Goodbye Gnocchi Kitty

Lincoln loves kitties and I do too. We finally convinced Sheehan to let us get a kitty. First we adopted a cat and didn't realize it had long black hair until we got home. She also had a spraying habit that was stinking up the place. So we re-homed her to an old man that needed a companion. 

Next we found Turbo who we renamed Gnocchi kitty after the kitty in the tv series Curious George. Lincoln was in love. We tried to put him to bed one night and he said, "Where's Kitty? Kitty needs to lay in my bed." We said kitty wasn't coming to bed and he sat up and held his knees promptly saying, "I'll wait." We didn't quite know how to respond to that so after some negotiation we finally convinced him to go to bed or at least lay down and maybe kitty would come in his room. 

 She sure was super cute and I loved her white mittens. Unfortunately we just found that my Mom and Alyssa were extremely allergic to her. More-so than they ever were to Bagheera kitty.

I still miss my Bagheera kitty :(. In addition to the extended family allergies, Vance did not know how to be nice to Gnocchi kitty and would hit her and jump on her. She would scratch and bite him in defense causing him to have big scratches all over his face, hands, and arms. We decided it was best we find her a new home after giving it a couple weeks. So now Gnocchi lives on a couple acre farm not too far from us in Lehi with a little 9 year old girl to play with. 

Lincoln saying Goodbye to kitty. He said, "Oh! Kitty is going to live with her Mommy and Ganno (Grandma)." We went with that story. Every now and then he asks if kitty can come back to visit, "so I can pet hims" he says. He's so sweet and just wants a little furry friend.

 Me too, Buddy. Me, too.
