Our furbaby

Before things get terribly exciting around here with our new little one coming (any day now) I decided to dedicate one more post to our fur baby Swarley before she is dethroned by little brother.

Our kitty Swarley is a special kind of kitty. She came and found us and has been a very pleasant additional companion. She is playful, curious, sometimes cuddly, and loves blankets. Her love of blankets has been a bit of a concern lately since babies tend to get a lot of blankets. So to help protect the blankets of the unborn, both grandmothers have sewn Swarley her very own blankets.

 I think it will take Swarley some adjusting to having a new baby around the house, but she will probably be okay.

Here she is (unknowingly) cuddling her little brother.


Swarley is a nice kitty, but deep down inside there is a killer in there. One of her favorite activities at our new house is playing inside our 3 car garage. She'll spend an hour or two in there at a time. I think she finds bugs to track and she enjoys laying on top of our cars. Recently she came to the door and cried for me to come (I was thinking I had locked her out). She was not locked out. She came to show me what she had caught. She had caught and killed a teeny tiny frog and brought it to the door mat for me. I petted her and told her good kitty and immediately got a paper towel and threw the frog in the dumpster in the garage.

Swarley loves her daddy and likes to help him whenever possible. In this picture she is supervising him putting up the Lion King Decals in the nursery. Actually, I'm pretty sure she was thinking those stickers would sure be fun to play with and tear up with her claws.
Swarley, you won't be forgotten. Be patient with mommy and daddy as we adjust to adding our newest addition to the family.
