Krishna, Sagar, Bhukta, Arjuna
Small Nisha, Arjuna
I stopped on the side of the main highway that runs through Surkhet the other day to talk to one of the land owners who we're currently negotiating with. (Land is still in the works... will update you all later on what's going on with it.) As I was talking I noticed a kitten trying to cross the road about to get squashed by a tractor. She made it across and came to hide right underneath my scooter. And that was that. I asked around and everyone assured me that she was a stray kitty and told me I could take her. So I did. One- because I think she will be good at keeping mice away (she already caught a baby mouse.) Two because I believe that animals are good for children and the healing process. I've given the main responsibility of caretaker to Bindu who is in need of some extra love and attention right now. Three- She was too cute to resist!
The children named her Arjuna (the arch goddess) which also means bright and shining.
I also like to think she is the reincarnation of Shroeder, the childhood cat that Kate, Libby and I grew up with on Collins Avenue with Regina.
And I have recently come to know that Jordyn of Do Something is also a cat whisper-er. She knows every thing there is too know about raising cats. I've been calling her the cat lady. She just keeps whipping cat facts out of nowhere. Good to have her here. It's her last day with us!! Will miss her dearly.
Not sure whether I'd rather be; with Maya or back on the side of that highway.

SO adorable! photos just radiate happiness!
That look is telling me BACK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY!
LOL - that caption made me laugh!
HAHA! Poor kitty never knew what happened. Maya is too cute though and that cat is cool! Looks like like an ocelot.
Adorable--all of them. Kopila Kitty has a great ring to it!
Maggie, what a lovely thing to do for the children. Does that kitten know that she is the luckiest cat in the world?! And what a beautiful name. They are going to enjoy her so much. Kittens have a way of making people happy, and this one is going to make 26 children happy!....Welcome Arjuna!
Meow!! How do you say meow in Nepali?
