Kitties for Dad
 
'Skittles" a male...he's about 6 weeks younger and SO sweet !!!
 
"Sassy" a female ...her name is a perfect description of her personality!

What greater gift than the love of a cat?

 

              ~Charles Dickens

 

Over the weekend  my sisters and I went with my Dad and helped him pick out 2 new kitties to adopt.

 

 

His long time companion cat Tim ,passed away about a month ago and my Dad has felt the loneliness that accompanies an empty house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Skittles sits for his portrait...he is so handsome!

Tim will always be missed, but these cats are rescued from a shelter, and will give my Dad the happiness of having two new little souls in the house to love and care for.

 

 

 

 
Lil Skittles
 
Sassy sits pretty for her portrait too :)
 
In loving memory
 
Tim ...good boy :)

Precioso.

Deb, great decision to adopt other pets. His father goes to forget the longing for another cat. The personality of Sassy is undeniable in the picture 5.

here they are! :) TERRIFIC portraits, I know how they can turn their heads or jump away at the last second. Cats are perfect company, cuddly but not too demanding in attention.

Les chats sont fidèles tout en restant indépendant, et c'est ce que nous aimons chez eux.
Ces portraits sont magnifiques Debbie!!!

Hi Deb So sorry to hear of your fathers loss Losing a pet, as we all know, is a terrible loss. I'm sure your father misses Tim and will never forget him. Now the new Kits look like they are going to keep dad very busy LOL. I love the pics and expressions. They sound like they are named appropriately to there personalities.

It is wonderful you adopted unwanted animals from a shelter. My horse is from a rescue and so is my dog. My horse was starved. There are so many unwanted animals, and I am glad you checked them out. The hard part is not getting more.....
