It all started 3 (4 this october) years ago when we found a baby kitten maybe 4-5 weeks old on the side of the road, she immediately stole our hearts (espicially my  daughter who was 1 at the time and held the kitty wrapped in a blanket the whole way home). The decision was made to keep her and we named her Tinkerbelle, because she is very sweet and dainty :) i wish i would have taken pictures of her when she was little but i guess it never crossed my mind back then! This is Tinkerbelle, 3 years old (was just taken last month) and she is our Cali/Tabby or ''Tabbico'' as my little one calls her lol.


Then, about 4 months ago, we wanted another addition for our family, so we met with Tinkerbelle's vet and she advised us to get a fixed male, someone who would be submissive to tinkerbelle's dominance. my husband and i searched and searched but we couldnt find the right cat, the one that would compliment her, or one that just stole our hearts.. finally after a month of searching my husband found an add on the computer, someone was giving away free brown tabby kittens! so we contacted the person giving them away, and they had 1 little boy left! we drove the next day over an hour to bring our little man home, who was only about 6 weeks old, my husband and i decided to name him Jax  he was a rowdy trouble maker from the start, and tink did not react well at first. so he had to be locked in our bedroom for almost two weeks. finally after those two weeks we let him out after many visits through the door, and everything was perfect! he brings out the 'youngin' in Tink, she acts like a baby kitten when they play together insead of a 4 year old adult lol. Here are some pictures of Jax and Tinkerbelle.

This is Jax, probably 7 weeks old (roughly a week after we got him)


The (L) Is Tinkerbelle and the (R) is Jax @ 11 weeks est.


Jax @ about 15 weeks.... laying in his favorite spot..... ontop of Tinkerbelle


And this one was just taken the other day Jax (L) @ 18 weeks, and Tinkerbelle (R)

Oh they are too/two adorable for words!

Good for you for searching long and hard for a companion for your first furbaby.

Thanks Ritz!

it sure did seem like it took forever, and honestly we had our doubts for weeks that Jax would be a perm. fixture because we just didnt know if they would get along! But, he has been here 3 months at least, and they havent had a single fight, Tink puts him in his place when he needs it, and of course Jax is still a trouble maker!! We were espically worried about keeping him when we found out at his first vet appt he was positive for FIV ((he is getting retested when he is 6 months old for an accurate diagnosis, at which time we are testing Tink too since she never was)) but has firmly decided that whether one or the other or both of the cats are FIV+, Jax is here to stay.. Tink is an amazing cat for my anxiety! and Jax is such a sweetie when he isnt trying to sneek bites of your food off ur plate! lol
