bladesparkSo looks like we're getting another cat.
I was planning on getting a second cat soon anyhow, since this apartment allows two, unlike the previous place, and Kali is a nuisance sometimes who might be happier with another cat to play with, and might pester us less. (She just wants to play all the time!)
Anyhow, JJ's mother's nail stylist (obscure connections FTW!) found a stray and is trying to find a home for it. And (here's the real selling point) it's a pointed longhair! I LOVE pointed longhairs. In my opinion they are the prettiest cats ever. Elegant yet fluffy and cute. I nearly picked one out at the shelter when we got Kali, but the only one they had there was a real behavior problem, and wouldn't let you touch him at all. (What's the point of having a cat you can't pet?) So if this cat is at all personable, I'll be taking it.
I've made an appointment with the vet, so if and when I get this cat, I can take it in as soon as possible. Strays have all kinds of nasty diseases sometimes, and so it'll have to be quarantined until we can be sure it won't give Kali something awful, and I want to get that taken care of quickly. Having Kali shut out, and this cat shut into my room (JJ doesn't want it in his, and the livingroom and kitchen don't have doors, and the bathrooms are both really small, I'd feel cruel shutting a cat in one long term,) is going to be a nuisance. Though I guess it means I'll be able to listen to my music without feeling guilt over subjecting JJ to it.
So anyhow, kitty!
