Everything Changes

Loving having Gary running around, it's hard to be depressed with a 6 month old kitten jumping on anything that moves in his vicinity.

Mimi is less than thrilled with him at the moment. They don't fight which is a great thing. He is constantly trying to get her to play with him, which she hasn't warmed up to yet. Unfortunately, his idea of getting her to play is jumping on her tail as she runs away from him.

So far his two favorite games are playing with his Gray mouse (which already is falling apart) and playing in my bathtub.

Now this is the way to spend a day. This photo was taken previously, it's not QUITE so sunny today.

Today was a nice day, albeit a little stressful.

I rented my first ZipCar and picked up Vern and headed out to Farmingdale, Long Island to pick up two new additions to my family, Mimi and Gizmo. They are purebred Persian cats.

I had been looking to adopt one cat, or maybe two kittens. It turns out that a friend from work had two that she had basically had to lock into a room for a few years because of her severe allergies to them. I took them because she showed me a picture and it just made my heart melt!

So I have them here now and the poor things are really terrified. Mimi was hiding under my shower curtain and Gizmo hasn't left the carrier. I took a box and cut holes in it for Mimi and she got in it and went to sleep.

So, I had hoped to take a few pictures but I don't want to scare them any more than they already are. So you'll just have to be patient.

Hope everyone is well.
