Jersey was very unhappy when I put this too-small Halloween costume (that I got from work for free and planned to give to my parents for their dog, Nugget) on her. She basically just flopped over and refused to move.
A few crappy camera phone pictures from Buster’s (oh yeah, his name is Buster) first weekend.
I just couldn’t do it.
I went to Dallas Animal Services today. I spent an hour with the cats, with a break in between to check out the dogs, but I just couldn’t bring myself to adopt a cat. My heart broke about a thousand times just thinking about all the poor animals there, especially the ones that are scheduled to be put down this week. I had to hold back the tears a few times while I was there.
I fell in love with a Tabby/Siamese mix, but he was already adopted. I also fell in love with a super sweet Tabby, but as I was spending some time with him, a couple who was interested in him earlier in the day came back to sign his adoption papers. I was almost sure I was going to take home Myles, a little short hair mix, but something stopped me.
This would be my pet. A cat who would hopefully be around for many, many years. I want to know I am making the right decision. When I adopted my cat Jersey four years ago, I saw her online, went to the shelter, went home and immediately went back the next day. I knew she was the right cat for me.
I plan to continue my search until I find the right cat for me, and for Jersey.
A friend for Jersey.
I have been thinking a lot about adopting another cat lately. I told myself as soon as I had a bigger place I would get a friend for Jersey. Now that I have been in my condo for almost three months, it’s time to start thinking about it more seriously.
I just checked PetFinder.com and there are just so many cats up for adoption. Of course, I would take them all if I could, but I’d like to get a young (not a kitten) female cat. I am not too picky on the breed, but I am partial to Siamese cats after growing up with them and Jersey is a flam point Siamese.
I think after the first of the year and after my week long business trip, I will really start looking. Stay tuned!
