I LOVE my Bacchettas. I have both a Giro and an aluminum Corsa.
Neither is purple, though. That is an awesome color, I'm jealous.
I'm also glad your cat has you.
If this is your first bent, there is a learning curve. Don't get discouraged, and if you have any fit/balance/riding issues, PM me.
There is also a friendly Bacchetta forum.
