I live with my sister, and she and I decided to adopt two little kittens from a local animal shelter. They're male, brothers from what the shelter employees can tell, and rather cute. We filled out most of the paperwork last night, and we get to bring them home once they are both 2 Lbs, which would be sometime next week. In the meantime, I need to find a vet and get some more kitty supplies. Last night I bought food, litter, a litterbox, and a scoop. Now we need to get fun stuff, like toys, beds, catnip, and personalized collars.
I visited my dad across the state this past weekend, and I really fell in love with his cat, Roadie. He was so friendly and fun, and it made me realize how much I need to share my positive feelings. When I proposed the idea to my sister, she jumped at the idea, but thought that we should get two, so they always have a friend to play with, even when we're not there.
I've never had a cat, but I've always liked them. I had a dog when I was about 8, and I had an outdoor bunny during adolescence. I haven't had any sort of a pet in about 15 years. And I think I'm ready. I've ordered engraved nametags for them already, but I suppose I'll wait to post the names until they come home, to avoid a jinxy-jinx.
I am very excited!
