Tippsy and Zippy

Well most of you know that I adopted an abandon kitten 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and I named her Tippsy. Well I took Tippsy to the cottage for Thanksgiving and my sisters two boys fell in love with her and they wanted a new cat or kitten but my sister was not sure if she was ready for the committment. Well as the first day went by my sister was slowly falling in love with this cute little girl.



I wanted to get my sister and nephews a kitten for their birthdays, but I was told no. Now my reason for this was 21 yrs ago I gave my sister a kitten she named Gizzy, and she had a kitten they named Bicky. Now Gizzy died 2 yrs agon and Bicky died just before the summer. So you see since she had 21 yrs of cats from me I wanted to give that gift once again.



So as the weekend carried on I gave more and more of the responibility to my nephews. Since Tippsy mother left the litter at 4 weeks I was feeding her with an eye dropper every few hours, I taught her to use the kitty litter, and I basically hand raised her. The boys took to this responsibility quickly and I must add were very good at it.



Well by Sunday my sister and the boys were convinced Tippsy was going home with them. Now they had to convince their father. He was a push over once he saw their dog Tazzy with Tippsy. Taz is an Australian cattle dog and she protected and cared for the kitten well. So on Monday I very willingly left the boys and my sister and husband with their birthday present of Tippsy.



I rushed home on the Monday called my friend on the farm where I got tippsy and rushed out to pick up her sister which I decided to call Zippy. Zippy is such a great little kitten, so much fun but is at the stage where she is into everything.



I am including some pictures of Tippsy with the eyedropper feeding and Zippy in her reclining chair. I will share more about Zippy in her own post soon.
