A New Cat In The Family

A few weeks ago, someone at the office sent out a company-wide email that his cat needed a home. Seems he was moving in with his girlfriend and it would have cost $300 in a pet deposit plus $25 extra a month to take the cat with him. The girlfriend also has two small kids, and the guy was concerned about them and the cat.

I don't get people who treat their animals as disposable, but I told the guy if no one else stepped up to take the cat I would.

No one else did, and I now have a new cat. It's a little soon after putting my darling Bizzy down because of lymphoma, but all my cats have been rescues. We'll have to see how this one goes. I said I'd take him sight unseen.

He's a beautiful cat. All black with the biggest gold eyes. He looks like a panther and he's a friendly guy. A little out of sorts right now, which is to be expected. I'm a good cat owner though and he'll have all the space and time he needs to adjust.

After that, I want a kitten. I've never had a kitten, and I really would like one.
