My New Addition!

It seems that EVERYONE is expecting new additions (babies) right now (I swear I have at least 10 friends who are expecting now - and that doesn't even count how many friends have recently had kids).  For any reader who does not know me well, let me tell you - that is not the plans for me in the immediate future.

Besides not being married, my career is not exactly in a place where I could have kids.  Actually, for the longest time, I was not even in a position to have a pet fish.  But recently, with a new house and a boyfriend that has time... things have changed.

So... last weekend I adopted 2 cats from Fur Kids (a large no kill shelter).  I would love to have a huge dog - but that would require a bit more time and effort than I can offer.  And 2 cats are better than 1 - as they can play with each other.

Now, about the cats, 2 brothers - Gizmo and Gremlin - about 18 months old and HUGE.  Both are still skiddish and getting used to being in the house - I am not sure if they have ever lived in a house before.  I have found that they like watching tv, sleeping all day, and partying all night - not far from many people I know. 

Almost every night I wake up to them running from one end of the house to the other - I call them thunder cats because it is so loud.  Sometimes they like to wake me up by jumping up on the bed - usually right on my head. Then during the day - when they could be up - they just lay around.  I should have expected no less. 

These cats hit the jackpot - from shelter to ruling the house - they have hit easy street.  Here is how I find them most of the time (when they are not causing chaos at night):

 Things are starting to feel like a home around here.
