"But, we aren't cat people!!!"
Monday, we went to the local hardware/building supply store to get two sheets of plywood. Metro went with us. As we were paying for the plywood, the Store Mouser came to us to investigate us and Metro.
He rubbed up against Sarah on the leg, played with Metro on a stack of hardwood flooring and then followed us all around the store as we remembered we needed an air filter.
Kitty Fever had been transmitted and soon we had a full blown case.
Today at lunchtime, I headed to Wal*Mart for wild bird seed and toothbrushes (strange combo, I know). As I drove back to work, my path takes me pass the Humane Shelter. I turn in the drive and ask to see the kittens.
When I get back to work, I called home and told Sarah what I had done. "I was gonna ask you to go by there, if you had time!"
With the encouragement of a co-worker (Thanks, Amy), I called the Shelter and asked if they would extend their afternoon a few mintues beyond the normal 5 o'clock closing. "Sure, not a problem."
She meowed from the carry box the entire way home. I place her in my old backpack so I could trick/surprise Sarah. But the kitten was having no part of that. Again she screamed "MEOW" - announcing her presence!!!
Sarah started crying!
So let us introduce - Millie!

Metro isn't too sure 'bout this!
Metro really isn't sure 'bout this!!!
Oh, nom, nom, nom!
Laser pointer fun!
Millie Facts:
She was born at the shelter on the day the pack of dogs killed our chickens (October 13)
She has never touch the ground
Her mother was being adopted at the same time I was there to do the paper work for Millie
I've got one question: Why does it cost more for a cat to pee and poop than it does to eat?

Metro Monday
It is finally cold enough in South Georgia to make a fire in the fireplace. We have wood that is well seasoned, since we didn't have a fire at all last winter.
Metro seemed to enjoy the warmth more than we did. He "begged" for us to join him in front of the fireplace Friday and Saturday evening.

Eureka!!!
Sarah and I haven't seen them since October. She said to herself, "I don't need to put my rings here, I will forget where I put them??"
But she did it anyway. And when it came time to put her wedding ring set on to go to church on Sunday morning - sure enough she forgot where they were.
Fast forward to yesterday - Sarah was rearranging nick-nacks, tables, lamps in the living room, dining room and kitchen. Undoubtedly, wherever it was she had place the rings, they fell out yesterday.
As we were finishing our cleaning and work in the late afternoon, I saw something glisten on the floor in front of the coffee table. My jaw got slack as I picked up the ten diamond jacket the had been astray for nearly four months. I ran to the back bedroom where Sarah was catching up on her emails.
We were encouraged!!! IF one of the rings is still in the house, surely the other one is also. We continued to straighten and finish up laundry. She stepped on the solitaire, just in front of the fireplace. She looked at me and started crying for joy. Me too!!!
