I've been going to look at shelter kitties for the past two days.
Lots of lovely sweet ones, definitely hard to choose but I'm getting to know many of them and am narrowing it down.
On Thursday I think my husband will be coming with me and adding his input so we can perhaps make the final decision. He likes me to do the preliminary scoping out. I've met about 80 kitties all wanting homes!

My shelter visits seemed less sad than when i went through this last time (1 1/2 yrs ago), because I've seen 3 cats actually get adopted just while I was 'chillin' with the cats over the past two days- it really does your heart good to see kitties become lucky Chosen Ones for new homes. I'm also making donations to both places so that all the kitties (and doggies too) get a little help from my visits one way or another.

One kitty in particular seemed promising for me today. And I hadn't even noticed her yesterday- She passed what my husband and i call the 'Upside Down Baby test'- picked her up, put her on her back in my arms like a baby, and rubbed her tummy. No problem! Just a huge purr and paws stretched out pumping the air happily in response... lol! She's also a classic tabby, which my husband is always partial to. With him, it's personality but extra brownie points for brown tabbies. For me it's pretty much all about the purr-cuddle factor.

But going back to the other place one more time on Thursday just to give all the kitties their fair consideration.
