Yesterday, Jeremy and I decided to take a walk to enjoy the nice weather (especially before this winter storm gets here!). We took our usual route of down St. David Street, up to the square, around the square (with a brief stop in a local tea shop so I could pick up some tea), and down East Street so we can walk by the kitty shelter to see the cats, and then home again.
We are seriously considering adopting a couple cats in the new year so we stopped yesterday to see what kittens they had. We want two kittens instead of older cats, simply because we have the rats to consider. The girl at the shelter said that kittens would be easier to introduce to the rats and train NOT to bother them as opposed to an older cat.
They didn't have any kittens out in the main room yesterday but they did have a lot of nice cats around. We told the girl we were looking at adopt a couple cats and when she found out we wanted kittens, took us into the back area where they keep more of the cats. Anyway, they had a mother cat who had 7 three week old kittens! They were so small and very cute (they'd just opened their eyes in the past week) and will be ready for adoption in the new year.
Jeremy wants a grey cat, which he wants to name Church (know where that is from? ;) ). As for me, I'd like a tortise shell or white cat. I'm not quite decided on a name yet. I've got a few in mind, including Sera and Baird. For those of you familiar with the Gears of War video games, you will know where those names are from ;). If any of you reading this have any suggestions, please feel free to leave them in the comments section. :)
Anyway, we haven't completely decided yet but it's something we're seriously considering and something we're both looking forward to! I'm sure we'll post more about it in the coming weeks.
