We got a new Cat!!! And shes gorgeous.

A few months ago Kael came into my room first thing in the morning and said "I think we need two kitties."
I asked him why we needed two kitties.  He said it was so Zuli could have a friend! I thought it was so cute. I told him we would look into it. We almost bought him a new kitty for his birthday but the one we really like had already been adopted. A trip to the SPCA became a regular weekend occurance. The kids loved going to see all the cats and playing with them. After not finding a cat we were 'in love' with after a few weeks we put the thought of buying another cat off to the side for a bit.
While looking for something to do this weekend Kael said he wanted to go look at the kitties, so off we went to the SPCA. We didnt go there with the intention of buying another cat. But then Evan pointed out this cute, fluffy and loveable kitten. I went over to check her out and she snuggled right up and was purring instantly. Im a sucker for a cuddly kitty! We checked her out a bit more. She  was super friendly with the kids and has some very unique quirks about her. So we adopted. After all, who could resist this face!!!

Here is one of the things we found so interesting about her. We loved her pointy ears and long hair between her paws. Reminds me of a Lynx. While they couldnt tell us what breed she was, Im pretty sure there is Lynx Point and Tabby in there (Zuli also has some Lynx Point in her). Also, she has somewhat of a 'two face'. It doesnt take a second glance to notice the line directly down her face. One side is more black, the other more copper. Kinda cool!
But the MOST unique thing about her is this.....Notice anything a little strange???

Not really a great picture but still noticeable. Still cant see what I mean? Then check this one out!

Thats RIGHT! This kitty has THUMBS!!!??
She is a "Polydactyl Cat" and I thought it was the coolest thing!

Anyways, we are loving her to pieces. Zuli is having a hard time adjusting but im hoping that with time they can learn to be in the same room! We're in trouble if that doesnt happen.
Here are some more pics of the kids and Nova.

I managed to get some new Kitty beds made up this morning. Zulis bed was looking pretty gross so she needed a new one anyways. They arent the greatest, but will do until I have more time to make some better ones.
