New addition to the Bartelt family

We have expanded our family! No...not another baby! Another kitty! We adopted a 8 month old black kitten we named Raven. We got her this past Sunday July 17 from the Door County Humane Society. Shes going to be a long haired cat we are guessing.

So far its going as well as we expected and it can go with introducing Dakota to a new cat. Dakota has been alone since we got her when she was 3 months old (shes now 5) Raven tends to do the hissing at Dakota but that's because Dakota pretty much corners her and Raven has no way of getting around her. Dakota for the first couple days hid in our bedroom and barely came out. We think that was due to her vaccines we had to get updated and they were kicking in. Dakotas been coming out of our room a lot more now. But they still are getting used to each other.

Now...Alexis and Raven are best buddies! Raven lets Alexis pet her, stick toys in her face, Alexis shares her kid toys with Raven also. Every day during nap time Alexis sleeps on the couch and Raven is right next to her sleeping until Alexis wakes up. As I type this now they are sleeping next to each other. Its nice having an animal that will grow up with Alexis and tolerates her alittle more then Dakota does. Dakotas never mean towards Alexis just Dakota runs away when Alexis comes towards her.

Raven has been pretty good around here for being a kitten. She plays with hair ties mostly and then sleeps for 3 hours. So in all its going as well as it can with the two cats!

here are pictures of our new baby!


She doesn't have blue eyes..there green. She's going to be my Halloween kitty!



Dakota and Raven meeting for the first time



This picture has nothing to do with Raven but its just a cute picture of Alexis and me. We wore some what matching summer dresses last Sunday. This picture shows how she is becoming a goof when Daddy tells her to say cheese!


Alexis playing with Raven. This is a little cat toy with some feathers on the top. Alexis was pretty much just shoving the toy in her face but she didn't mind!

Just like Dakota, Raven loves to sit on Kevin's lap while he plays Playstation.

This is how they love to take naps together! Adorable!
