Hi guys, Well, I finally went back to the shelter yesterday morning, while my dogs were being snip-snipped at the vets, and adopted that little black kitty that stole my heart weekend before last. I haven't named her yet, but she is precious. When I first met her, and subsequently thought about her all week, I knew she was black like Cricket, but didn't realize how much she favored Cricket until I got her home and spent the day with her. Her face is shaped the same. She has the same soft fur and long, fluffy black tail, and is just shaped the same as he was. It's REALLY weird. Even my husband said something about it. The vet said she's about six months old, but I'm not so sure she's that old. Cricket died five months ago this Thursday. I'm not saying that this is Cricket reincarnated, because it's so hard for me to wrap my mind around something like that, but I'm not saying it's not either.
This kitty is such a love and will bless our home. I noticed she has tapeworms yesterday, so I gave her a quarter pill of those pills you can get from the feed store for dog tapeworms. That's what I usually use, and had some left over from last year. Otherwise, she seems very healthy, and gets along as if she has both her eyes instead of one. I have to get her shots and get her spayed in a month, so I will probably have her tested for FeLV at that time as well. But I'm sure there are many of you out there who understand me when I say part of me just wants to forgo that FeLV test, and not know if she is, you know? Ignorance is bliss. I guess that would be irresponsible though, as she would need special care, although all my kitties eat healthy and get their vitamins. Anyway, I am very happy about this new addition to our home, and I just wanted to share it with you guys, who can appreciate it the most. Thanks for listening! :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
