Tula [6]

Carly says: Tula is OJ's littermate. When I picked OJ up on a Friday, I saw the other kittens in the litter but wasn't sure if I wanted to have two kittens at the same time. By Monday, I decided to check and see if there were any kittens remaining from the litter, and only Tula remained. I took her home in hopes that she and OJ would play (and, in turn, let me sleep through the night and not be a chew toy). Having two kittens has afforded me the chance to sleep at night as well as the opportunity to watch them chase each other around the house, wrestle with other another, make mischief, and embark upon adventures (usually OJ's idea).

Tula is the runt of her litter, and when I adopted her, she weighed only one pound. Despite her small size, she has a large personality and a big appetite! During her tiniest days, she would insist on "helping" me cook by crawling into the hood of my hooded sweatshirt and watching over my shoulder as I made dinners. Tula is always playing with her brother as well as always trying to play with our 14-year-old golden retriever. Her meow is one of the loudest I have ever heard, and she is sure to remind me when I haven't given her enough love or have wandered off and she cannot find me. She also loves to go for rides in the car and will go for walks with the dog. I chose Tula's name (pronounced TWO-la) because she is the second cat I adopted, just three days after adopting her brother. Having two kittens is great -- I can't talk enough about how much I'm enjoying watching them grow up together!
