everyone else on lj was doing it...

So I've found myself with a kitten.



It wasn't completely spontaneous as I've wanted a cat for quite awhile now, but he just kind of dropped into my hands (or was rather shoved into my hands). I'm a total cat person at heart, but since my parents got divorced and I live primarily with my mom I haven't gotten to be around my dad's cats, which aren't fond of dogs at all. I hadn't been actively looking for a cat for a lot of reasons, one being that I thought it would be difficult to find one that was really good with dogs. But then a friend of mine with five dogs took in a stray pregnant cat, and bam; dog-awesome kittens. And one was "selected" for me.





Basically he's pretty cute and likes to run around like crazy and then fall asleep. The dogs are not particularly happy, but I hope they get used to him. Panic is a jealous mopey mess which makes me feel TERRIBLE, but I figure if he can't get used to a kitten then he definitely won't get used to a puppy.

The biggest problem is HE NEEDS A NAME!  So if anyone has any suggestions I would love them. I like weird names.

To a great cat

I'm so devastated. Soon after I made my previous post about my new kitten addition, I got the terrible news that one of our cats (that lives with my dad) was killed.




Oreo was the COOLEST cat I've ever met. Funny and weird and just awesome. I remember when I first got him and he would follow me everywhere. I was probably seven years old. I remember teaching him to come, sit, down, and wave back before I even had dogs to train. Such a FANTASTIC cat that died in such a HORRIBLE way--my step brother accidentally hit him backing out of the driveway.


I just can't believe it :( 
Horrible terrible accidents like that can happen so quickly.
