I am more and more becoming a crazy cat lady.
I have a song that I sing when I'm feeding Luna. It goes: "Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy tummy tummy." This crazy tune continues until she finishes eating and gives me a head-tilt. She knows the score. She isn't the one that's nuts.
I often misplace things (that comes with owning a cat too, right?) and end up asking her, directly, if she's seen said things. I get another adorable head-tile and sometimes a low hrrm-hrrroo.
It's when I am sleeping that I realize I have truly lost it. I sleep in a twin bed next to a wall. Whenever she crawls under the covers with me, I will literally bend over backwards so my 'little baby' is comfortable. She pulls some cirque-du-soliel shit beside me whilst I'm clinging to the edge hoping I won't fall out.
Finally succumbing to the wiles of my adorable kitty, I settle for the corner of my bed. Any child would be scolded. Any normal animal would be chastised then promptly pushed to the floor. Somehow, in my mind, I have concocted stories of how she will resent me should I punish her.
She's only a year old. Sigh.

Poetry of the Day
Furball yawns in my face.
If it fits, she sits.
She sleeps where she wants, poops all day long.
Curls up in a ball, twitches herself to sleep.
Such a spaz. Runs from everything.
Bolts at the slightest noise.
Such a spaz.
But she rolls around, makes tinny little meows.
Licks my hand.
I can't resist.

But she rolls around, makes tinny little meows.
Licks my hand.
I can't resist.

Trying to Adopt a Kitty
For the last year or so I've felt the urge to adopt a pet.
I have always loved animals (at least for as long as I can consciously remember). I have always had friends with animals, but only had a cat for a while when I was about 7 years old.
So now, being much older, I really want a cat. Or specifically, a kitty.
Man. They're tough to find.
For one thing, everyone wants kittens. It seems that people want the cute and cuddly young things with their eyes as big as plates in their heads. So most of the time when I look at the SPCA website or at other shelters, all the kittens get adopted within two days of being posted.
No one seems to want black cats. I don't really get it. Is this superstition? Cats are colourblind, can't we be as nondiscriminatory as them?
Anyway, my hunt continues. Of course my parents can be picky too. My mom doesn't want a black cat, we both don't want long haired cats, she wants a tabby, she wants one about 5 months old (specific enough?), and of course she wants one that's never been sick or injured.
These are rescue cats! They've been injured (maybe only emotionally) before. Regardless of how picky my mother seems to be, I am bent on getting a rescue. I don't believe in buying $800 cats when there are cats out there in need of a home. Those purebred pets aren't desperately seeking a home, they'll do fine. It's the strays, abandoned, and abused animals that I want to adopt.
So the hunt continues, with my long list of requirements. I'm hoping that one day everyone can adopt a pet if they're able. Animals really are a balm for the soul on rainy days.
