Well... since for some reason my other post didn't get posted (Guess I hit preview and didn't submit) I'll have to retype my adventure and story again!!!
Oh the way home from the ultrasound, DH and I decided to check out the strays at the local shelter. The lady working there was really sweet and probably knew we were cat lovers and she just zoned in on us for the kill.
We are now the proud parents of a grossly overweight, 3 year old orange and white tabby the shelter called 'Fat Boy' and 'Love Pig'. Mr. Nameless (the shelter names I didn't like at all) was the vic. of the 'we don't know how to love him so we feed him' game. Poor guy doesn't even know what a toy is!! He looks at the toy we got him like its just... nothing.
So we decided to take this 30lb cat home. He's monster!!! He is a large cat to begin with but with all the extra food he has had... wow. The vet had him on Iams Weight Control so DH and I are going to leave him on that for now until he's adjusted to live here with us.
And as far as the adjustment goes... no problem. He owns this apartment now. He was on and off the bed last night, nuzzling us and talking up a storm. He gets comfy wherever and cleans himself. This morning I woke up to big orange eyes staring at me.
He has one really strange quirk. He's a licker... but only clothes. He gets near you and the next thing you know your shirt or pants are wet from kisses. Its a little gross but he's happy!! DH thinks that once he is used to being here he'll taper down the love.
But he just wants to be with us all the time... loves people and petting.
We've been tossing around names for him but nothing seems to stick yet. We've talked about Hiro, Kretos and BB (big boi).
Well... here he is. What do you all think??
