Trinity
Don't let that pretty face fool you...
She will eat your cables...
And steal from your garbage...
(Current favourite toy: A twisted plastic bag top)
But, she is pretty darn cute.
"See? I'm being a good girl!"
...As she goes off to tear the bottom of the spare bedroom boxspring to pieces.

Toddler decorates kitten
This is the most laid back kitten I've ever seen.
(Didn't get a chance to pull out the Nikon today to do any picture taking, but I have lots of pictures with my Blackberry that I'll load up tomorrow. :))

What are you up to?
That's a good question. So much has happened in so little time, I don't even know where to begin.
Well, to start off, we moved 500 kilometers east across the province. The move was long and tiring because we were homeless for 2 weeks (between houses). My folks were kind enough to let the three of us stay with them during that time, which was great and all, but I gotta say... it's nice to be living with a closet instead of a suitcase again. :P
With the move aside, things have been fairly pleasant going. I was stressed to the max with all the life changes going on this year, but things have calmed down now significantly. We're all moved in, and cozy & happy in our new house.
I still really miss Yoko a ton, and I think about her every day. I can't believe she's been gone 3.5 months already. She would have loved this new place. Lots of little nooks to watch birds from windows, and snuggly areas by fireplaces (mind you, in 38C temperatures, that's not necessary :P). In some ways, I have to admit, it's nice to be out of our old house... because there were so many reminders of her. Starting fresh here has been good to help get through it - even though she's still always on my mind. This blog will always be dedicated to her.
So anyway, as I said before, I want to make some changes to this blog. I can see in my absence that Blogger has changed it's layout, which I'll have to get used to (which is fine for now).. but when I get chances during the day, I'm going to start working on programming my own site on the side. I'm going to give myself a realisitic goal of having it finished by the end of the summer (I know - that sounds ridiculously long, but summers are always crazy around here, especially in a new city that we have to explore! ;))
On to some really good news, which is why people come here (or USED to come here, for that matter). Kitties!
I tossed around the idea of fostering again, because I didn't think I would be ready for another kitty for a while. But, little did I realize, having a house without a cat living in it is really hard for a 'cat lady'. The movers laughed at me because all these cat trees/houses/dishes/toys/etc/etc/etc came into the house on moving day.... even though we had no cat to move in.
After things had settled and we had pictures on the walls and day-to-day routine set in.... I started getting the itch. Especially with my parents, friends, and family members all owning cats.
The other day, my need was strong. I told Doug it was already time, and he was on board.
We set out to look for a kitty at the shelters. Long story short, it took some searching, and it was emotional for me (with Yok on my mind and all)... and then, we fell in love with a little girl tuxie.
Say hello to....
She's a little sweetheart. I knew the moment I saw her that she would make a perfect fit to our family. She's not a typical kitten (I actually didn't set out FOR a kitten either, since I'm very much pro-adopt-older-kitties)... she's an old soul. Sure, she loves to play, but she's so mild-mannered and relaxed around us and our little guy. As I type this, she snoozes belly up on my laptop keyboard (I have a USB one plugged in so I can actually type :P). She's friendly, and sweet, and I just adore her. We all do.
She's no where near a replacement for my Yokee... she's just a nice kitty that needed a home. Her brother was adopted before her and she was all by herself. She needed us as much as we needed her. I picked her up and her motor was so loud as she rolled around in my arms. It was love on both ends :)
Well, that's all I have to report for now. Tomorrow I break out my Nikon for some real picture taking. Lots more kitty pictures are on their way!

Some time away to heal the soul...
Thank you again and again for everyone's kind words about Yoko. It means so, so, so much to me. I knew that with everyone out there, I could find comfort and understanding with my (cat) blogger friends.
It's been a hard road. My plan, once I'm fully gathered, is to reconstruct "The Crazy Cat Lady" site. As usual with my breaks, I am still here reading all of you every single day. I never miss a post.
We are relocating across the province in a couple weeks, so I anticipate no posts again until I'm settled in the new house.
The conversation around fostering is being discussed. It'll take me a while to find a new shelter to work with (already have a couple in mind). Our little guy is old enough now that I wouldn't have any trouble with it. We have a spot in the new house, with a cat door and all, which would be perfect.
Fostering is all my heart can handle still for now though. I've been asked by many people if I will be adopting anytime soon, and my answer is just - I don't know. I can't help but feel like I would be just "replacing" her... And that makes me feel sad. But, we'll see. This is the first time in my life I've been cat-less. It feels lonely and empty. I'm getting lots of smiles as I read through everyone else's sites though :)
Okay, that's all I have for now. I still have a video to post, which will come with the site makeover. So, until then.
Cheers,
Kittykye

Goodbye My Sweet Friend...
You will always be in my heart.
[Thank you all so much for your comments and condolences during this time. Every single one of them has made me cry.
I will post again when I regain strength. Right now I just need some time with my thoughts...]
