Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name...
We have adopted a kitty. Her name is Annabel Lee, unless she decides that she doesn't like it at all. Not like kitties ever come when they're called, of course, but we need something to use to refer to That Cute Cat We Fell In Love With. It's a long story of how we got her, which will be explained in another post. But we have adopted a lovely, 5-month-old, very sweet and purring kitty. Right now she is investigating the second bedroom, which is where she's being kept until we take her to the vet this week for a checkup. This photo doesn't do her much justice, but the shelter posted it online... We will be taking more later of course. May I introduce you to the new family member, Annabel Lee?
ETA: We may need to rename her "Purrbox" or "Motorkitty" because seriously, how can a cat be able to purr while walking around, AND leaping after toys, and doing everything else? I nearly killed myself trying not to step on her because she is apparently the "weave netween your legs all the time" sort of cat. Jared and I are rotating "parent duty" and visiting her in the Guest Room of Seclusion, and she purrs like mad whenever we come in. What adorableness. I got to have a cat leap on my stomach and rub her face on mine for a bit, which was a definite highlight. What a darling.
