New addition to family...Izzy

Well I ended up with the 1st kitten that loved on me. I named her Izzy. She is so tiny. She is only like 6 weeks old. We got her at the pound. I was holding her and she was purring like crazy. I ended up holding her the entire time we were looking at other kittens and cats there were so many of them. Then the guy came in and asked if we found one and I was like this one and left the room. I don't think it was the one Chris wanted. That was a horrible trip. I ended up crying. There were so many cats wanting attention. Then there was one big one that looked like Marvin and I wanted him so bad but I knew there was no way Macamoe would take to an adult. I just think it is horrible to see the adult cats because they were probably loved at one time and now they are just stuck in a cage. I ended up crying a couple times that day. It was rough. Macamoe isn't to happy about this one but she ended up sleeping with her in bed with us and didn't know it. Mac hasn't tried to attack her but does growl. She is sitting closer to her now so we are making progress. I wasn't going to let the kitten sleep with us because I didn't want to upset Macamoe. She sleeps with us every night. But within 5 minutes of being in bed she found us. She is so small though it scares me sleeping with her. She wants to wedge herself right up to Chris' back. I keep waking up to make sure he hasn't rolled over on her. She is an absolute lover. Chris thinks she was a great pick now. But we created a monster already because every time she would cry we picked her up so now she wants to be held all the time. She loves to lay on your chest. She has stripes like Macamoe but has white feet, belly, and nose/chin. One of her legs is orange stripped and she has orange spots. She goes to the vet tomorrow to get checked out really good. I am not looking forward to going back to that place. I started crying just making the appointment because the girl was like oh I am so sorry about Marvin. They loved him there. Chris said I need to wear a sign that says don't mention Marvin. I am going to see if they can trim her little claws because she keeps getting hung up on blankets and stuff.
