Future not for profit...
Well my family increased by one this weekend. She is adorable with blue eyes and a fat little belly. Our newest member is a black and grey tiger kitten with white socks and a white patch on her chest. It is one of the cutest kittens that I have ever seen. It is also one of the fattest kittens that I have ever seen. I imagine that a belly full of worms has something to do with her roundness. She is really young, maybe just six weeks. She definitely had never drunk water from a bowl before unless sticking her entire head in the water is how she drinks. One of our friends found her wandering around at a bank next to a busy 4 lane road.
My girlfriend called to let us know that she saw a kitten that needed rescuing and Jonah pipes up immediately with "bring her to me, I will take the baby kitty." Now I am one of the biggest suckers around where the animals are concerned, I can't even go to the pound because I wouldn't be able to leave without something. I think Jonah might have me beat. I am very nervous that I am going to be the responsible one in the family where animals are concerned, the one to say no. I have never played that position. We are so screwed. I am going to end up with a wildlife sanctuary. I asked him where he planned on drawing the line? He said that this was it, no more kitties. He already has a kitty that he rescued, and I have the one that I rescued and now there is baby. So we are at three cats and one dog. So far. Jodi who gave us/him the kitten has two rescued cats that she got from me, so I suppose I deserved a payback. If Jodi rooms with us like we have discussed, that will put us at 5 cats and a dog.
I really didn't want any kitties at all. At 28 I developed allergies to everything with fur and have more trouble with cats than dogs. I love the kitties, don't get me wrong, but the wheezing and snoring are irritating. I had decided no more kitties but it hasn't been working out too well. Jonah's older kitty is a disaster, he is one of the worst shedding cats that I have ever seen. He also likes to sleep by my pillow with at least some part of his body touching my face. My cat is a brat. She is Siamese and has the shitty little personality to go along with it. She isn't mean, she is actually quite friendly, aggressively so, but she does have that attitude thing going on. I am not sure how well our families are going to blend as it is. We at least know the cats both get along with my dog, which is good. I think we all know how kitties can show their displeasure with a situation and I have no tolerance whatsoever with bad bathroom habits or revenge peeing. I guess that I am getting a little ahead of myself, but by the time you realize that it is an issue, it is too late, something is already ruined. Cat pee isn't removable.
I have some beautiful zits today from all the freaking out. I am going to make a bid on a house tonight and I am a nervous wreck. I am offering significantly less than the asking price, so I think that they will either laugh at me or be horribly offended and not entertain any more offers from me. I really want this house, but it isn't worth the asking price. It has been on the market for several months, and the owners have the mortgage on the new house that they are paying in addition to this one so I am hoping that they will be in a position to work with me. There are several other houses in the immediate area for sale, so I think that helps my situation at least a little. House buying is nerve racking. It makes me want to puke.
I think that about sums up my weekend, hope everyone had a good one.
