Awww Mondays

Join us every Monday for Awww…Mondays.

Post a picture that makes you say Awww…and that’s it.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Awww…Mondays post.

What better way to start the week than with a smile.

Today is Lil’ Bit’s day. When she first came to us she didn’t know how to play. She was just worried about survival. Being with Squeaker she has learned how to play. It takes a kitten to teach a cat how to play.

      She was feral and very hungry. We started feeding her right away and eventually she would let hubby pet her. Took months. 🙂

    It’s so true, and good for Squeaker and the role she has played in Lil’ Bit’s life. Our pups had forgotten how to play until Chia came and brought new life to this house!

      It takes just the right baby to come along for them to figure out how to play. 🙂

    My mother-in-law had a kitten that would hide until her little dog would walk by and then it would jump out at him and they’d start playing. Super cute. Glad to hear Squeaker has brought the play out of Lil’ Bit. 🙂

    this makes me feel joy and laugh out loud. so cute… so glad she found you for her parents. the only time I have seen a kitten play other than videos was in 2008 when my son got Jesse James who looked just like Lil Bit.. he ran and jumped and leaped for joy

    Tails Around the Ranch says:

    Aww, that is so cute! With Elsa’s puppy mill background, she was a survivor when I first adopted her. It took Sam to teach her how to be a dog while Norman taught her how to wag her tail. Thanks for adding us to your blog hop. You’re always so kind and gracious. Hugs and tail wags. Happy Monday, Sandee.
