Kitty!
I got a cat this week. A kind of sickly, skinny street cat who is the best. He doesn't have a name yet. Up to this evening when we took him to the vet I thought he was a girl so it's probably a good thing that we haven't named him yet. I kind of think he's still a girl. Maybe that will play into the name. We liked 'winnie' before we found out that he is a he.
He looks like a little lion, or maybe a bob cat, is only nine months old and weighs close to 3 pounds. Not much for a kitty his age. I got him from this place on a whim, the guy who runs the place posted to craigslist. I called him, saw the cat, went back to school to do pcomp and then picked up the cat at 12:45 in the morning two nights ago.
The cat (whatever his name will be) is very sweet but has a terrible cold. So he doesn't eat, drink or go to the bathroom. Cats don't like to eat what they can't smell. I brought him to the vet today so they could shoot a water bubble into his back and force feed him soft catfood. Tonight he's mellowed out, hopefully all of this will be behind him soon. I think he could be a good friend, maybe one I could take with me places so I wouldn't just have a cat at home but he would be part of my life. Roadtrips, etc. He'll be good company.
