Welcome all you cat lovers and bibliophiles!
I just learned that today is the the longest day of the year, in cat time that would mean longer minutes to nap in the day. To all you readers of this blog who have never met me or my cats, my name is Alesia and I have two cats with three eyes total. If you are wondering why one of my cats has two eyes and one cat has one eye, your guess is as good as mine. I honestly don't know.
Miss Kitty is my oldest and first cat ever and she has one eye. She was born with two eyes and the first time I met her she had two eyes. As the story goes, Miss Kitty came to live at the Anderson house for one week after having a litter of kittens. She was a skinny cat with two eyes and a sweet and spunky personality. One evening, Miss Kitty's first owner came and picked her up from my house. A few months came and went and a cat with one eye appeared in the same spot Miss Kitty was first spotted in. It was Miss Kitty again! My dad tried to walk her back to where we thought her home was, but Miss Kitty had already decided that she wanted to live with us! Nine years ago, Miss Kitty moved into a house with a dog named Lenny, a cockatiel named Rocky, and a bunny named Wesley aka Bun. Today, Miss Kitty lives with Lenny, Rocky, another cat named Flowers, and a new big puppy named Buddy. Miss Kitty loves Lenny, but she is not a fan of the other animals. She loves her human family, so she does a lot of hissing and and meowing to voice most of her disgust with her other animal family members. Miss Kitty is a sweet one cat family cat living in a two cat family. Her sister is nothing like her in personality.
Flowers is my younger cat and she has lived at my house since she was six months old. Today she is about 3 and a half years old. Flowers is a very shy, sweet and inquisitive cat. She loves other cats especially Miss Kitty. Flowers is an indoor cat, while Miss Kitty gets to venture outside, so Miss Kitty is the first and only cat Flowers has ever met in person. They both have come a long way to co-habitat somewhat peacefully. At Christmas, they played ring around the Christmas tree. They act like little sister and big sister to each other and each day with them is never a dull moment.
Miss Kitty and Flowers love for me to sing or talk to them, so I decided to read cat books to them this summer and share my opinions on which cat books we liked most, which ones made me laugh, and most of all which ones resemble the personalities of Miss Kitty and Flowers. Each cat book I decide to review will be a picture book appropriate for young preschool to elementary children and cat lovers alike. I might even review a few chapter books about cats, if I find some are not too long. I plan on sharing some crafts and other DIY activities for young children, older children and young at heart cat lovers to do that have a similar theme to each of the cat books. I hope you enjoy this cat filled reading journey as much as me and my sweet furry girls do. Pull up the purrfect seat and have fun!
Sincerely,
Alesia, Flowers, and Miss Kitty
