Welcome Libby

Today we welcomed our new family member, Libby Taya (I think we finally agreed on the name).

We normally would have waited longer than 1 month before getting a new cat, but we took the leap quickly for many reasons. Todd and I are extreme animal lovers and our house somehow felt empty without a furry friend. Reese missed having a pet of her own because she seemed sad and said "Pet" whenever she saw another animal. We had worked really hard with Reese on being gentle with Belle and she did a great job, so we didn't want her to lose her that gentleness. Then, we saw a sign at the Animal Humane Society stating "We are full. Need help with adoptions today" - that sign might have just as well said "Todd and Suzanne" in large blinking lights.

Similar to Belle, Libby seemed to "choose" us the minute we walked in the door. She was very vocal until she got our attention, then was quiet and sweet during the rest of our visit. She liked Reese right away rubbing against her, to which Reese said "Tickle!" and laughed.

We don't know much about Libby's past. She is about 2 years old and wandered onto a farm in Big Lake to deliver her kittens. The farm owner brought Libby to the Humane Society once her kittens were old enough to go to different homes.

We brought Libby home where she immediately seemed comfortable. We discovered that she matches our furniture and color scheme - funny, she fits right in. Libby wandered around a bit, but mostly stayed right by our side. I think she's going to be a great addition to our family.
