Welcome to the fam kitties

I always had kitties in my life…til my hubby & I moved in together & well he’s a dog person. I pretty much chose him over having kitties. It wasn’t an easy decision ok😬😂

I have asked for kitties for forever since then. I became a broken record as did he with his reply of “hell no”. Once I got Chloe my sweet pup I didn’t ask as much. She loved on me the way I needed. Well losing my perfect Chloe this last summer, after having her for 12 years hit me hard. I suddenly felt a hole in my life I had once felt. Now my two other dogs I love with all my heart but they aren’t like Chloe. Chloe was calm, played perfectly with the kids, loved to be snuggled, always my shadow. I felt alone without her. In August my friend posted about kittens that were just born… she needed to give them away to homes. I started with slowly showing my hubby the post. Days went by I threw it out there how our 10 year wedding anniversary was in September & what a gift it would be to have a new kitty. Guys, there was no hesitation he said okay. I thought I was going to faint. I practically rushed to tell my friend…I want one or two. Yea I threw the word “two” out there. Then I reminded my husband how I always had 2 kitties because then they could have a friend and someone to play with. I showed him their pictures. He’s known me since 7th grade, he couldn’t believe how much some looked like my precious David I had when I was younger, whom he knew and loved! Guys again he said okay to two kitties so quickly I couldn’t BELIEVE IT! And that’s how I got my ily rae & oliver gray. I know if you’re still reading this you’re probably like um Lo you have 3… well a few weeks after having my 2, my friend still had 1 left. My heart felt a tug. Also heads up I have OCD and my fav number is 3 sooo 😂 now how the heck was I going to convince my husband. Well the Lord still had His hand in all of this. And when I let my husband know he was going to go to a rescue if someone couldn’t take him, my husband said and I quote, “it’s your decision”. Whatttt 🤯 I let my friend know I wanted him and thus milo jay joined the gang. Wanna know more about what I meant by the Lords hand in it all?

Ily & Oliver were super skiddish. They definitely loved me but when I was alone. And even if I moved too fast or anything they'd flip out. And I have two little ones who want to love on them so that was hard. Day 1 of Milo being with us I almost freaked completely out thinking I made a mistake. My two I already had literally forgot this sibling of theirs even existed and the next 48 hours I watched lots of fighting and hissing. Nothing extreme thank goodness but enough to make me soooo nervous I messed up. Thanks to my Mama & sissy they reminded me how normal this was but also how great it was and to give it time. By the end of the first week it was as if they all came to live with us at the same time. Best friends. And the best part?? Milo is the perfect kitty for my children. And my husband is in love with him. He won't admit it though. And alsoooo he totally gave my ily girl confidence! She became so silly and fun and not so scared and Oliver stopped hiding under the bed so much. I was meant to have all 3 of these cuties. So thank you OCD & my friend and of course my hubby for finally freakin saying yes. Now here's to hoping Gracie James our pup will stop barking at them and they all be great friends.
