story of the kitty
well, if you read melissa's journal then you know that dexter HATES the new kitten. it's true. last night when mike brought her in he FLIPPED out. hissing loudly, he ran into the other room and refused to come out. 15 minutes later kitten went exploring and found dexter's hiding place. they started chasing each other around (kitten is fearless), and for about an hour they seemed to be getting along. but then kitten decided that she wanted love, cuddled up on my lap and fell asleep. dexter was not okay with that. when i sit in this chair my tummy is HIS bed. so all of today he's been avoiding kitten and hissing at us. i feel bad for dexter. this WAS his house (or at least in his mind it was) and now there's a smaller, younger version on the prowl. we've decided to give the two of them a couple of weeks to sort things out. if nothing changes then it's only fair to dexter to find a more suitable home for the kitten. but i REALLY hope he gives in and decides to share the apartment because i am in love with this tiny ball of fuzzy love (she's asleep on my shoulder right now).
now about a name...she needs one. well, melissa and i think she does. it was originally matt's cat (long story, that's not worth telling) and he named her tabby, after her grandfather toby. i guess toby is like some sacred showbread cat or something. i wasn't really paying attention when mike was explaining all of this to me. all i could think about was what a gay name tabby was. mike told me i wasn't allowed to change it. sorry mike, but you know that i only do what you tell me to when i feel like it. and this time i don't. jacob wants me to name her terminator. melissa seemed to like it too, and i was really considering it until about an hour ago. ever since i got home from work she's been right next to me. she laid next to my feet in the kitchen when i did the dishes, sat outside the bathroom door when i had to pee, and is now sleeping on me. for some reason all of these things make me want to name her something simple. something sweet. something like gabby.
