First I want to tell you all the things we love about our new kitty and then I need your help.
1) We love to hold kitty. All 7 of us. All the time. Note to self – take pictures of the other family members holding kitty.
2) We love to pose kitty for pictures.
3) We love that kitty will purr loudly and lick us when she is happy.
4) We love the way kitty reacts to the flash of the camera.
5) We love kitty’s cranky face, but not her cranky moods when the kids won’t stop loving her. This look means, “I want a nap.” Don’t you just love that expression?
6) We love how kitty likes to keep herself clean.
7) We love how kitty is VERY patient and tolerant of Hosanna and her abundance of love.
We love how kitty will sit with us while we just hang out.
9) We love how kitty plays.
10) But most of all we love how tolerant and patient kitty is of all of Hosanna’s love.
This kitty was hand picked for us. God knew what we needed. I am reminded of the kitty that I had when I was very little. She didn’t look like this, but she was tolerant and full of love.
Okay, two more photos that I couldn’t resist. Look at Hosanna’s face. She loves the kitty so much. She came in carrying the kitty and we couldn’t resist getting a picture.
And of course like sister, like brother…
In walks Zion wanting wanting his picture taken too.
Kitty is a wonderful addition to our homeschooling family.
We love her.
Now, if only I could get a chance to hold her…
Oh and while we are talking about kitty… she needs a name. Will you help give us some ideas? We need to tackle the task of naming her as soon as possible.
We have three names on the table, but we are open to other suggestions. (Please!)
- Holly (because it is Christmas time)
- Arm Pits and Bum (we have to keep reminding everyone how to hold her)
- Bizzy Bizzy Boo (a suggestion from the twins)
I am linking up to Top Ten Tuesday, Hip Homeschool Moms, and Tackle It Tuesday.

Hi Jerri,
Thank you for visiting Sunflower Schoolhouse. Your cats are so adorable. I love that recipe you posted for the Chocolate covered caramel. It looks like something we could actually make (without the peanuts) with our allergies.
Blessings

We moved to the country when my youngest daughter was just a few months old. It was the start of a journey that goes on today. She immediately adopted every animal she could and has gone on to be a veterinarian. Having a pet to love and care for is a great way to teach responsibility and the joy of loving other creatures!

Hi Chris,
My daughter Hosanna loves all animals. She has even been known to kiss worms. I have no idea what she will be when she grows up (she’s only 3), but she absolutely loves animals.
It is definitely a chance to teach responsibility and gentleness and respect.
Thanks for visiting.
Blessings

What a cute kitty. She is reminding me of something, she has very distinct markings. I am terrible at coming up with names. She doesn’t look like a Holly, to me anyways. She kinda is reminding me of a bengal tiger, one of the white ones. What names go with the color gray? hmmm….
My 16 yr. old daughter wants a kitten for Christmas. It isn’t going to happen!

Hi Robin,
I wrote another post telling the story of our kitty. She has bengal kitty markings for sure.
A girl can dream about kitties (right?).
Thanks for visiting.

How about Tirzah> or Tizzie for short. That name means a delight to God (and you all from what it looks like:>) in the hebrew.

Hi Kristine,
I really like this name (Tizzie) is sort of suits her, especially the meaning. I wrote the story of how we got kitty and I put up a poll about her name.
Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment.

How sweet! We just lost our 17 year old “kitty” in September. Said we weren’t geting another one, at least not for awhile, but my heart just melts when I see “fur babies.”

Hi Honey,
You’re beautiful kitten looks just like ours!!! We found our kitten outside our house last july. Someone had dropped kittens from their mom cat randomly around our neighbourhood, luckily all seemed to go to homes that needed them!! We too had a hard time picking names, until my daughter decided that since she was born around July 1 (we found her when her eyes were still blue and had just opened) we should name her July. She fits right in like we had planned this all along.
She’s cute! I think you should just stick with “kitty”.

We ended up calling her Tizzie, which to the twins still sounds like Kitty. Hosanna still calls her Holly sometimes too.
Thanks for visiting.
Merry Christmas
