omg the cuteness
Aug. 20th, 2006 10:14 pmSo we went today to furkids today to look at kittens. Fairyhead's original plan was to pick one up, and then get an older feral from our vet, but the best laid plans...
First, all the cats were amazingly cool, friendly, well socialized, and obviously well loved. Plus, they could smell a sucker when in the room with one; I think I missed most of the introductory conversation, as cats were politely but firmly reminding me that I wasn't petting them. We started off with adults, just because they were begging at the door, but then moved quickly to the kitten room, where the doom began.
I had originally assumed we'd leave with two kittens, because I know I'm not the voice of reason when it comes to things like this, and because I assumed fairyhead's kitten lust would kick in once in the presence of them. We were a little uncertain which kids to pick, but then we went to the admitting area, and were totally charmed by a little of three seven week old kittens (a calico, a black on black tabby, and a black and white tuxedo). There was some talk of only taking two, but I was firm that it was a bad, bad idea to take two of three of a litter, leaving an orphan behind. I was prepared to choose two other cats, until J melted and said, "OK, let's get all three".
So, we now have Rufus (Xavier Sasparilla), Kali Lily, and Petrov. The cuteness factor in our house has gone up in orders of magnitude. Now, we just have to convince Zevo that they're not the enemy, and then it's smooth sailing.
Yeah, we're cat bitches; what of it?
