Introducing
Pepper Mint. Pepper was originally one of four kittens on the
verge of being sent off to a farm; made to live on their own with the
hopes that they'd live. The farm would be unknown and probably abandoned,
so there was a high chance of them being eaten within days of going there.
Because I'm not so cruel, I took it upon myself to find the little angels
homes. Turns out mine was one.
The "weekend kitty" was supposed to be a test to see how well my boyfriend
would like a new cat. He's not a big fan, and has already had to learn to
live with my older two. Weekend kitten was a huge success; he wanted to
name her the first night. (And all of this was from someone who, as a
child, was allergic to cats.) Keeping in tradition with my other pets,
having candy names, we had a hard time finding a name to fit her
personality. For a good 24 hours she was called Twix, we loved the nick
name Twixi. It was a bit hard for me to actually say though, so with the
help of my mother we came up with Peppermint. Pepper ... what a name for a
kitten with that much spunk!
There is no end to this little girl's bountiful energy and love. She can't
go a moment without being curled up next to someone kneading away with her
little paws. Heck, she'll even knead the air if she sees fit. It only took
three days, and already she's our little girl.
Pepper is an amazing little ball of joy, who has wormed her way into our
hearts. There is still a little bit of training to be done (mainly
involving the difference in litter box vs. house plant) and of course "my
plate is not your plate" .. but she's a smart little thing. Her new big
sister Candy Cane and big brother Gumdrop should help teach her the ropes
quite well.
We've also got a short clip of her second day home playing with her new toys!
