What's this, a post?? I vaguely remember these things. Blocks of text yanked out of my brain, through my fingers, and set on this magical screen. Anyway.
Sweetie and I are seriously considering adopting a cat! Well, we've seriously considered it since before we lived together, but with The Great Summer of Weddings concluded, we're not going to be out of town for more than an overnight stay until maybe Thanksgiving and once in January (and then two weeks for our honeymoon in May... who wants to catsit??), so we figure this is a good time, especially with some of the long weekends coming up for extra quality cat time. Since I was twelve or so, my mom always had a cat, and we're both big cat people.
So... any tips?? Thoughts on pet insurance? We're planning to adopt out of a shelter and probably aim for an adult, as opposed to a baby, cat. I'm so excited!! There's actually a big adoption event in Brooklyn Heights today (or tomorrow -- the event keeps saying "Saturday October 2") that I wish I could attend, but sweetie's out on a huge run, and I guess I shouldn't get a cat without him. Probably.
