Adding to our family
Just to make things more hectic financially (after the Griffin crunched the passenger side of my car this week - it will cost at least a thousand by the time I pay for the repairs and the insurance excess on the damage to the other car....of course GG has no money but anyway anyway anyway that's another story...)
ANYHOW....we went out to the local council animal pound and animal shelter 2 weeks ago, looking for 1 or 2 abandoned cats to adopt. We saw a mum and her kitten that seemed friendly and badly in need of rescuing, so yesterday I got the call about the adoption for both. Yes, we can adopt them!!!! It will cost $400 all up (microchipping, neutering, injections etc) but it will be really nice to have pets again. We decided against a dog because much as we love them, they need to be around humans most of the time, and both GG and I work long hours, so it would be cruel to leave a dog alone in a yard for many long hours each day. They get so bored and lonely. I figured that with 2 cats, they will keep each other company and they are better at living inside minus their "staff" (owners) during the working day.
The mum is a white background-with-flecks-of-all-colours, short haired puss, while the kit is a blue-grey. Am hoping they are not too traumatised by everything but we can bring them back home tomorrow! YAY!
