Buster Busts a Move

It Was Meant to Be

 A few years ago, a local TV station did a little feature on the IBKC on a magazine program.  Every now and again they re-air the clip, which is always great, because it always means more local people finding their way to the blog.

A week or so ago,  Kevin and Michael were talking, and Kevin suggested they should get a little kitten friend for their cat, Sweet Pea.  Shortly after these words left his mouth,  the IBKC clip came on TV.

It was a funny coincidence that this segment should air just then.  Michael, who is a firm believer of signs, took this cue and she paid a visit to the IBKC where she promptly fell in love with a certain little Tortie girl.

Kevin emailed me to see if we had any kittens available.  At that time Buster and Susannah Rose were spoken for, and I thought Kenneth had found his home too,  so I told him Tilda was the only available kitten.

Perfect.  She was the one they had their eyes on.

They came down to meet her last week and were completely enchanted the second they met the girl.   Tilda loved them instantly, too.  She purred, and purred and rolled around happily in their laps.   It was so clear she was completely comfortable with them, and she was meant to be theirs.

On Sunday, a very excited Kevin and Michael returned to pick up their little girl.   Miss Tortellini was all suited-up in her new collar and tag, and was set to go.  

Buster was obsessed with Tilda's new accessories, which made it difficult to take her graduation photos.  That's Buster.  Always such a curious little boy.







The paperwork was filled out, we said our goodbyes, and off went the little family.

I couldn't be happier for Tilda, Kevin and Michael.

They were meant to be together.

Final Family Pics

Well, we said goodbye to 50% of the Wiggins family this weekend.  Before they left, they all settled down long enough to get a few final family pictures.

What a beautiful little litter.   And such little loves they are.  

We've got a couple of them around until the weekend, so do not fret, there will be plenty more of these cutie-pies this week.

Tomorrow we'll start with the departure tale of Miss Tilda Tortellini.

 Please stay tuned....

It Seems, She has Seams

Look! Little Tilda has seams in her stockings! 

Tortie Time!

Today, let's spend a little time with our fabulous little Tortie, Tilda.  She's such a stunning little creature.

As she's gotten bigger, her sweet little stripes are becoming more defined  and she's starting to show a little more orange.

Tilda Tortellini, you are one beautiful girl.

 

The Return of the Kitten Whisperer/ Kitten Magnet

He's back!   My dad, aka The Kitten Whisperer, aka The Kitten Magnet,  is here for a visit. As you can see, the Wiggens love him.   What's not to love?  He's warm,  he likes to nap too....

Susanna Rose is particularly fond of him.  She's been spending a lot of time perched on his shoulder.  He likes to call her Susanna Rosannadanna.  

It's pretty sweet.

Please Don't Be Afraid

Really.  It's OK. 






I am your friend.

Kitten Kin

When I first brought these Wiggins home,  Craig was at work, so I emailed him a picture of the brood.  His response was  "I think we've had kittens from that factory before".    I think he might be right.   They could easily be kin to the  Lively bunch,  Darlings or  Drapers.

This is Tilda.  But more than anything, we call her "Tortellini".
