I really really really really want a cat. I mean look at these guys! I could cuddle with them all day long!
A lot of people don't like cats, but I just absolutely love them. I still also love dogs, but I just don't see the need to like just one or the other. Why can't I be a cat AND a dog person?
Anyways, at this point in life, a cat seems like a more manageable pet. Especially since Reed and I don't have any space for a dog.
The biggest thing people tell me is, ugh, cats are so mean! I don't know, I guess that's a chance I'm willing to take. I've met lots of amazingly sweet and sociable cats, so I'm praying that when we adopt a kitten, that it will just naturally have the coolest personality ever, kind of like Wojtek, Rachel's cat.
I have to wait until Christmas though...because Reed and I both agreed we would like to have some time for just us before we decide to have a new living creature with us. Especially since we want a kitten...it's a little too much to get used to 1) having a husband (exciting!) 2) living with a guy (I'm sure there will be some adjustments) and 3) having a husband! ( I know I repeated, but that one is a big one!). I think throwing a brand new kitten into the mix might not be the wisest thing.
But I can't wait until Christmas! I need to start thinking up names though...just so I can be ready with some on hand....
Any suggestions?
I'm so excited!

yay! you totally should get a cat.
it took me FOREVER to decide on wojtek's name, and it just suits him perfectly.
do you prefer: A) people names (Charles, Miley, etc.), B) random names (Crouton, BFG, etc.), or C) cutesy names (Muffin, Cupie, etc.)
yeah you should totally not get a cat! what in the heck is the point of having a creature that runs around like a dog...but it is completely self-sufficient.
dogs fill your inner need for a child when you don't have one.
cats fill your inner need for a teenager... :)
Mittens, Sugar, Tiger....okay just kidding since those are typical. I'm kind of with Danielle though on the no cat thing. Get a puppy :)
i think i like human names...
and i don't want a dog...they aren't self sufficient enough for me at this point...maybe one day when i have a yard i'll have a dog. but it's almost unfair to the dog to coup it up in a one bedroom apartment.
i also prefer people names :)
male or female?
Okay here in lies another issue...what's the difference?
are female cats like impossible to deal with? or are male cats crazier?
I'm not sure...
I was kidding about those names...I like human names as well!
Oh I'm sure you have 3 cats, one named Mittens, Tiger and Sugar ;)
No lie...we used to have a cat named Sugar. She was a barn cat that came with our house....only in the country haha!
