The Newest Addition to Our Family: Remus

Brett had been asking and pleading to get a cat for the past 6 months and for some strange reason I finally caved. Upon returning from our Canada vacation we began searching for the perfect cat. We knew that it needed to be very cute, child tolerant, and Brett's top priority - cuddly. We also wanted a cat with short hair to avoid shedding and a male preferably. I told Brett that if we were going to get a cat in had to be in the next week or so before school started up again so he could help me get things set up and such; low and behold we found our perfect cat on Day 2 haha. * I'll admit that I postponed blogging about Remus because I wanted to make sure he was a keeper... and he is ;)

Ellie playing with the kitty at Petsmart; you can see why we needed this cat.


We bought a litter box, the cat toy from the video, some cat food, and brought him home that day.
We've name our blue tabby addition, Remus and he's everything we'd hope for.

He's cute


Child Tolerant




And very cuddly...

The truth is, I've been replaced.


Just kidding I also enjoy my Remus cuddles during family nap time


Kitty is truly Ellie's favorite word. Each day Remus follows me into her room as I get her from the crib and Ellie's first words are always "Kitty? .. KITTY!!". Then she proceeds to chase him around the apartment. As much as she terrorizes him I love noticing that he can't stay away from her. Even after all the tail pulling and face poking, and accidental falling on top of, he still follows her to her room and curls up by her while she plays... it's pretty adorable.
