I think I'm in love....
Having picked out a cat online from the local SPCA that I thought might be a good personality match, I went over yesterday for an interview and to pick her up.
Now she's mine, and I have a big black glamour-girl cat who won't sit still for proper photographs.
She is quite gorgeous -- glossy black fur with sprinklings of gray hairs here and there, a gray undercoat and the world's biggest, fluffiest tail. Her eyes are yellow with a green inner ring -- which I suspect will be hard to pick up in a photo even if she does agree to sit still.
It didn't take her more than a few hours to come out from under the furniture and start investigating me and the house. She's not the sort of cat who will curl up in a lap and fall asleep, but she will visit me in my reading chair, cuddle down next to me and turn belly-up for some petting for a few minutes, then get up and go exploring again.
She came with a name -- Blackberry -- and I think she'll keep it, unless she decides on something else later.0
Now it's time to return to my chair and eat lunch.....
