Kitsie the cat... Reincarnated!

Our new cat is the spitting image of a cat that I had growing up named Kitsie. She lived for like 25 years. Our cat's name is Leya (you know, like Princess Leya). We talked about getting a cat and had actually decided NOT to get one, even after seeing her at the local pet store and knowing that it HAD to be Kitsie coming back as a younger cat. Well, guess who decides to bring her home? Yes...our closet cat-lover, Ric...lol...But I have to say that he has not complained once about cleaning the litter box EVERY time! I have come close to giving the cat away and have decided that it was much better being a kid with a pet than having kids and a pet...and she has this annoying habit of sucking on her paw for comfort. Drives me crazy for some reason...

The girls love her so much that we have fights over who gets to hold her first or feed her or play with her...Addyson wants so badly for the cat to sit in her lap, but the cat quickly realized that Addyson is still a toddler who trips and falls and isn't exactly "soft" with kitty...Brooklyn is still trying to understand the concept of letting the cat come to her and not chasing her around. Brynley likes to carry her around like a baby. Leya feels the most safe around her I must say...

I can't say that I love this cat, but I love that my kids do and they are learning responsibility and care of having an animal. If it IS Kitsie, she's probably wishing now that she hadn't been reincarnated!
