New Addition to our Family!



Well Im pretty excited. Our little family is growing! Today we bought our first pet. She is a siamese kitten and her name is Isis. I think the name suits her as she has the blue-est eyes ever, "icey". Isis was a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship was adopted by other ancient cultures such as Rome. She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, patron of nature and magic.The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and was born on the fourth intercalary day.Isis also is known as the goddess of simplicity, from whom all beginnings arose, and was the Lady of bread, of beer, and of green fields. In later myths, Ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris, relived each year in rituals. The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Graeco-Roman world, continuing until the eventual abandonment of paganism in the Christian era.


Ok so I thought that was pretty interesting. She sure is quite the curious kitten! She is 5 months old and adjusting quite well. I brought her home and showed her straight to her kitty litter box. Then I decided we would walk through each room. Well she just loved our upstairs bathroom. Im not sure why but just about 5 minutes ago I found her sprawled out on the floor up there. But when we first entered she went right for the toilet. Pretty funny her paws kept slipping on the toilet seat and then she decided she wanted to climb some more thats when she almost fell in because she used the lid to boost her up and that didnt work out so well seeing that it she closed the lid and it pulled her down with it!


I was cleaning the kitchen and she wanted to be part of it all. In the dish washer, in the cabinets, on the laundry, anywhere I was, there she was! I love her already! Im very excited! She also reminds me of Snicky B. And I do miss her very much, so this is going to help. Not to mention I have been dying for a pet! Love to all!
