I stayed up until 4 AM last night to name a fictional kitten. I clearly have my priorities in order. (WEll, technically we were naming FIVE fictional kittens, but one took a lot more time than the others. :p)

But yep. Priorities!

I has my kitty back! She missed us terribly. And still hates her carrier. Ryan opened her cage at the kennel and she jumped out and started nuzzling him.

We applied to adopt a cat today. :D I really hope we get her, she's an utter sweetheart. She's a brown tabby and about a year old. Amusingly, she's smaller than some of the actual KITTENS they had at the shelter. She won me over pretty quickly when I walked by her cage and she started doing something that looked suspiciously like Legolas's "Rub my ( Read more... )
