A Mamma's pride n Joy!

Mini Dee is our little 'special' baby. Her mom came from an animal shelter and had distemper when she was pregnant. So Mini Dee has something called "Cerebral Hypoplasia" or www.chkittyclub.com , she had 4 brothers and sisters and only 1 other kitty got it, Victoria (Tori) who was returned for adoption at 1 year old, and still needs a home now.... Anyways it just makes her a little unstable on her feet. Her brothers weren't letting her eat, so she was a tiny squirt of a thing so Rob told me to bring her home and we'd fatten her up, well...let's just say the rest is history. Anyways on to 'A Mama's Pride N Joy. Mini Dee is not a 'agile' as other cats, and it takes her quite some time to learn how to do things that come easy for normal cats. The first time she jumped on the bed, the first time she climbed on my lunch bag, the first time she jumped on the couch were HUGE Events!

Well she's been staying at the clinic till we got our Pet Deposit taken care of, and we brought her home this week FINALLY! I was concerned with how she'd do with stairs as she's never been around them. She sat at the top of our stairs and contemplated how she was going to approach them for quite a while before finally giving it a go. She took it slowly and did it step by step, and only slipped on 1 of the stairs. I was so proud and happy for her I was crying. She literally BEAMS when she accomplishes something. She will be 3 years old this year. As for her name, if you've seen or met DeeJay Mini Dee is a spitting image of her, only more slender, and has a lot of the same quarks as DeeJay, so Rob named her Mini Dee.
Look at how tiny she was!
My cute baby girl!
She LOVES to jump and climb on top of my lunch bag, this day the little velcro flap at the top fell through and she fell inside, she stayed there for hours :)
