It's a Girl.....FINALLY!!

No.....I did not have a baby & I'm not pregnant....& besides, the way that numbers go we would end up with a 5th boy (not that there's anything wrong with that). A little background.... We had our 12 1/2 year old Chocolate Point Siamese boy, Denver, put down back in June. We had had him since he was 3 months old. We have been missing him like crazy. We have found ourselves saying things like, "Denver would have loved that." So we figured it was time to get a new baby. I started a hunt for a new Siamese in the city or a breeder within the province. My sister down in Lethbridge called me at the beginning of the week & told me that there was an ad in the paper for Siamese kittens. I sent her on recon to check them out. She did & sent me some pictures of a few of the 10 babies (2 litters). So we drove down to "Poedunk" aka Welling & selected a new baby. We were not pre-set on male or female. We were planning to make our decision on personality & cutieness. Well....It's a Girl....Finally!!!! She is 9 1/2 weeks old. Both of her parents are Seal Point Siamese so she could either end up being Seal Point or the lighter Chocolate Point. She's really cute...but not as pretty as our boy, Denver, was when we got him. We messed around with name spellings for a female (if that's what we ended up getting). Her name is "Seaehty". That is pronounced Cee Eh Tee (C. A. T.) She has been surprisingly good. She is an under the bed bare toe attacker & a you can't move your hands or feet in bed for the first 10 or 15 minutes diver. The boys have been really good with her...including Slade, who is only 10 months old. She sometimes goes right behind him (where he can reach her) & kicks him in the diaper. He franticly turns from one side to the other trying to get her to stop. Anyway...for those of you who though I got a girl piranha....{cough cough Tiff & Karrie}....now you know.
