This is Amber, she’s 3 months old and she’s a holy terror — argh!!
Since we lost Pudgy earlier in the year, we’ve slowly inherited a major mouse investation and they’re so cute, with big brown eyes and big round ears, that I could not use the neck-braker traps or the goo traps; it seems so cruel! We put down a live trap, but they were too smart for that!
So, since Kitty, Lil’ Bit, the Arching, Hissing, B _ _ _ _ has joined our family, we haven’t seen any mouse signs, not from the first night of her introduction (we haven’t found any little mouse bodies either — hoping they don’t get too brave — I’ve warned them to stay away or it’s curtains!).
So with squirt bottle in hand and folded up newspaper, the training begins__beating her off my sliding glass door screens as she tries to get to my precious golden finches and hummingbirds…off my table where she wants to chew off all the African Violet leaves and flowers…off my furniture where she dashes up to me and scratches the arm of whatever seat I’m sitting on after being disciplined for just having done that…well you get the picture…
She is cute though and in our hearts, so she’s here to stay…help!! :0
So to sooth myself today, after being out at our Big Creek Hydro facility this morning, I took the back road up to Huntington Lake and took the long, scenic route home. It was absolutely beautiful…guess I’m lucky this is my view driving back to my office. Enjoy!!
Amber is SO cute! Why “Amber” though? She reminds me of Heather’s former kitty, Dusty. And you DO have the best views around there. I never get tired of seeing those vistas!
Your little Amber is so cute and yes they can be terrors. We are
doing good - busy with antiques and a HUGE yard sale coming up in
September. Would love to hear your voices on the phone sometime.
Love to all Cheryl & Tex
Oh my gosh, she is beautiful! I’m guessing “Amber” is because of her eyes, and doesn’t Michael love amber too? And yes, little kittens are adorable, but feisty as hell, as you described!
Wish I was there so I could squish her!
A beautiful cat with such striking eyes! Hope she keeps you on your toes and keeps you in good health. Take good care of the hellion, as it all goes by so quick. So sorry for your loss of Pudgy. Mr Gandalf, the cat that Chelsea and I bought together was recently stolen from her mother’s inn on the coast, so we know all to well you pain in losing Pudgy.
