Meet Millicent Pearl

We got a cat on Tuesday. Her name is Millicent Pearl.

We decided on Millicent Pearl (Milli for short) for two reasons. 1. She has an M on her forehead so we wanted a name that started with M and 2. our dog is named Georgia Diamond (Gigi for short) and we wanted a name that fit with it.

Our friend said it sounded like we had two old ladies living with us. =) The more we are around her the more determined we are that Millicent fits her name perfectly. She tolerates Hubs and I, but loves the kids. She wants to be where ever they are. Wednesday night we shut all the kid's bedroom doors bc Milli kept jumping on the beds and bothering them. She slept under Hubs and my bed and cried for her kids all night long. She didn't come out from under our bed till the kids got up then she spent the morning in the kitchen with them.

Milli and Gigi aren't on speaking terms yet. Milli hides under Bear's bed while Gigi is in the house and growls at Gigi any time she dares come in to Bear and Popeye's room. Wednesday Gigi felt the need to check on her kids and the intruder every few minutes, but yesterday she didn't seem to really care. She checked on Milli a few times but mostly spent her time wherever I was.

The kids love Milli and keep telling us how much they love having a cat. I guess we're gonna have to change our 'about' section of the blog now.
