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?
