I have secured a fluffy new friend. Her name is Lindy and she's gray/blue 2-year-old with very cute white marketings: a vest, goatee, and four white paws. She's pretty much the cutest thing ever, still kittenish, with yellow-green eyes and medium-length fur. She likes to stare at me a lot, and meow. I'm hoping she'll get more independent as she settles in.
Upsides to Lindy: friendly, bold, sweet, cuddly, playful, cute as hell.
Downsides to Lindy: intrepid, escape artist, sensitive to noise, meowing, diarrhea, biting herself.
She's into everything. Her favorite activity is to watch water dribble down the sink drain. She also likes the noodle toy, eating, my lap, following me, talking, and when the toilet flushes.
We have a big day planned, including a trip to the vet this afternoon, possible flea eradication efforts, a session or two of apartment exploring (the bathroom is her "safe room" for the first 24 hours), an evening feed, and a final play session. Routine is important, and early training. And I have a lot of cat-related shopping to do.
So far I am an awesome mom. Lindy's got a behavior problem of biting when she gets overstimulated from petting, but so far I haven't seen this from her yet. She was spayed just last week, so we're taking it easy for now.
Photo soon!
