living with cats

Today has been a good day for me. It's been a bit of a clearing house of getting some posts done that I've been putting off for a while, and this one is no different.

My friends know I've been thinking about getting a pet for a while, mostly a cat. They're fun to have and pretty much take care of themselves, and aside from finding hair in places you didn't think could hold it, a generally positive experience.

So, today, I went back down to the animal shelter and adopted some small little bundles of joy. I got four total so we can have a cool D&D game together.

It was a tough decision, but mostly, it's been an obvious lifestyle change that has been coming. I'm single, in my 30s, and let's face it ... some things just aren't gonna change anytime soon. I'd like to attribute a lot of this to a real role model on TV who has gone through similar times, and I can totally relate to -- Craig Feldspar.

And see, we have another thing in common I just noticed, too -- big screen TVs. It was just made to be. Craig's the one on the left.

So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to my new cats:

I've had a bit of trouble breaking Otto into using the litterbox, but I'm sure she'll come around in due time. It's great to have some companions around the house. I don't know how I ever did without the wonderful new world of aromas before, and I'm enjoying the surprises in my cereal. Plus, this pretty much guarantees me I don't have to worry about spending money on dates anymore. I can get some great Xbox games with all the savings. Tell you what!
