I'd like to introduce you to the new edition to our family, Arya Snow!
Arya is named for two of my favorite characters in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Arya Stark and Jon Snow. She is about four months old. A little back story on her...my grandmother got her around Christmas. Now my grandmother is in her 80s and she always seems to forget that she has severe asthma and when a kitten reaches a certain age, their dander really kicks in, thus negatively affecting said person with severe asthma. Of course, I knew that she would not be keeping her very long so I told my dad that I would take her when Grandma was ready. It turns out, she was ready last week. So lucky us...we picked her up Sunday. She has adjusted quite nicely and she's learning her name. And Alice is starting to be more tolerant of her and they have even played a few times (see pics below) so I'm hoping they'll be fast friends soon. We couldn't be more happy to have another fur baby in our midst!

She's beautiful! It's so good that you were able to take her. She and Alice will become friends before you know it.
ReplyDeleteNew kitty! Arya is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! WELCOME to little Miss Arya! We look forward to getting to know her!
ReplyDelete~xo~
Hooray Kitteh! I really like her name,too. I'm sure they will be friends.
ReplyDeleteAAAWWWW, she is just adorable!!!! Congrats on the new edition to the family. :-)
ReplyDeleteSweet Arya ... She looks like she would love to cuddle. I think Alice will befriend her soon and then they can take care of each other the way my boyz do. You are a good daughter to help out your Mom. She can feel comfortable tht Arya is in a good home.

Thank you for all the lovely comments! I've passed them on to Arya. She couldn't feel anymore welcome. =O)
ReplyDeleteIrene--that is perfectly fine.
Yay! See: I am back - REALLY, REALLY back! Going to do also Cat Thursdays on NOT SOPHISTICATED again.. ;")
ReplyDeleteNice looking cat, glad that Alice is warming up to her, cat's always have trouble accepting other cats. Great post! : )
ReplyDeleteoh she is so cute! I love the "and she's out" photo.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Michelle, your new kitty is adorable; such pretty markings.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane! She's fitting in nicely too. =O)
ReplyDeleteShe was lucky to have you to take her on. What is it about writers, books and cats?
ReplyDeleteLOL Alice is looking mighty big compared to little Arya =)
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will be fast furbally friends soon. Such a good thing for Arya that your gma had you for a backup plan! Good on you=)
Thanks, Marie! Yeah, we thought Alice was big before (the vet thought she was a male, because she's so big), but next to Arya, she looks like a giant. They are so funny together. It's hilarious to watch.
ReplyDeleteI knew Grandma wouldn't be keeping her long so that's why I put the feelers out early. ;O) Another kitty rescued from potential doom! YAY!
