Meet Wilma! She is a new one-year-old kitty we adopted from Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue last Sunday. She was originally a feral cat, but was brought in to be spayed with the intent of releasing her after. While in care it was discovered that she loves to be petted, so she was put up for adoption. It is true that she loves to be petted and have her cheeks and chin rubbed, but first you have to find her to do that. She is very shy and loves to hide!

She does appreciate a good bed of velvet in my fabric closet, where she is living since yesterday.
We had our first face to face meeting yesterday in my studio, and I was able to pet her for the first time.

This gives me increased motivation to get into my studio!
I did not mention this before because it happened only a couple of days before we left for Costa Rica. We lost our dearest companion, Kissabelle, at the age of 17. She was the best cat ever! Lots of personality, many classic "Kissabelle moves", and an all around beautiful cat. These photos are in memory of our beautiful times together. She was the centre of our household. We miss her a great deal, but knew there was space in our lives for another kitty needing a warm and loving home.
RIP Kissabelle.
Awww. . . that sweet Kissabelle hiding her face, and then those little paddy paws. I know you will make Wilma feel secure enough to begin to enjoy your petting. For now, the velvet hiding place is probably just right for her.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha. Kissabelle was the sweetest! Wilma is starting to love the petting. Hope you are enjoying your kitty kats :-)
