Min lilla flicka

I've spent the last month or so scavenging kijiji, shelters, and breeders websites looking for the purr-fect kitten. I finally found pictures of a newborn litter from a breeder an hour outside of my city, and immediately booked an appointment to come meet them - I thought the idea of picking one from just a photo to be quite morbid, you really have to meet one to fall in love.
So I panicked on the drive over, worrying about how I could be so shallow as to just "pick" one; yet, to my surprise (and relief), she picked me. 

Lilla is the curious baby girl on the right.

Baby Lilla cuddling me.

The face of an angel.

It's hard to tell by the photo, but this is how she won me --- dug her claws into my scarf & sweater, gazed up at me with those adoring big blue eyes, and would NOT let go! When I tried to put her down she looked right up at me and let out the saddest little meow. I knew she was mine. 

Spent a whole day baby-proofing my apartment and buying everything she could ever need. I've bought even more since this picture was taken. The pink and B&W scratching post with the toy on top is probably my favorite!

So that is my baby ♥I named her "Lilla" which means "little" in Swedish.She is a lilac point Himalayan / Ragdoll X, born October 5th.I get to take her home on December 1st and could not be more anxious!And, yes, I already got Lilla her own mini Christmas stocking.She is going to be the most spoiled kitten ever.

Yours truly, oxo, Ette ♥
