We are going to get a cat. A kitten, I hope. Mark and I went to PetsMart to look at the cats available for adoption. They only had one kitten, and while we were rather inclined to take it, the volunteer sort of talked us out of it! She was a cute little gray tabby, but the volunteer said there are about 2-3 more litters at the shelter who will be available for adoption next Saturday. He suggested that we shouldn’t adopt the first cat we see, but wait to see who we fall in love with and who falls in love with us.
The volunteer was also really adamant that kittens are a LOT of work and we won’t get any sleep for weeks. That really wasn’t my experience with kittens when I was young, but maybe I’m just misremembering. I’m not really interested in having multiple cats. Just one is a big commitment for me, and I’m not a fan of commitment.
We’re going to need a litter pan and litter and bowls. We will probably get a couple of little toys. The PetSmart brochure recommends all kinds of cool Kitty aKoutrements, but I think we’ll wait and see what s/he actually wants. The adoption is about $75.00. Extra stuff will probably come to $50. If today was any indication, the hardest decision is going to be deciding which kitten to choose.
