure you will love Diva's kitties as much as they will love you.
