We are Family!

ALoha!

The cats arrived safe and sound on Monday May 7. CHris picked them up in Honolulu and then they flew to Kauai -- just in time for dinner together! It is so great to be complete as a family! It may seem strange to those that don't have cats -- but we are so glad we have them here.
However, the homecoming wasn't exactly as smooth as you might think....Lillith decided to chase a gecko out the window and fell out of the screen in the middle of the night.. we didn't realize she had fallen out until the morning when we got up and couldn't find her anywhere -- until I saw fur and a pushed out window screen! We thought we had lost her until Chris found her under the house. Chris -- the brave soul that he is -- braved the unknown territory under the house to retreive Lillith which took about an hour to complete. Chris and Lillith came out unscathed yet certainly a little emotionally wracked! Noah and mom waited anxiously in the house until I heard Chris grunting his way out from under the house doing the army crawl with Lillith wrapped in his sweatshirt! At least the climate is right!

Since then no more escapees. Lillith and Buddha have acclimated quite well back into our lives -- its like they never left.

Congratulations to Lilith and Buddha for their safe and healthy arrival to Hawaii. Good job Lilith on taking on the gecko patrol. Kuddos to Chris for his expert cat handling!
