My Birthday Presents - sort of

[ummbnb]

CUTE! Congrats!

I've always been a dog person but we got a kitten last year and I think I've converted. She is so loving and social and a total jungle cat....and best of all...soooo low maintenance!

[SadieKate]

They're looking pretty complacent and ready to take command already. Good luck!

Awwww.

I'm a dog person, too--allergic to kitties, but I love to see them, though I can't touch. They're adorable--wishing you many furry, purry years together.

They look so content in their new hug.

I love cats. But today I had to wash poop off the long-haired cat's booty....He didn't like it, but he spared me his claws. Guess we're going to the vet to get dewormed today.

That's the part I don't love about cats

Ooooo. So adorable. And thank you for adopting from a shelter. And Cassie and Tucker seems like they have settled in quite nicely.

Wish you many many happy years together.

Our first two kitties were living on the streets when we adopted them. We will always adopt from somewhere. I've never quite understood buying a cat. A dog, while I will still adopt, I can understand, if you want it to do certain things or be good with kids.

But a cat... and I don't quite get the point of cat or dog shows.

My experience with the four golden retrievers I've purchased in my life: There is a direct correlation between "quality" of bloodline/price of dog and "badness" factor. My 4-month old, Fiona, comes from an excellent breeder. She looks just like her "daddy"---

She cost more than the other three. We had to sign a blessed contract and pass screening to get this pooch. Now I'm thinking the breeder should have paid us! Just kidding -- I adore her, despite her banshee nature. Well, here's an example of her badness. Yesterday, I was home, burning leave, making cookies for our office party. Fiona was out of the crate, playing with her two golden sisters in the living room. Or so I thought. The MINX had gotten my reading glasses off the couch arm, chewed the glasses case, opened it, removed the glasses, and chewed them sufficiently that the glasses are now in the "hospital," being repaired. Thank goodness the frames can be fixed because they were expensive. Now we know why her guardian angel made sure she was extra gorgeous. Large and in charge is her middle name.

We cannot wait until the girl is through puppyhood and a bit calmer. Hmmm, three years, ya think? LOL.

But Veronica, I love your street kitties. Many years of love, joy, and purrs!
