Today I learned that I will probably be adopting a cat this weekend. I was planning to adopt two cats last month, but the plans fell through. I was disappointed but something about the whole transaction felt wrong to me. They were two young cats who had been living together, so I wanted to keep them together. After a series of obstacles, and a seemingly unreasonable adoption fee, I let my instincts steer me away. I still feel sorry for those two cats. It wasn't their fault.
There's nothing extraordinary about the new cat. He's about as plain as a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Just a grey tabby with a sweet face. We're going to meet on Saturday, and I'm hoping we hit it off from the get-go. I miss having a cat in the house since we lost Corey last year. I used to love how he'd curl up beside me in bed purring like a motor boat, especially when I was sick. Yeah, I know he was stealing my body heat but there was something very comforting about his presence. And he would always let me hold him like a baby, and gently rub his paws against my face. He was detached at times, and sometimes grumpy, but I always knew he loved me. I miss the companionship, and soft little meows, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high. We'll see how things go.
**UPDATE** We brought this handsome boy home today. He's got a beautiful grey coat with big green eyes, and he's extremely affectionate. Looks like I have a bona fide lap cat. We are very excited to have this new addition to our family. : )
