There's something you should know
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Zaphod is getting fixed on Thursday and I don't think I'm ready for it.
Of course, the term "fixed" indicates that something is broken, which is completely false. He's a perfectly happy and healthy little guy with a penchant for stealth activities and calling out in the middle of the night just to make sure we know he's okay.
He can also duck rather well. ;)
I guess it just boggles my mind that I've now been a crazy cat lady for six months. How easily this wee abandoned-in-our-backyard kitten became a part of our five-houseplant household amazes me. DH and I had spent years talking about getting a dog when fate decided we'd be better off with a neurotic cat and brought him to our door.
Here's a reminder of what he looked like when we first rescued him:

Oh, I better go fuss around him until he tells me to go away. ;)

Aw CUUUUUUUUUTE. He sure looks healthy and happy now. Cat don't sleep on their backs unless they REALLY trust you.
My two are 7 months old now.
Hey... I see a playdate in our future!! :D
Oh, I hope he still trusts us after Thursday...
Then we'll talk play dates. ;)
At least I know he won't knock up my little darlings.
As for trust, yeah... that's an issue. Don't bring the cat carrier out anytime soon unless you want him to take up permanent residence under the bed!
This was the first time that Zaphod suspected anything. Normally he runs right into the carrier (we started taking him for drives when we first got him so he doesn't do the vet/car association thing). But I think not feeding him after 8:00 last night triggered his suspicious Ninja nature.
My poor baby!
Awww - he's so cute! I love cats but I'm SO allergic to them. Hope he's okay after his 'snip snip' (And you're wonderful for taking him in and giving him a good home, Bonnie!)
He found us, Leah. Somehow he picked our back yard out of all the others. (Maybe the neighbourhood cats have some kind of secret code like the hobos do.) And he's fine, thanks for asking!
