I've decided I need to stop waiting for pictures before I write. It has now been like a month since I intended to write! Since then, Brad has gotten sick for the first time (sad), gotten better from being sick (happy! Hopefully it just got his immune system ready for the winter!) and we have a new kitty. We are still hoping our little Nike comes home, but in the meantime, Titan needs a friend (although, he would argue that at this exact moment). When Nike comes home, we'll just have 3 cats. (phew, we need a bigger place).
So, it has been quite an adjustment at our house. Titan is TICKED that we brought home another cat. Today, he finally came downstairs by himself for the first time. He was growling and spitting the whole time, but I think it's progress. He even took a few steps into the kitchen. He also tried to bite my face, which promptly got him smacked and locked in the upstairs bathroom for a 5 minute time out. (This is the cat, not our son). I felt so bad punishing him when he has had such a hard weekend, but some things are just not EVER okay, and that is one of them. My poor kitty.
The kitty we adopted is such a sweety. We got her at the shelter and she is 1 1/2 years old. She is so friendly and even licked my nose today, which was adorable. She even let us give her a bath (sort of) last night as soon as we brought her home from the shelter. Okay, so she wasn't thrilled about it, but it went pretty well.
Right now,
we are taking votes on her name. We are either going to name her
Thalia or
Pandora. Which do you like better? And, after you vote, if you have other suggestions, they MIGHT be considered...(although we're pretty set on one of the two above to keep with our oh-so-cheezy greek gods and goddesses theme that we have going for our cats) Anyway, we'd love to hear which one you like better!
Anyway, pictures are on their way! I am just too tired tonight!
