Yo tengo un gatito!
Well, after a year of waiting and hoping, I have a kitten.
Haha, he is watching me type and seems to find it fascinating.
We went up to the cousins friday and saturday and brought him home. He is tan and white. Very handsome and fluffy. Oh, there he goes. We have two possible names…you can vote, though it won’t affect the decision. Pippin or Strider.
Now he has just deposited himself on my lap. climbing all over the computer chair now. For now we call him gatito in honor of my spanish teacher.
Actually, I don’t know how to post pictures, but if you go to www.tedpearson.com and look at the two cats pictured, he looks just like those. The first one may actually be him, I’m not sure. Ted would know.
So thank you cousins, and Aunt Joni and Uncle Ted, for having another litter! We are thouroughly enjoying this kitty!
Dad managed to train him to use the litter box the first night he was here. That’s one smart cat…or dad. He still meows whenever we pick him up, but that’s just normal. He’ll get over it.
He is pretty Pippinish, so that name might stick. Then again, we all like Strider. I will post what we chose. Oh, and I will be gone for a week starting wednesday, to visit my uncle and aunt and cousin in Atlanta! Exciting! Never been on a plane before…i think it will be fun. Gosh, the kitty is rubbing my elbow with his nose over and over and over.
Ok, the one really funny thing about him- he is ticklish. Every time I tickle him, he flips over and starts LICKING me! Every time. It’s hilaroius.
Well, I have to go. We have some chores to do, and then-ugh- shopping. I have a few things to pick up for the trip.
