Kitteh

I got a Kitteh yesterday!! I am not a cat person by any means. In fact, I think cats are EVIL. But this cat is the sweetest cat you will ever meet. He won't stop following me around either.

I went to the Richmond SPCA to get a cat named Tater. She was black, and furry and it said she was super friendly. Perfect for me. I've always wanted a black cat. I had been looking at her profile online at petfinder for almost a month when I finally decided to make the drive yesterday. And of course, as soon as I got there, I found out she was adopted the night before. Just my luck.

I was going to give up and go home. After all, I didn't really want a cat. The only reason I went to get the cat was because while home over Christmas my mom bought me a cat carrier, litter box, litter, food, and treats. How is that for a subtle hint? So anyways, I figured I would look around since I already had the cat carrier in the car. While I was in one of the cat rooms, a scrawney orange cat came up to me and started meowing. Then he jumped on my lap and started purring. I entertained him for a few miniutes because he was sweet, but then asked if I could see a black cat that was in a different room. She was black and furry, just like the one I had wanted. But she seemed nervous and skittish. I couldn't help thinking back to the orange cat who immediatley picked me. After all, I didn't want a cat like the ones my family has has that are nice when they want to be and then bite you the next second. I wanted a cat who was more like a dog in the fact that he was always happy to see you.

So even though I couldn't believe what I was doing, I told the people at the SPCA to take the black cat back (she really was georgeous), and please could I have the scrawney orange cat. His name was Creighton, which they had randomly given him so I decided to change it. After a brilliant idea from my best friend. He has now been crowned Sheldon. So now I can sing him soft kitty whenever I want (big bang theory reference if you don't get it).

And that's the story of how I ended up with a orange, short haired, male cat when I went to get a black, fuzz female. Funny how things work out.
