It was one year ago today that we brought little Bean home from the animal shelter. And what a year it's been! LOL!

John and I went to an adoption event at the shelter where we saw many kittens. And then we saw Bean. She was the runt of her litter and the only one not adopted. She was tiny, underweight and had a food allergy that was pretty much being ignored. But when she reached through the bars of the cage and grabbed onto the brim of my hat with her little paws I was lost. :-)

We'd never had a kitten before, our other cats having been adults when we adopted them, so this last year has been a learning experience! Some good, some not so good, but one look at that cute little face and we wouldn't change a thing. :-)

Speaking of changes, look how much she's grown!


Here she is, the very first day we brought her home:




And one month later: with the proper diet and lots of loving care she put on weight and is already much healthier.




And finally today, one year later: my little girl has grown up so fast!




One year down and many more to come, and I know you'll always keep us on our toes, baby Bean!

Aww, Bean says “thank you”! And I know, I couldn’t believe how lucky I got with that shot of her in her cube, just as she stuck her tongue out. One of my favorite pics of her!

Lucky little lady, your sweet treasure :-) She definitely chose her family with - we say "glücklicher Hand", here it´s appropriate to word it "she chose her family with "glücklicher Pfote" when she grabbed your cap"!!
Happy Birthday, Bean ♥

Aww, Bean says “thank you”! Ha-ha, yes it was more a “paw” than a “hand” indeed! Either way, she got her point across - “take me home!” :-)

Aww, Bean says “thank you”! Yes, she’s still a little small for a year old. She probably always will be a smaller cat because she didn’t have that great a start when she was born.

Oh, she’s a handful alright! I’ve never seen a cat get into more mischief on a daily basis than her. :-)

A little late but still ... Happy Birthday Bean, you couldn't have chosen a better family.
So it's been one year already? Geez time flies and I'm so looking forward to finally meet her and Mandy and of course you and John ;o)
Hugs to the whole Nice-Miller family!

It’s never too late to celebrate a birthday! Bean says “Aww, thanks!” and she can’t wait to see you, too. She loves meeting new people! And Mandy will want to crawl in your lap as well.

Only a few more weeks! SQUEE!

P.S. - did you see they added Gabe and Nicki Aycox to the con??

You meant with "the runt of her litter "?

Well looks like she was at the beginning so naughty and then, now she looks so calm.

Runt of the litter means that she was the smallest one of all the kittens.

Oh trust me, she’s still very naughty! LOL!
