Meet Minnie the Cat

 Hello!! Sooo... you know that Spooky passed away in early July... Our household was beary sad about that but... after some thought, we adopted a new kitty!! I'm going to introduce Jerry & Ben to her... She is 8 years old and a bit shy and skittish at first with new people... Right now she is napping in her basket on this wooden trunk.

Whoops... not napping anymore!! She took one look at Ben and took off!

It's not cause Ben is ugly either... he's just an unfamiliar face!


We tracked her down in the bedroom and talked sweet nothings to her...

But she wasn't too keen on us! (At least she's not under the bed...)

 But then Jerry came up with a brilliant idea!!! We got one of her cat treats and put it out on the carpet...

It was a bit too far away... so we moved it closer and... voila!!!

Meet Minnie!!! She is a Torbie (Tortoiseshell-Tabby)... and very sweet. She loves to have her belly rubbed which is a very un-cat thing! She also has the tinniest meow ever... We call her Minnie... or Minou... or Minouche... or Minnie-mau... she responds to most of those!

  1. Hi Minnie. Sandy + Crew Sequoia says that you earn extra points for adopting a senior pet.


    Leave it to Jerry to come up with the idea of luring the cat out of a hiding space with food. Jerry knows his snacks.

    1. Yes, we though giving an older cat a loving home was a good idea. She is still very kittenish and loves to have treats thrown down the hallway for her... She'll chase them down, slithering on the floor as she goes.

      Jerry is a smart cookie!

  2. Oh, and if you need a middle name for your new kitty, Jerry would like to suggest a beary good name:

    JERRY

    1. Oh she gets called Minnie Mouse all the time and doesn't seem to mind at all... as long as the word "treat" or "din-din" is in there somewhere.
