Abbie

Name: Abbie

Nickname: Abbie Cakes

Breed: Calico

Age: 1 year (Birthday: March 22, 2012)

Favorite Activity: 

Favorite Thing: Hair ties.  They are the best toys ever.

Her Ideal Day: Cuddling under a blanket for naps, tons of hair ties to play around with while I chase my siblings throughout the house, and lots of Daddy's bottom scratches.

Least Favorite Thing: Other kitties getting in my face when I'm waiting on Mommy to feed me.

Bad Habit:  I tend to box other kitties in the face whenever the mood strikes me.

(Look how appropriate my tiny kitten boxing photo is.)

Quirk: Whenever Mommy or Daddy call my name I immediately begin to rub up against things and purr.  I also still like to use the router as my bottom heater... except I'm not as small as I once was.

Fun Abbie Fact: I was the first tiny baby to eat "big girl food."

Some pictures of the adorable Abbie Cakes.

History of Abbie pre-forever home: Apparently a family on the military post had moved and purposely left their pregnant cat behind.  The cat had her babies: all 5 (Abbie was one the the 5).  A neighbor had seen/understood the whole situation and took them in for a few days.  Later they took the momma and her 5 fresh kittens to the pound.  I was one of those kittens.

During Foster Care:  I was chronically sick for months... lots of sneezing, coughing, and big boogers.  It got so bad that I had to get on medicine for a couple of months.  Thankfully that finally was able to clear it all up and I have been doing great since then.

How Abbie came to join us: After my foster mom (now my forever mom) made the tough decision to put down Griffin, she and my dad re-evalutated their decision on what kittens they were going to keep from the litter.  They decided to keep me and my brother Augusta because of our unmistakable bond (see video and pictures below).
