kittens!!!

krista and i went to animal friends this afternoon to check out the kittens. i fell in love with a little orange guy with brown eyes. he's skinny and crazy and friendly and would be a spectacular little brother for milo.

something i didn't know is that the orange cats are almost always boys. kinda like how the calicos are almost always girls. my little orange guy had a very cute calico sister, and if someone comes in to adopt him, i might opt for his sis, assuming she's available.

the shelter had two awesome white cats, both little girls. one was odd-eyed, like milo, and the other had yellow eyes. they were fantastic -- very inquisitive, alert, sociable. the yellow-eyed one sat up like a ferret at one point to look around. i had a vivid mental image of the two of them and milo all curled up together asleep in a ball -- a big mass of white fur. but there's no way i can adopt two cats, and those two made too cute a pair to be separated. and if i had three white cats people might think i'm some kind of nazi.

sigh... so now i'm just waiting for my landlord to give me the okay to have a second cat.

and this does not mean i'm becoming a crazy cat lady. nah-uh. no way.
