| Smudgy's second night with us |
I had been searching for a new kitten for my husband for some time. It needed to be a special kitten. Preferably black and most importantly, I wanted her to have thumbs. You see, we used to own an amazing kitty with thumbs. He passed a few years back and was basically irreplaceable. It is actually how we ended up with dogs (don't worry, you'll meet them later).
I look at kittens all the time. I check them out in Petco every time I go in and I spend hours pouring over them on petfinder. com (awesome site if you're looking to adopt). None of the kittens or cats spoke to me, until last week when someone on facebook posted this...

I fell in love with the little black kitten and she has thumbs!! So, we drove the 1 1/4 to pick her up on Friday 4/5/13. She was probably one of the smallest kittens I had ever adopted. So tiny, in fact, we set up home for her in the bathroom because we were so concerned she would get stepped on by either us or the dogs.

We waited until day two to introduce her to the dogs. They are a little unsure of her size and her tiny meow. They really don't know what to do with her. She thinks she is their size and they think they are her size.

Intro's are going well. Smudgy has taken quite a few swats at their noses, but they're so big they don't seem to notice.
Part of the reason we wanted to start this blog was to document her growth. This little girl is growing fast and has the energy of a million kittens. We will post weigh ins and lots of fun videos, so stay tuned:
