    Tabitha the Cat

    Introducing the new member of our family: Tabitha Jones Madden

    One dark and lonely night, I heard a little puss puss cry from outside. At first, I thought it was Joel. But to my surprise, there she was. A sad, and very hungry kitten. She looked groomed, and was a little chubby, so I assumed she was a neighbor’s cat and ignored it. But she came back a week later and she was so skinny and I could tell she was starving. I couldn’t resist. I fed her, and she was as happy as Benji Madden in a sorority house. Its been 2 months now, so I think it’s safe to call her mine. So I went online and ordered her a house, an Italian Villa actually. And inside the house I put a framed picture of me; and no I’m not joking. So here she is, the wonderful, the glorious Tabitha Jones Madden

    Photo taken with love by her mother Nicole Camille Richie.

      Dans ma dernière Hollyday, I have fed a stray cat, and I would like
      to take him in my house. But he was happy in the wild with
      her friends. I was sad to let him away to me ! I have named him
      “Shadow” (he have shadows color), and I never forgot him ! Tabitha is so cute,
      I love this name :)
      ps : Sorry for my bad english, I’m french

      xoxo Love you Nicole <3

      That’s really sweet! I couldn’t live without my kitty…

      At the risk of sounding like an absolute complete and total crazy bird I just want to say I didn’t think I could love you more prior to this post, but it’s official. I do.

      I live here in SoCal and for a time lived in LA where I was adopted by 3 feral cats that were so hungry and in need of a home. Sadly, 1 was attacked and killed by the neighbor’s dog (don’t get me effin started) as I was relo’ing outta there, but the other 2 still live with me and are almost entirely tame.

      I’ve always been a cat lover, but that experience really made me love ferals!! I’m a freaking cat magnet, but girl I stick to just my 2 although I regularly find homes for others…totally got the bf to adopt one we found outside church one time!! no jokes…never even made it in the door that day. bahahaha!!

      So anyway, thanks for saving a life and caring about the cats and showing us your new friend. And ps-Winter Kate is off the hook and I neeeeeeeeed those HOH (not big brother) Samia boots in my life. They will be coming home very soon to live with my cats who regularly wrestle in the closet.

      xoxo,
      Carrie

      Someone told me to check this picture out…this looks like my bro n law’s lost cat. But he lived in the Burbank Hills. He lost her when they moved to Studio City. Can you call her “Troubles” and see if she answers? I doubt that it’s her. Not sure where you found her, but man, it looks just like her.

      Cute kitty! I once adopted 2 strays, but eventually had to find homes for both of them when I bottomed out financially. “Labor of Love,” posted on my website http://web.me.com/pmbernacki/pehn-phencer.net, pehn-phencer.org, or pehn-phencer.com, “Where the pen is mightier than the sword!” “Labor of Love” is a memoir of time spent working and volunteering at A.R.F.–Animal Rescue Federation in Superior, Wisconsin.
