SHE'S HERE!

AND SHE'S SO TINY

she is so smol next to a human hand

Ok so I wanted to hang with her a bit before picking a name. Mulling over four:

- Isabel (Izzy for short I guess)

- Ophelia (which sounds badass in Spanish)

- Eva (also the name of the woman who brought her to us)

- Yuya (short for Jayuya, PR where my fav coffee is grown)

I almost named her Ingrid but if my mom knew I named a cat after her she'd kill me.

UPDATE: she's really into smushing her face against a box under the blankets

someone woke up from their nap:

Lol my mom says Ofelia was the name of a witch in her neighborhood growing up. I think she's trying to dissuade me but it makes me like the name more.

My sister likes Eva and my mom likes Yuya. https://twitter.com/gaybonez/status/1087419223134089217?s=19

Made a makeshift playpen for our first couple of weeks together.

A BREAKTHROUGH: She has grabbed my finger and kept snatching at it when I tried to pull away.

She decided to get adventurous last night. I got about 4 hours of sleep.

But she ate and peed and pooped and I have never been more relieved to watch a living creature drop a turd in my room.

SHE POOPED! I thought she had last night but no dice. This is her looking scandalized watching me dig up the turds she worked so hard to bury.

She kept us up all night with this so I finally gave her the attention she wants and posted it on Twitter.

Some updates:
- She really likes fleece blankets.
- She's eating a lot more now!
- She licked my nose this morning and gnaws on my fingers sometimes.

I'VE SETTLED ON A NAME! Introducing:

Jayuya Ofelia Alexandria O-Cat-sio Gonzalez-Cobian

(Yuyu or Yuya for short)

MY BOYFRIEND SENT ME A PICTURE OF HER NAPPING WHILE I'M AT WORK.

HER CLAW IS STILL CLINGING TO THE COUCH.

I WANT TO BE THERE.

She's coming out to the living room more often to play.

She's also a big fan of this tiny mouse thing.

Got Yuyu a new toy.

I respect and appreciate my daughter's skepticism.

Moving it out to the living room soon but you know I'm a helicopter dad.

She started sleeping on my clothes so I caved, took everything off but an old sweater and threw a towel over it.

Also she's getting so biiiig.

We're staying in tonight.

She's getting real big.

1/21 vs. 2/10

Her squeak is starting to resemble a meow. I'm melting.

YUYU HAS A COLD! Took her to the vet this morning for the first time.

No pics because I had my hands full but I did snag a shot of the fecal sample container with her full name on it. ;)

She yelled at me for going outside without a big enough coat.

My daughter excels at finding her light.

she always ruins tender moments with her butt hole

we also tried taking selfies this morning

This one was cute but MY DAUGHTER WILL NEVER BE AN INFLUENCER IF SHE CAN'T LOOK AT THE CAMERA.

The vet called my cat "petite" today.

My petite queen.

Good morning! I no longer set alarms I just wait for this queen to smush my face.

She follows me everywhere and it's adorable but I almost stepped on her this morning.

"No pictures, please."

Stayed in and made dinner for my cat.

I swear my cat just rolled her eyes at me.

1/21 v. 6/20

I'm raising a happy, chonky girl!

Got this queen spayed. Proud of my daughter for immediately channeling Cate Blanchett in this moment of hardship and regality.

"I TOO CAN COMMAND THE WIND, SIR"

She's a year old tomorrow!

Good morning!

Had bronchitis over the weekend which meant taking pictures of my cat instead of socializing.

Look at her SMOLDER.

Left my child with @embrace_mess (who I am convinced will be an exceptional cat parent someday) for a few days and she's taken up residence in the bathroom.

I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN I'M COMING BACK
