New Addition

Well, I had to share. I know its not really interior decorating...okay, its not at all, but I picked up a cat this week. I've wanted one so much since I had to put down my 22 year old cat last year. I selected a sealpoint ragdoll from a purebred rescue shelter. She's a bit cross eyed and tiny. Just adorable.

I initially thought she couldnt be the 2-3 years they said she was, she was just too small and ragdolls are supposed to be big but I checked her teeth and they're all there, in fact a front one is missing, and they're yellowed so she must be that age.

Then I noticed the ear "dirt". Having been a cat owner for a long time I knew she had ear mites but was supposed to have a clean bill of health from her vet. Anyway, I took her to the local vet and shelled out another $122 and got the ear mites taken care of. I also learned she's probably actually 5 years old.

And now I see that her eye is draining a bit and swollen so I guess I'll have to shell out more money for her eye infection.

But she's still worth it. She's lying next to me as I type. She spends as much time by my side as she can and is the sweetest little girl ever. I'm so lucky to have her.
