HERDING CATS
(They're fun by any name)
The other day K expressed interest in adopting a cat. I steered her to the PETCO across the street from where she works, which always has a number of pets available for adoption. They all looked pretty good, but K instantly fell pretty hard for two male siblings curled up against each other like a feline yin and yang symbol. She didn't have the heart to break the pair up so she took them both Monday night. Names haven't been decided yet, but she keeps bringing up Stalin and Lenin as possibilities. I normally don't equate cute kittens with inhumane megalomaniacal butchering mass murderers, but that's just me. Why not Pol Pot and Hitler if one is going to go in that direction? For more pictures of the yet-to-be-named duo, check out The Cat Set at my flickr site.
(Eddie and I in a staredown contest)
This past weekend I came back Saturday afternoon after Thanksgiving to cat-sit for my friends M & C. Their cat Eddie is a 13-year-old female who's nonetheless pretty spry. Eddie normally is hiding someplace whenever I come over because she doesn't seem to care for more than three people in the apartment at one time. One-on-one though, we got to spend some quality time together this weekend. Eddie loves leftover turkey, but stuffing . . . not so much.
