Call me the crazy cat lady

We adopted a kitten after we got back from vacation in late June.  I have ALWAYS wanted a kitten growing up, but my dad had sever allergies, and I also had some allergies to them. For some reason, Siamese cats do not bother my allergies at all.  Our friends in Texas have a Siamese, and we fell in love with her when we stayed with them.  After we found out that we would not be moving to Texas while Chief is in Iraq, he decided that we needed a Siamese kitten.  So, our search was pretty short, and we found one right on Schofield, only a couple of miles from our house.  Please meet the newest member of our family, Isabella, AKA Izzy, Smelly Isabelly, Bella, pretty kitty, Isabel, and countless other names!  She does answer to all of them too!  She is a huge talker, like most Siamese are, and very loving.  She is a cross between a Snowshoe Siamese and a Blue Point Siamese. 

Siamese don't come up very often here, and people are usually asking quite a bit.  Our kitten was 12 weeks old when we got her, and her and Lucy, the 75 lb American Bulldog, were immediate friends.   Sorry about the quality of the photos!  They were taken with my phone, and the lighting wasn't great!

Anyway, she is now almost 5 months old, getting fixed this weekend along with Lucy too! (Yes, we are crazy for doing them at the exact same time!)

We are also going to try and toilet train Izzy.  Yes, you heard me right, TOILET TRAIN!  I have been reading up on it lately, and it seems like she would not have any problem with it.  We actually started it today, and the first step and second step is complete.  She had no trouble when I moved the box right next to the toilet, and I also already propped it up to be the same height as the toilet.  She has had no problem with it (she never has had an accident since she came to live with us.)  We do think she is going in to heat though because she has been very vocal the last few days, loving, loving on Lucy ALOT, and she called out for the first time tonight in this freakish meow.  Thank goodness she is getting that taken care of this weekend! 

Isabel loves to sleep in the window, play with any toy she can get her paws on, eats a TON, is very social, and loves kneading me in the middle of the night.  We all love and adore her so much, and she is such a great kitty.  She fit in to our family perfectly, and we could not have asked for a better kitty.  It took me 34 years to get a kitten, but I have one now!  I can cross that off my "life's to do list."
