Me and Suki

Watching some football with my girl last weekend.  She is a good snuggler and obviously enjoys her football.  :)

Suki is growing up

It is amazing to see how quickly this kitten is growing.  She was so little and then so sick when we first got her.  Now she's just growing like a weed.  She's eating like mad and she is really getting longer.  You can just feel it.

Milo is also starting to beat this illness.  The antibiotics are helping him.

Milo is even tolerating her just a little bit more.  They have been friendly some.  But, I don't blame Milo, she darts after  him and tries to attack him and it just ticks him off.  Poor guy.

Suki's latest obsession is trying to figure out our laptops.  Here she is with Norma's laptop.  Cracks me up when she looks around the back of it.  She looks like, "Where is this coming from?"  Is there no wonder that Cats love mice?  (And cursors)

She also attacked a roll of toilet paper on Friday morning.  And when I say "attack,"  I mean it.  She destroyed the thing.  She had a good time.

Suki Duez

When our beloved cat Harley passed away on August 16, 2009, the whole family was pretty devastated.  To lose a 16-year member of your family is just very, very difficult.  We could not imagine that her place in our family could ever be taken by anyone or anything.

But, this week we brought a new kitty home.  We named her Suki, which means "beloved" in Japanese.  She is a special little girl.  It has been amazing having her in the house during this Christmas break.  Well, I have to be truthful there is one member of our family that's not super excited about it all - that's Milo!  He hasn't stopped hissing at her yet.  But, he will.

She is a Siamese mix.  She has a bit of tabby in her.   The Siamese in her definitely reminds us of Harley.  Plus, she has a sweetness and kindness that Harley had.  I'll never forget the first day that Harley crawled up on the couch and fell asleep on my chest.  And I won't forget the first time for Suki either.  She is a super cuddle bunny and we've already watched football together.

In many ways it feels like our family is back together again.  Harley will always be with us.  We have lots of pictures, memories and stories.  Now we'll add to those stories with our new little girl.  She is precious and beloved.
