Meet my family // Eve

On the 18th of May 2013, Jordan and I welcomed our baby girl Eve into our home. As soon as we we're sure that we wanted to add a fur-baby to our family, our first stop was the RSPCA. This little girl was 10 weeks old when we went in and just as her profile said, she loved climbing onto people. Although there were a lot of kittens in the shelter at the time, 'Genevieve' (as they had named her at the RSPCA) really caught our attention and not just for her unique markings!

Eve is a domestic short hair, silver tortoiseshell. All her little paws are white with pink pads (they are just the cutest!) and she has a big orange splotch on her nose - as you can see in the photos.

When she was small enough, she used to love sitting inside the front of Jordans hoodies. Now that she's fully grown though, she is WAY too big to be hoping in there! These days her cozy spot is the bed. Almost every time we come home she is sleeping on the bed - I think she thinks of it as hers. During the night she loves to get under the covers with us and snuggle up around our legs.

She is a super special girl. You could probably have a 'conversation' with her for five minutes - she always talks back. While she loves attention, it has to be on her terms. If you give her a scratch but she would rather have a pat, you'll probably get a warning bite. She definitely has an attitude!

Despite her assertive nature, Eve has given us tonnes of love and laughs. She often does silly things like chase her tail or fall off the bed. There has been a few times we've even witnessed her jump into the wall head-first in a miscalculated pounce.

Since I'm a serial cat-photographer, I had an incredibly hard time choosing photos of Eve for this post. I have close to 500 saved... Sorry Jordan! This one was just too cute not to add - look at her poking her little head out of his hoodie!

Thanks for reading!
