My house is a zoo
First, I feel that congratulations are in order. On Friday, Efe became an official american citizen!!!!! I'm so proud of him. I can't emagine the amount of work and stress he went through these past 6 years to be able to make it this far. And now that hes a citizen, he can bring his mother over from Istanbul as her sponsor. Yay, honey! I'm so proud!!!
For the celebration, my mother and brother decided to come up to Burlington to celebrate. They, of course, brought the family dog. Shes a good girl, but for some reason, I find her increasingly annoying. She is ALWAYS begging for food and it makes me crazy. Actually, right now shes sleeping on my bed and she looks adorable.
If Sultan had thumbs, i'm sure he would relate his feelings quite differently. The sounds that come out of him when Spookie's around are sounds I never even knew an animal could make. First, theres his deep throated growl with a little bit of the sound that comes when you roll your r's. And that pitch goes up and down like a trombone. His ears lie flat on his head so it looks like he doesn't have any (i know thats a sign of agression, but its so damn cute) and he stands in front of Spookie with his paw raised like he's going to smack her or something. I feel a little bad because I know that spookie being here is really stressing him out, but at the same time i feel like cats are adaptable creatures and maybe he should start acting like a cat instead of a spoiled little brat prince.
I had a hard time sleeping last night because of my new cat. Well, shes not really mine, but she doesn't belong to anyone else. She's one of the Johnson Street strays, but shes always sitting on my window sill, and sometimes i'll open the window and pet her. It looks like she has a pretty nasty eye infection, so every day i've been bringing her inside to wash out her eye. I feel like she just wants to stay and have a warm, nice home, but i don't know what this cat has in terms of diseases, and i don't want her to give it to sultan, because he's my first priority. But last night, she knocked on my window and cried all night. I got up to see if she was hurt, but i didn't see any signs of injury. I think she just wanted to come in and cuddle. I'm wondering if its worth the extra money...maybe i can just get all her vaccinations and have her tested for diseases, and she can come and go as she pleases. I would bring her to the humane society, but i don't think she's unhappy.
