Kisses for Fluffy

Yesterday I got Gaby a cat!!!!!!!

I've wanted Gaby to have pet to grow up with, for awhile now... and as much as I'd have loved to get a newborn kitty, it was just going to work out a lot cheaper to adopt an older cat. I found a kitty on TradeMe, that was being given away - I emailed the owner & last night we brought her home!

She's 2yo, neutered & immunised - and very fluffy!!! Gaby adores her, and much to my surprise, the cat adores Gaby too! I think it's still a bit of a novelty for her - and I'm sure soon enough the cat will annoy her lol.. but for now, tis all good!

We are naming the cat Fluffy - because well, she's a little fluffball, but also because Gaby can say Fluffy pretty well! Last night Gaby tried to brush Fluffy's teeth, tried to give her a drink of water out of a cup - and this morning she tried to share her toast with her, and also gave her a few books to read - before playing peek-a-boo with her!

Drool Drool Droooooool

Gaby was never really a drooly baby - a lot less than other babies it seemed. I expected that it would only improve - not get worse... BUT with these 2yo molars starting to make their appearance[s], she seems to have a large puddle of drool surrounding her at all times! Crazy the effects these little toofs can have!


We went to the beach this morning & Gaby had a lot of fun - I'm glad we went so early because it's quite warm out now. She didn't get as wet as she did last time (thank goodness), and she didn't eat any sand (hoorah!) but she certainly enjoyed running around and playing with the sand. She is a bit anxious around the water, but that doesn't really upset me - at least I know she isn't going to go running into the water without me watching! She was quite happy if I was holding her & walking in the water, but no way would she let her little toes enter that water!


We got home & she had a nap at midday - VERY unlike Gaby, when she got up she was shaking like a leaf & had a temperature of 38.7... We had a bit of a cuddle and I gave her some pamol and ibuprofen (pamol for the temp, ibuprofen for the pain), and the temp started going down a little (to 38.5) & she's now in bed again, so hopefully when she wakes up she'll be quite a bit cooler. Scary when she burns up like that! She doesn't appear to be sick, so I am pretty sure the fever is related to teething - especially taking into consideration all the drool and the bright red cheeks!
