Camera Critters

Second week of my furry little babies.




This geeky little one is a young Tiger aka Yipper. I gave her the name Tiger because she fights like a tiger, but once she started meowing or should I say yipping, I changed her name to Little Yipper. When she was a little kitten she had huge ears. She has since grown into them.


She loves to climbs trees. She will take off running and next thing, she is in the middle of a tree.



(Can you see the Little Yipper?)


A couple of years ago, I went into the shed to get the lawnmower out. I was about to walk in when a snake poked it's head out from under the mower. I am terrified of snakes. After doing my ooh-ooh snake dance, I yelled and ran for the phone. Fast forward to last May. I opened the shed door and seen an orange streak. Thinking snake, I prompting did my dance and yelled. Coming to my senses I realized that snakes aren't orange. I carefully went in and seen two little kittens. Well I started talking the "OOH aren't you the cutest little thing." I reached down to pick Yipper up. She scratched and bloodied my finger. The little bitch, but I don't think she ever since a person before. I left them alone and started mowing, thinking what I should do. Do I call animal control or what? I decided that they could stay as long as they kept the snakes out of the shed. I would tame them and find good homes. Do you know how hard it is to find kittens a home? Around here, very hard. Everyone loves kittens, but they say, "They become cats." So what's their point. We were babies and grew into adults. I tried to find them homes, but also grew very attached to them. So this is the story with Yipper and Ralph (next week's Critter). I guess you could say they found themselves a good home.


One of the funniest thing is to watch her walk. She puffed her shoulder's out and looks like a line backer or a muscle woman.

(Isn't she pretty?)


She isn't geeky looking anymore. She grew into those ears, but don't let this pretty face fool you. She still has a mean streak in her, but she is a sweet little girl.




To see other cute critters, big and small, furry and not, please visit our host Misty. Have a good weekend everyone.

She is quite pretty! How fortunate she is that she found your shed. :) You are so right, it's so hard to find good homes for kittens. I can't imagine not enjoying being a cat owner!

I played too.
