We decided it was time to add a furry friend back into our family.\u00a0 I searched high and low and finally met this little kitty at a shelter in Littleton.<\/p>\n

The boys were overjoyed when we announced we would be getting a cat – apparently they believed our cover story that we had been visiting shelters “just to visit the animals.”\u00a0 Jack started crying actual tears of joy.\u00a0 He has been wanting a new cat for years (geriatric Molly wasn’t the curious and friendly creature he had in mind).\u00a0 We showed them pictures of the cat I found and gave them the short list of name ideas we had come up with.\u00a0 Furious discussion with new suggestions ensued.\u00a0 Once the kitty came home we all decided that she fit the name we all liked: Nimbus.\u00a0 Like the stormy cloud, and also like the quidditch broom from Harry Potter.<\/p>\n

Being a shelter cat, we don’t have a full background.\u00a0 They estimate her birth date as April 27, 2017, so she’s about a year old.\u00a0 She’s from the Bahamas.\u00a0 Apparently there have been a lot of programs shipping stray pets from the hurricane-battered countries to Colorado and other states where the adoption rates are higher.\u00a0 Her coloring leads us to think she’s of the “Russian Blue” variety, but surely not a purebred.\u00a0\u00a0Sam has declared “We have the best cat in the world!” I’m inclined to believe him.\u00a0 So far she is everything you could want in a cat.\u00a0 She’s bold, curious, gentle, playful, cuddly, patient, and a total purr machine.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
