Gabby

This is my most recent kitten named Gabby. I named her Gabby because she’s a Tabby… Gabby the Tabby. But she has earned her name, she’s a very talkative girl! Gabby is the youngest of three fur babies… My oldest is a fat medium-hair calico named Daisy (she’s 4 1/2) the middle is my only boy and he’s named Salty (he’ll be 4 in April) and then the Gabby-monster, as she’s so frequently called because she’s so naughty! This picture was taken either the 1st or 2nd day we had her home, and she was playing with this toy mouse that was almost as big as her head. She sure was a fiesty one right from the start, and still is, even though she’s almost 1 1/2! I had gotten Gabby about six months after having to put down my cat, Sassy, who ended up in renal failure quite by surprise, and she was only 11 1/2, so I had expected (hoped) that I would have her for a few more years, at the very least. Even though I had my two other “kids” I still missed Sassy terribly because I had her for almost eight years, and my Gabby-monster has helped fill that void. I still miss Sassy occasionally, but I never have a dull moment with my brood that I have now, that’s for certain! Gabby’s favorite things to do are climb under the blankets at night (I’ve never had an “under the blanket” sleeper before, she’s my first!), pester her older brother and sister (*especially* her brother), climb on my shoulder when I’m on the computer (which is where she is now!) and she “begs” when she wants food or attention or both… standing on her hind legs and kind of waving her front paws, just like a dog! Sorry I got so long winded, but as you can tell, I love my babies SO much!

Gabby-monster looks like she’s ready to show that little toy critter who the boss is! Sorry for your earlier loss, but it’s clear you love your babies.

I love gabby girls! My Tansey is a real talker. She’s got an opinion on EVERYTHING and makes sure we know about it.

What a dollbaby for Valentine’s Day! Smooches to all loved kitties everywhere.

Don’t worry! We’re all long-winded when talking about our babies! Gabby is a doll! It makes me want a kitten again. My “kitten” is now 5 years old! He’s the only one I’ve raised from a little tyke. The others were all above the age of 2 when adopted. As a matter of fact, my “kitten,” Teddy, gave me Valentines day kisses and a lap massage this morning. Little Gabby takes me back. *sigh*

I can see why you love your little Gabby so much!
She is a real sweetie. Reminds me of my one baby when she was a kitten.
I love my two girls too, but why do they grow so fast.
Seems like I just adoped mine and they will be eight years in next month.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Gabby sounds like a sweetie. I can just visualize her standing on her legs wavy her paws..feed me mommy. Sounds so cute. Definitely want to snorgle her!

Gabby is so cute, I’m sure everyone forgives her naughtiness–except
maybe the toy mouse!!

Yeah, it’s sure hard to stay mad at her when she’s naughty… and kitties sure know how to work *that* one on us, right?? ;)

Yes, that’s a picture that I need to get yet… I’ve tried a few times but it either doesn’t turn out or she puts her paws down before I get a chance to snap it… I’ll get her one of these days!!! ;)

I plan on coming back this summer for 2 weeks. I love mountains! Wis. is sadly lacking in that department. I moved to Montana for 20 yrs before moving here.
