A New Addition to the Family
Please welcome our new family member:
We were going to name her "Fleah (as in Flea ah) but thought that was a little mean because she couldn`t help it that she was infested with fleas coming from the streets of Beirut. Then, Tigerboy started calling her "Fuzzy Ball" and that went on for a few hours until we collectively decide on the name, "katy".
It was an adoption that was "meant to be". Saturday night we were at a friend`s house for a bbq and started talking about pets (they have 2 dogs). I said I would love to get a cat and Tigerpapa was all, "I don`t like cats...blah blah blah". Well, we got home around midnight and this really sweet kitty is waiting by our apartment door like she belongs to us. She was purring like crazy and sooooo friendly. Tigerpapa melted. He picked her up and brought her inside! I couldn`t believe it!
Anyhoo, we put her in the maid`s room and gave her some tuna. The next day I took her to the vet and had her checked out. She has fleas and needs her vaccinations but is healthy other than that. She will be allowed out in the rest of the apartment after her flea treatment is complete and she has another bath. We LOVE her!

The best pets come into our lives like that don't they?
And I have to ask, if the cats in the maid's room, where's the maid sleeping? ;)
