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:

French Fry

Marshmallow

Freschetta

Otto

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!
