Another One For the Crapper

Yesterday was sure one for the crapper. We were about halfway through the process of buying a house we'd found, in the location we wanted and at a price we could afford. The deal suddenly went south and we're exercising our option to run, not walk, away. I'd rather not say why, but you know, even though it's a strong seller's market around here.....I DIDN'T JUST FALL OFF THE GODDAMN TURNIP TRUCK YESTERDAY.

*ahem*

In happier news, my daughter is supposed to come by this morning to pick up the new kitty. Which is good, because we're getting attached to the little booger. And he has an affinity for laps & laptops. Poor little guy also has a bad case of missing his mommy....and a very loud voice that sounds a whole lot like a squeaky tree branch. Understandable, but after a while that got really annoying. Unable to find him a nice warm bowl of STFU, I spent most of the day with him in my lap, or on my shoulder.

He's finally started playing with Sollie, which has Sollie estactic. Our kitty, as expected, is absolutely livid that there's another cat in the house. And Sassy has pretty much ignored him, except for a few rounds of "Are you my mother?" Apparently, his mommy was also big, grey and fuzzy. Sassy was like "Hey, hey, HEY! I like you and all kid, but not like that."

All in all though, we've enjoyed having him around. My daughter is going to adore him, as he's definitely a snuggle kitty. And if she doesn't, we've always room for one more.

I'll try to put up some photos of him later. Probably much later.

Right now he's decided my wrist splint makes a terrific scratching post for kitties.

Oh yes he has a voice. And he's not afraid to use it. Ever. At all.

Nightly I went through the ritual of debating to duct tape the cat to the cieling fan or my ears to the pillow.

While such thoughts enter my mind I'm not so a cruel a person as to actually do it mind you.

But damn it was the only thing that kept me sane after 4 hours non stop of "Meow!"

Oh I can understand that, he did the same here unless someone was holding him. I just dropped him off at the vet's for a good going over before he goes to my daughter's this afternoon. They can listen to him for a while. lol

He caused quite the ruckus when our cat discovered him. She growled & hissed, Sollie got hysterical & was trying to climb up on the table after her to protect his new friend. I picked her up to take her away & she went all Hannibal Lecter & tried to chew my face off. I had to use my semi-world famous Vulcan kitty death neck hold on her to subdue her. It was great.
