You knew it was coming, right? Kitten time happened this weekend. The family gifted me a kitten way back in April for my birthday but we had decided that it would be best to wait until after Aaron and Erin’s wedding to actually get one. Plus I was still not ready after losing Buddy in January. This was the weekend that “my” kitten was ready to come home. He was born August 17th which is a special day in my family with 3 marriages taking place over the years on that day so it was meant to be.

We headed to Cummings, Georgia to pick up our little bundle of fluff. Pick up was not without a bit of drama but we worked it out and officially picked up this little nugget at 10:05 a.m. on Saturday.

I am smitten. He is going to be so much fun. Holly met him in his carrier a few times already and sniffed, was not impressed, might have hissed a little bit and is feeling a bit out of whack. We will introduce very slowly and safely and we are hopeful that all will settle down eventually. I am confident all will be well in a while. Thank you for indulging me – there might be more pictures coming…. You can follow Maksim on Instagram by clicking here.
