The Adoption

I found this sweet, tiny little Steiff kitty at the flea market...



She seemed to want to come home with me...



Isn't she dear? She looked a little lost...



Starla! No! Be careful....that's a Steiff!



But I need not have worried.
Starla sniffed the little kitty and licked her on the top of her head...



And then she claimed her as her own...



She guarded her...



protected her...



and seemed to reassure the little kitty that she would take care of her...



and then she took a little nap with her...



I think it was love at first sight.
Starla never had a kitten of her own.
Now she does.
