Craig and I adopted Evie from one of his friends when we were at his home for our summer break from college. I had planned on getting a kitten when I came back from his house in Houston, Texas. But, his friend's mother adopted 4 little kittens from a stray that they fed around their house. So, of course, I got excited and went over to meet them. There were two boys who were white and grey and the two girls who were calicos.

I wasn't able to bring her home right away though. Craig's Mom has two elderly cats (they're about 15 years old) and didn't want them fretting about the new kitten. So instead, I waited until about 5 days before we left to come back to West Virginia and left Evie with her brothers and sisters until I could bring her over. The older cats don't go upstairs at his house so we locked Evie in a rather large bedroom that we slept in. She relaxed almost instantly and purred and cuddled and she was happy and alright with being away from her brothers and sisters.

And 5 days after that, we started on our 2 day journey back to West Virginia (which she did pretty well on). And she's been happy ever since. Well, I should say "crazy" ever since - but it's that good kitten crazy. :)
