Additions to the family
Monday, June 5th, 2006After asking everyone we know (as well as complete strangers at yard sales and grocery stores) and being told “I’ll think about it,” we’ve decided to keep *sigh* all three cats.
We listened to mama cat search fruitlessly for her kittens all night Saturday, and some of the day Sunday. We sent one of them home with Jdub and Dusty yesterday. We’ve made the living room and kitchen accessible to them. And we would feel guilty splitting them up further. When one cat is in the living room and can’t find the others, it mews until they come. They each have distinctive personalities, including favorite napping spots. (Couch for Popopolese, subwoofer for Pollux nee Apollo and behind the VHSs for Castor nee Notapollo.)
We figure if we shop smart (mostly at Big Lots) we can get by on fairly cheap litter and food. After some searching on the ‘nets, we found a place that will spay/neuter and vaccinate all three for $190. Also, if anyone has any advice or old cat-type trappings they’d like to donate, we’d appreciate it.
Everyone here at HQ seems to be thrilled with our new family members and that makes me very happy.
