Chip!

Introducing Chip.


We're thinking of chocolate chips here, not potato chips. Since we have the dog Choco, we hope that by naming the kitty Chip, the two will eventually get along together. And no, please don't even suggest that there might be a Dale in the future...

The first picture was taken the day after she came to us, and the next picture is of Chip settled happily on one of my quilts. I woke her up from a nap.

I found a cage at the recycle shop and Chip is living in there when Choco is out and about the house and then Choco goes into a similar larger cage when we let Chip out of her place of refuge. Sort of like the changing of the guards (and remember I'm locking the front door whenever Choco is out too.) Both cages have quilts over them and I wrap them both in color and love each night.

Velvet and Cleo have accepted Chip's presence but Patora is still not happy. Chip finds the world very exciting and everything is a toy. I admire the way this small animal adapts to its surroundings. No hanging on to loneliness or bitterness or wondering why life is going one way or another. Just jump in and and explore. Lessons to be learned everywhere for both me and Chip.

Cute name and I like the idea of the bird cage. I don't know how that will work when Chip is bigger though.

Sounds like keeping everyone seperated and caged is a lot of work, but presumabley its necessary and works... Glad you found a name :-)

How do they manage to look just so super cute.
I had one that small that is now keeping my bed warm for me. She grew.

Chip is adorable and the name fits perectly. She looks so at home with her siblings. Take care of the little Chip..let.

Gosh Chip is adorable and so so cute!! As much as I love Jimmy (who is at this moment destroying my house!) I go silly over kittens. You are such a wonderful person for giving her a home. I love the name.

Hooray for Chip! And hooray for kind Tanya who gave her a happpy home! What a face - no one could have resisted her. Here's hoping Choco and Chip make up soon so there's not so much "close this door, open that door". And hope Patora comes around soon - I'm sure a kitten's antics are a little wearing on the feline nerves if there's not been one in the house for a while.
