Introducing Olive

Introducing Olive by massdistraction.
Call me crazy, but I've taken in a stray. I am a cat person. I love cats. I was with my old girls for a long long while (13-14 years) so being without a cat in the house this year has been sad. I find them to be comforting. And the last week or so I've found myself poking around on petfinder.com, looking for kitties in need of homes. Even left a couple of voicemails, but never heard anything in return. Around that same time this little stray adopted us. She was sleeping on our front steps, trying to get in the door, rubbing against our legs as we made our way to the car. So I started feeding her. And then...I finally took her in yesterday. She's confined to the bathroom for the time being, until I can get her checked out at the vet's Monday. But just what I need right now, with my house of chaos, eh?

The little man will be so surprised when he gets home.

p.s. I had a much better shot than this one, it was perfect, and I somehow managed to delete it. New rule: no culling from the camera before coffee.

There are never any strays around here, when there's a cat, it's always someone's cat. There was a stray once, but it was a dog. My grandma took it in.

She reminds me of our cat Willy:

She is a total sweetheart. I just hope everything checks out at her exam. I'm a little nervous about Feline Leukemia and all, but we'll see.

Great shot! Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't help myself: as an animal control person, I can't help suggesting you take it to a vet and have it scanned for a chip before spending any real money on vet bills (no charge for a scan), just in case it's someone's beloved missing cat (someone who "forgot to put its collar on after its bath"). Other than that, congratulations--I'm sure she's in a good home. And if you find yourself returning her to some very LUCKY owner, let me know--I can outfit you with any number of great cats looking for homes!

Yay Olive! I love that pic - so playful.

I love stories of cats adopting people. It's never happened to me though.
