I can has?

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I've finally broken down and gotten a pet. A cat named Roxy. She's an extremely sweet British Shorthair (just like happy cat!) that didn't work out for breeding (her first litter was delivered c-section), so the cattery put her up for adoption.




Ok, actually I can't get a good picture, because she's still hiding under the bed most of the time. But I thought it made a very meta macro.

But I DO have a picture from the cattery so you can see what she looks like...

Ohhhh sweet baby! *falls in lurve*

Damn you laser cats Ann-sempai, damn you! You have brought out the big guns, and now the Mews will have to... to... come out and visit you!

...But not before Roxy comes out from under the bed. We don't want to traumatize her any more than the gang of us would already.

you say that like it would be a BAD thing. (the visit, not the traumatizing)

Well, other than the rest of the Mews restraining me while I try to pack the entire house for the visit, it wouldn't be bad at all. I love road trips, I just hate starting them. Weird but true; I seem to suffer some separation anxiety so prepping and taking off on a trip drive me batty but I love being on the road and going to new destinations and seeing friends.

So I always appreciate it, massively, when I get a visit. Just so ya know. ^__~

I've found, by the way, that for the naming of cats, it helps if their name has a distinct vowel sound(s), different from the vowels of other names used in the house. That's not so important with just you and Roxy, but if you decide to change her name, she may acclimate to it faster if you use the "ah" sound of the 'o' in Roxy in whatever name you give her.

Of course if you use her name when you call her for treats and food, and don't use her actual name for calling her for things like medicine or claw clipping, she'll learn to love any name you give her right quick. ^__^
