I have made the decision to get another cat, sooner than later.
I had originally planned to wait until after the holidays, but Touche has been
wandering around the house like a lost soul since I had to put Little Girl,
my 12yr old tabby, PTS a few weeks ago.
I went to the local animal shelter and spent about an hour in their cat room
looking for a good match for Touche. I was looking for another female cat,
about the same size as Touche. I think I settled on one:
Her name (for now) is Ariel, she's a 2yr old dilute tortoiseshell. She's been
in the shelter for almost a year. She's a little shy, but affectionate and
best of all she doesn't appear to have any desire to be an Alpha cat (that's Touche's job!
)
There were plenty of other beautiful cats there, I wish I could take them all home.
There was this huge (big, not fat) black tom that I might have chosen
if he was going to be an only cat. Unfortunately, was twice Touche's size
and probably would have scared her to death.
Anyway, I'm going to bring 'Ariel' to her new home on Tuesday.
Now, I need to come up with a new name for her.
