OMG NEW KITTEN!!

in two hours, i am going to pick up my new little man, Baby Murdoc. ("muds" for short)

can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait... i have to admit, i'm pretty useless at work right now, heh. i'm way to excited!!! ^_^

pictures to follow in subsequent entries.

Murdoc (who is currently named "charles") is a five month old domestic shorthair that was surrendered to the Humane Society when his previous owner decided to move. i swear that i have said this a thousand times: PEOPLE, WOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CHILD BEHIND WHEN YOU MOVE? THEN WHY DO YOU LEAVE YOUR ANIMALS?!? nothing pisses me off more. cats and dogs are NOT disposable; they're not just for "when it's convenient" for you. i hate hate HATE people who do things like this. if you can't make that level of committment, for all the love and comfort they give you so selflessly in return, then you SHOULD NOT HAVE ANIMALS.

my little girl was a stray... poor little girl. she latched onto me the minute i brought her home, she was only 3.5 months old. that is how i became her "mom"... she has followed me relentlessly ever since :) and of course, i don't mind. i love my little girl more than anything.
and now she will have a little brother! it's better for her... now that i'm living so close to work, i can come home at lunch, but i still want her to have company throughout the day so she doesn't get lonely. the bird, unfortunately, isn't much help in that aspect.
