here kitty, kitty

i've been thinking seriously for quite a while now about getting a cat.  a couple of weeks ago i was ready to go to the shelter and adopt one but things came up and i ran out of time.  i was thinking about doing it this week but decided i should wait until the weekend when i would have time to spend with the new kitty without having to leave it alone all day while i was at work. 

i was on the phone with adam earlier, talking about different adoption shelters, what sorts of things i'd need for a cat, when i could go today or tomorrow, when an email came through from my friend rachel.  the email explained that her co-worker's sister had to find a new home for her cat because her husband is going to be undergoing cancer treatment and is not supposed to be around pet dander or hair.  because of this they need to find a home for their 7 month old cat.  i heard the reason, saw pictures of the kitty and it was a done deal.  i will be driving down to cincinnati the weekend of february 12 to pick her up and bring her to chicago!  i'm soooo excited!  here are the only pics i have so far....

what's her name?
she is so cute.
i just love cats and tigers are my favorites.
I have a tiger cat that showed up here over the past week. I have made it a home on our enclosed deck, complete with cathouse, and a cat tent and lots of blankets draped over it to keep the chill out. I would love to bring him in, but with 2 cats plus my 18 year old dog, it makes it tough.

If you need any cat advice, call me anytime.

PS-Mamaw would be so tickled!
the bad aunt
