Four more feet
September 24, 2007
Meet Scout, the newest addition to our house.
She is a great big ball of tail-chasing, leaf-pouncing, 12 week-old kitten energy. Super sweet, a bit shy and so cute, she is just what we needed. She was found in a hotel parking lot, apparently abandonded and has been cared for by a string of volunteers for the past few weeks. I had mentioned to a few people that we were thinking about getting a kitten. One thing led to another and now, here she is. Welcome home, sweet Scout.
Gorgeous - you will have to make her the tuffet out of Amy's book. Any excuse to sew right? I'm so in love with your coffee cuff things - bought some linen to have a go. Thank you for the inspiration.

Oh my! What a cutie pie. Make sure the girls snuggle her a LOT - that's the best way for her to overcome that shyness. Congrats!

Hi Scout!
She has such a delicate pink nose, and she looks like she has a big smile on her face. Oh, kittens are such fun!

Oh, she's beautiful! And isn't she just the trooper. Love the name

How sweet! She looks just like our Oreo. We're contemplating adding 4 more feet to out house - a puppy. Our 13 year old dog (my first baby) recently passed away and now I have a hole in my heart.

Hi Scout! She is adorable:) And good for you & your family taking her in! So wonderful that she has a home where she can be loved:)
(Sorry to go on... I use to work in an animal shelter, so I have a soft spot in my heart for abandoned animals... and love it when people give them homes!)

Congrats on your latest addition to your family. The girls, and you must be thrilled.

Congrats on the new addition to the Hill Road Gang. My monitor must be off-Scout looks black and white, not ginger!

She is darling! I have a special place in my heart for black and white cats - in my opinion they have the best personalities (we have one too).

Posted by: Jen | September 25, 2007 at 07:57 AM

She's sooo sweet! if we didn't have such bad allergies here, I know we'd have "two cats in the yard" :0)
Posted by: Roxanne | September 25, 2007 at 06:27 PM
Oh...too too sweet. Can't let my girls know! They so want a kitty. They say...maybe after Tango (our 16 year old dog)...is...you know....gone!

Thank you so much for the zipper in the cushion tutorial! It is exactly what I needed this morning, as I am just about to make a couple of cushions and was debating the best method of zipper insertion. Your instructions are so clear and lead to such a professional finish. Thanks again!
Posted by: Lara | September 25, 2007 at 08:35 PM
very sweet Erin.
Posted by: erin s | September 25, 2007 at 10:46 PM
oh what a sweet face. Congrats on Scout, she is so sweet. I do like hearing about rescuing abandoned animals, they always seem to work out so well for us.
I haven't forgotten our swap, although I have gotten a little sidetracked. We'll get to it soon, is what I'm hoping, at least : )
Posted by: Blair | September 25, 2007 at 11:28 PM
A cat is such a great addition to a family. Welcome Scout, I'm sure that you'll be well loved.
Posted by: Jodie | September 25, 2007 at 11:39 PM
in my experience, black and white kitties are the most affectionate. and don't change that name for anything (in the future, scout and pickle will make an adorable pair!)
Posted by: Kristin | September 26, 2007 at 08:18 AM
Welcome Scout!
She is so sooooooo pretty.
Her markings are unique!
Posted by: Grandma | September 26, 2007 at 08:56 AM
hello scout!
you look as though you are smirking a little in that picture!
Posted by: aprill | September 26, 2007 at 07:50 PM
Cute kitty!! I love that energy kittens have, I laugh my head off watching them do their thing!
Posted by: Steph | September 26, 2007 at 09:52 PM
So nice to hear lovely rescue stories. We have a show here called RSPCA Animal Rescue and they have such beautiful stories.
Cats that have been lost for months or years and turn up states away.

He looks a lot like our cat Punt. She will give you a lot of friendship in return, I am sure of that!
Posted by: sabine | September 30, 2007 at 12:19 PM
"He", I mean "she" of course!
Posted by: sabine | September 30, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Scout is such a cutie! She's so lucky to find a home like yours.
