Gotchaversary Time

August 1, 2021August 1, 2021 kitkatphotoLeave a comment

It’s an amazing time right now as I celebrate Maisie’s third Gotcha Day.
For those of you who might never have heard of the phrase “Gotcha Day”, it’s the day your pet companion came into your life.
I do celebrate Maisie’s birthday on June 6th but the Gotchaversary is very special. I celebrate this event on the first Monday of August as it’s a holiday here in Canada (Ontario calls it Simcoe Day or the Civic Holiday).

Would you like to know how my girl Maisie came into my life? It’s a sad story so you might need a tissue or two.
Don’t let the very first photo of her upset you. It’s the first time I have shared this photo publicly.
Miracles really do happen!

It’s my BIRTHDAY!!!

It has been an exciting ten months as Maisie’s mama and I’ve found myself living a life I had never envisioned.

This wee kitten made her way into my home, my heart and has become my everything.

Yes folks, I wholeheartedly admit that I’ve become one of THOSE cat ladies. It’s true -I put a seatbelt ( made for pets ) on her (it’s purple too, my fave colour and matches her collar minus the sparkly gemstones) and then I plan my day around providing something fun for her. A happy cat makes for a very very happy MamaKat.

Now back to my eccentric cat ways……As a baby & child photographer I am frequently planning and photographing cake smash photo sessions for the milestone first birthday.

It’s only right that my little diva kitty has her own fun session. Okay, I’ll admit that I did this more for me than Maisie. But knowing how many people love Maisie, love cat photos, why not give them some fun Maisie photos. You only turn one once so this Mama was aiming big.

We all know cats have their own agenda so planning this needed to take into consideration the patience of a young cat- still a kitten in most ways. She is feisty, sassy and intelligent.

Take a peek at some of her photos I put on Facebook

The day is young and more good things for Maisie are planned. And……a birthday party next Tuesday!

Stay tuned my purrfect friends.

Happy Hallowe’en

As a photographer, I’m always up for taking themed portraits. While Maisie’s photos have been taken mostly using the same colour backdrop (for now) I was ever so excited to bring in a splash of colour and some wardrobe items too!

I began taking photos weeks ago to see how it would go. It was just my luck the stores began displaying Hallowe’en gear the day after Labour Day. I must admit, the thought of putting a hat on a kitten was going to take some fancy dancing on my part. I almost felt as if I was dealing with Exorcist-Kitty with flailing limbs while teeth flashed and claws lashed out at me. I had good sense to curb the attempts very quickly. I do, after all, want to see how future endeavours turn out. Don’t you?

We didn’t go out today dressed up but we did stop in at Global Pet Foods to pick up some food. It was our luck that Cole, who adores Maisie, was handing out catnip treats for Hallowe’en. He got a good laugh watching Maisie stuff her face into the bin of treats. Oh ya, wire up krazykitty and send me on my way! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving arrives in Canada on the second Monday in October.

New to the immense varieties of kitten and cat foods available on the market, I couldn’t resist purchasing a tin of Thanksgiving Dinner for cats. Priced higher than I normally pay for wet food, it didn’t take long to decide to spoil the wee one. After all, I’m repeatedly thanking my lucky stars that Maisie came into my life.

I purchased this can of food at Global Pet Foods in Stratford. I never, in all my years, thought that there would be a market for a product such as this, or that I would be that kitty mama that actually purchased a can of Thanksgiving Dinner for her kitten.

And how did Miss Maisie like this food? She LOVED LOVED LOVED it.
