Our cat is weird. The evidence is as follows:
Fact 1: She likes to hide behind doors and wait for you to stick a finger or toy in the crack so she can attack it.
Fact 2: When she feels that you are devoting too much time to the computer (never mind the fact that you have a 20pg paper due in a week, even though you've been procrastinating instead), she will lay on top of the keyboard until she has your full and undivided attention. This is occasionally connected to the status of her food dish.
Fact 3: Her favorite napping place is on the back of the couch. She doesn't mind if she slides down behind the couch cushions.
Fact 4: In addition to hiding in paper grocery bags, she likes climbing into the laundry hamper. She specifically has an affinity for climbing into the bag that holds the dirty socks.
Still, she is awfully cute. I think we'll keep her.
**Editor's Note: Yes, I know that Thanksgiving is exactly one week away, which means that summer is long since gone. However, sometimes life gets in the way (read: kids and I are back at our respective schools), which means that blog updates get pushed back. I promise I'll get everything updated eventually!
Continuing with our theme of visiting National Parks before the end of summer vacation, our next adventure took us to the Maryland side of Great Falls to the C&O Canal.
For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to visit, "C&O" stands for the "Chesapeake and Ohio" Canal. Take a few minutes to get your history on and learn something.
Well, we all thought that little Annie needed a night at the vet so that she could have a little surgery done. Turns out she didn't need it at all, so we got to pick her up a day early!
We thought that she would need some time to get acclimated to each room in the house; we figured on one room per day.
Annie knocked that expectation out to approximately 3 minutes per room.
This adorable new member of the family explored the house...
...jumped all over the piano...
...and then settled down to allow herself to be fawned over by the kids.
This is one seriously happy, lovey kitty. :)
Meet Annie!
We've adopted her from the local shelter, but we can't bring her home yet. Our beautiful new 2-yr-old orange tabby needs to get spayed first, so we'll have to wait four long days before we can pick her up from the vet. We're really excited, especially since she is just about the sweetest kitty in the whole world!
Welcome to the family, Annie!
