Today, we went to PetSmart to get a big aquarium, which we did... but we also adopted a 1yo medium hair dilute calico cat that we named "Paisley"!!!
I've been thinking for a month or so about getting a cat. We have one cat, or should I say H has a cat. He's a huge Maine Coon named Keeper and is a really nice cat who thinks he's a dog. Watson would be angry, as it's a family secret, but Keeper the cat is bigger than Watson (shih-tzu), my best friend we got after we lost Winston.
SOOOO... when we were in PetSmart H noticed a cat he thought I'd like. I went to see and I thought she was very pretty and when I held her, she was so sweet and loving. And so little! Only about 5.5# according to her paperwork.
We brought her home. She was at PetSmart from the Orange County Animal Shelter. She's fitting in really well and loves to be held and pet. She had come in as a stray and seems to really like being here in a house. I felt choked up holding her awhile ago and thinking she must be happy she doesn't have to spend another night in a metal cage
For the past 10 or so years, I've not been a big cat person, but I sure used to be. I had a cat who died when Winston was about a year old and prior to getting Winston, she had been my best friend. She was a blue point Himalayan. After we got Winston, they kind of shared double billing in the best friend department. I think Paisley (already a/k/a Miss Paisley Perfect) is going to be a great friend, too.
Here she is, and also Keeper today. His expression pretty well says what he thinks of the new girl, but I feel sure he will come around before long.
PS Paisley thinks the fish tanks are AWESOME! If only she could reach in and grab one of those fishies, then she'd like them even more
