I was feeling OK today, had bfast with my mom and difficult child and thank you. Then went to sign papers so difficult child could get a passport. My parents are taking him to Britain and Germany this summer, most likely. (HEY - they never took ME!!!!
Anyway, We have been thinking about getting another cat for a while. Our older cat died a few months ago.
In the course of our errands we were a few blocks from the Animal Control Office. So we went in. An hour later thank you and I were in LOVE with a Siamese Seal Point cat. He is 8 months old and so beautiful and sweet. He has already gotten me to clean my bathroom counter off. He wanted to look in the mirror! He likes to play in water with his paws, thinks I am the greatest thing, and just had a hissy at my husband. Obviously he likes children and women better.
That is OK. husband is owned by the bird and by Gracie. Gracie is a little upset - I think she wanted something smaller. The new guy is 8 months old (we have the records of when he was born, though he is not pedigreed) but he is bigger than Gracie and 3-4 pounds heavier. She will adjust.
Because we live in a small town, we got to pay the adoption and neutering fee and take him home. he hasn't been neutered yet, and the vet won't get to him until Monday morning. BUT the vet they use is OUR vet, has been for years. So, as we have a relationship with the vet, they let us have him for the weekend, trusting we will take him in on Monday.
He is adjusting to life with us pretty well. He is only in the bathroom, with his own litter box, bed (though he seems to prefer my bathroom rug, which is fine), a new water dish (a seemingly endless source of entertainment - he likes to PLAY in the water! I can't wait until I take a shower - I have a feeling he may join me, LOL!), and a new food dish picked out by thank you. I even got a cool new scoop for the litter box - it has its own stand! (Gee, doesn't take much to excite me, huh?). thank you even insisted on picking out a couple of toys for him!!
I have a new baby!!! We will figure out a name for him in the next few days. He WAS named Lestat, but that just doesn't work for him.
I'm so excited!!!!!!
