down this road again.....

The girls & I took a trip to the animal shelter the other day, just to take a look around.

And one pretty cat, with a sad story, connected with us and....

.....we brought her home.

She didn't need to be potty trained, she's sweet and she purrs a lot. She's low maintenance and keeps to herself (for the time being). And the girls love her.

I don't really want a cat. And lord knows I don't want to have a litter box in my house again (or ever). But all I know is this cat didn't belong in that place (and she certainly doesn't belong on the street). She's classier and sweeter and she belongs in a home. That's how we were drawn to her, really. The girls oo'd & ahh'd over every kitty there, but this one stuck out because she just didn't fit in with the rest of the scraggly, mutty-looking felines. And yada yada yada.......she's a Howard now. :o)

We took her to the vet, where they gave her a clean bill of health:

The vet's office was a field trip in itself, so many little guys (puppies mostly) coming and going....so much to look at.

Missy (the cat) probably didn't have as much fun as the girls did, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I wonder how long the girls will keep up their promise to change the litter so I never have to touch it???

8 days and counting so far....
