we wanted a dog. like, SO BAD. but it's just not in our cards at the moment, mainly because our rental agreement CLEARLY and boldly states (in several places) a NO DOG policy. we even called to double check if they would reconsidered; nope, nada. made zilch progress in that area.
CATS ONLY.
i've never had a cat before. but i've met my fair share of evil, biting, pee-where-you-please, furniture ruining, skittish balls of shedding fur. not my idea of the kinda pet i wanted setting up camp in our home.
is there such thing as a sweet, affectionate, playful, sleep-on-your-feet, follow you around like a dog, lap cat?
i can dream right?
i LIKE dreams that come true. doesn't everybody?
we (joe & hens & me) spent our saturday meeting all kinds of kitties and cats that needed adopting. little ones, playful ones, old ones, sleepy ones, down right mad ones, and then... our dream cat, vivian!
talk about a lover!
interview, call, sign! and there we are driving home with our maow-ing kitty-cat with henry in the back seat full of reassurance, "it's okay vibian, we're almost home."
did you know there are like a million rules of how to help your new furry friend adapt to its new home & family? neither did i! but there are! and our dream cat? she didn't go through any of it. the second she stepped outta her kennel, she was simply home.
playful & cuddly & purrrfect! all my evil kitty fears have been laid to rest.
she so instantly is apart of our family. and strangely enough, in ways i thought a dog would be, not a cat. let the record show, i stand corrected.
what a ray of sunshine our newest addition to our family is. so much love!
p.s. fact! she plays fetch. fetch!!! she's a puppy in a kitty-cat body.
