kitty cousins

Hey, did you notice our new badge? It's courtesy of The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee. We're fans of the IBKC: big time.

Point number one: The headmistress of the IBKC blog, Laurie Cinotto, is a Tacoma resident and a super-talented crafter. To check out her craft blog, Laurie Cinotto: art and craft, mosey on over here.

Catherine's kitty, Genevieve, loves all kittens
(except for the one she lives with...Peanut).

Point number two: KITTENS! Yup, sweet babies: every day in every way. Laurie and her husband, Craig, foster orphaned kittens for the Tacoma/Pierce County Humane Society. The kittens (sometimes in singles, more often in families) stay with Laurie until they're old enough for adoption. So many success stories! It just makes us giddy beyond belief. 

Penelope, aka Peanut, wants to be Genevieve's BFF. 

Point number three: Dedication. Laurie gives bunches and bunches of her time at home (kittens are hard work!), keeps the blog updated, and participates in the Humane Society's annual fundraiser, which is in progress right now (hint, hint!). We really admire her selfless, good-hearted nature...and her kitten wrangling skills. Oh, she has skills like you wouldn't believe. 

Mom's kitty, Bruno, loves kittens, too.

If you'd like to add an Itty Bitty Kitty Committee badge to you blog, follow this link. You'll be pleased to know there are several to choose from. 


If you're intrigued by all this talk of kittens and would like to donate to this year's fundraiser-- over $40,000 has been raised in the past couple weeks through the IBKC alone! So awesome!--you can go here for details. 

Matilda definitely loves kittens (because she was once a kitten mom)!

Also, you should know that a new batch of kittens has just arrived at Laurie and Craig's. Eeeeek! Now would be a great time to check in on them.
