Miss Newton

November 24, 2009

Colour says: Miss Newton and her litter-mates were found abandoned at six weeks of age. Two weeks later in June 2006, she was the only female kitten at Vancouver's SPCA, so it was easy to choose to foster her. She quickly made herself at home, and we officially adopted her a few months later when she was spayed. Her purring furriness has been making us laugh ever since. We chose April 1st as her birthday.

Newton likes to be gently vacuumed and gallops to me when I start cleaning. Her most endearing habit is difficult to photograph: she tunnels under the duvet and sleeps pushed up against us during the night. When she was a kitten, I took the apparently unnecessary precaution of a hooped structure to protect her from being smothered by the duvet. She eagerly leaps for a bouncing ping pong ball and smacks one back to me through a large mailing tube tunnel in an elaborate pouncing game. Hide-and-seek is another favourite game. She prefers high perches, climbing bookshelves each day to watch over my home office from near the ceiling. Orbularity sometimes gives her a workout chasing his laser pointer.

Cuteness does not begin to describe these pictures of Miss Newton. I could barely pick the best one, as they are all so adorable! What a darling, beautiful little baby. I love the story. And you are a precious human to have allowed her to adopt you...

FANTASTIC photos. As a fellow "parent" of a white-footed tabby, I"m a big fan. They're all about the fun, so she'll bring you nothing but smiles (until you find her eating your dinner off of your countertop, anyway... hee). Enjoy Miss Newton!
