Wordless Wednesday ~ Guess What Gabi Found?

5 Minutes for Special Needs

Yesterday, while I was at work, Gabi ran into the bedroom to Ryan, saying, "Cat! Cat! Daddy, Cat!" Ryan responded with, "Great, Gabi, cat" assuming she seen a cat on TV. Gabi ran back into the living room with Ryan following behind and pulled back the curtains to our french doors to reveal a kitten just on the other side pawing at the window. Ryan opened the door, and the kitten ran in. How weird was it that we had just talked about getting another cat the day before?





Fat Kitty wasn't so impressed with the kitten!


So now we need to name the kitten. How about helping us decide on a name? In our right side bar is a poll of names chosen by our family. You can chose from one of those or suggest something else in the comments on this post. **edited to say a name has been chosen: 55.2% voted for Hollis. Thanks to all who voted.

Oh wow, a new kittie! How about "Gary" for a name? (like the meowing snail on Spongebob) We thought of that too late when we were naming our cat, otherwise it would be his name :).

Aww, what a sweet kitty! :)

Leonard said...

the cats are cute...they're so quiet most of the times.

happy WW!

Raven said...

What a beautiful kitten. Looks like it's a friendship made in Heaven. Cadeau (pronounced Cadoh) is the French word for gift. One of the few things I remember from high school a million years ago. I hope Fat Kitty warms up to her. Great set of photos.

Pamela said...

maybe the kitten is a "blessing."

Gina said...

I go for Hollis because it's picked by Gabi.

Busymama Kellie said...

What a great story, that kitten is truly a gift just for Gabi.

Kari said...

Great photos Shannon. Gabi looks very pleased with the new Kitty. I went for Hollis on the poll but I like AZ idea for Surprise. That would be cute and unique.

Cute kitty!! My guess on what she found was make-up or a marker! Glad it was a cat instead.

Kim said...

Very cute! She/He looks just like our cat. She is 11 years old and does not like any other pets either....just like fat kitty. She also found our family as well. Our cat's name is Sadie Mae.

Adorable photos of Gabi and kitty. LOL at your other cat.

The kitten looks just like our dearly missed "Magic". Good name for yours...he appeared as though magic.
