delilah

the first day we met.

We should get a Delilah to add to our Sampson...like the Bible! On my 23rd birthday, my wishes came true!

Ok..close your eyes and hold our your hands! I was squeemish when he asked me to do that. Kinda scary! What is he going to put in my hands?! A BABY TINY LITTLE BLACK KITTEN! I fell in love instantly. Her tiny little face with her awkward little body was perfect. Then we started playing with her...wow she might really fit her name...she's crazy! 


The first day together at Ryan's parent's house, we were in the hot tub relaxing while she was roaming around the deck area. Then all of a sudden, a big splash! Yes folks, the 6 week old kitten just jumped into the hot tub for fun!

She frantically jumped back out, shook her little body, and went about her ways. It was crazy! I thought cats were always timid around water. Well....they are...but not her. She was fearless.

My first thought- Is she okay?! Then- Is this foreshadow?!

Well it was. She is a crazy kitten. From having burst of energy that would cause her to leap randomly in the air and perform like a circus kitten to her having an amazing obsession with all things paper- from crumpled up paper to toilet paper to paper bags!

She was definitely nothing short of entertaining...and definitely had devilish ways from ripping apart all the toilet paper with her claws & teeth to digging up multiple plants around the house and utilizing it as a litter. She was...WILD & out of control.

When Sampson met her, he had his doubts. He was about four times her size and probably could kill her with just his body weight. We separated them in the beginning and gave them limited play time. They started to get along. They eventually got a long SO MUCH that they would have make out sessions...ew. Yes!! They would just lay there and clean each other. It started cute..then started to get..out of control!  haha But they LOVE each other.

Cuddling with their dad.

Sampson definitely showed her who's boss but she definitely showed him her athletic skills! She captivated Ryan's heart right away and became Daddy's little girl. She's a ball of fire and always keeps things interesting & turns out to be Sampson's BFF.

Something we've recently discovered about her. She loves it when we SING! I discovered it actually a couple months ago. I was singing Amazing Grace while reading something on the computer. She immediately awoke from her sleep across the living room, ran over to me, and started moving her head to the rhythm. I started laughing and thought it was a fluke.

Then I did it again in front of Ryan and she did the same thing but this time jumped on my lap while moving her head to the rhythm. Then Ryan tried it and she did the same thing! It's hilarious. She is very special:) 


As crazy as she is and as frustrated as she has made me over the years we've had her, she has grown into such a fun cat with a very sweet nature! She even moves out of the way to let her brothers eat her food...which is why we have to feed her separately!

Delilah and I grown to love each other. She's such an amazing addition to our family...Oliver loves her and Sampson wouldn't be the same with out her.

She is Ryan's little girl until we get a fur-less one of our own one day! (haha)

She's just like me.

We started life like a tornado of terror but now we're refined with bursts of craziness here & there :D

Maybe that's why Ryan loves her so much!
