chico and the man.

we now have cats.

well, cat...as soon as the one who ran away when she figured out what was up comes back we'll go get her too...

apparently, she is kinda skittish and not too social...keeps to herself and only occasionally will join the family for some interaction...

great...a pet with issues...because that's just what i need...sigh...thing is, she'll fit right in...

i'd like to think it was just part of her nature that she bolted rather than something to do with having taken one good look and us and deciding to run like hell...

though i'd totally understand as i have had those days, too...

they are both girls and come as a pair, though they are not siblings...the one we currently have is very very very sweet and seems to have acclimated to her new digs quite nicely...though i think she misses her friend...

we weren't prepared to take them right then...we were just going to *look*...but as these things happen the guy who had them had other ideas and in about 2.5 stale cigarette smoke filled seconds on a filthy apartment building landing COMPLETE with an inexplicable scattering of macaroni and cheese on the welcome mat and a lovely decorative display of silk flowers and color coordinating glass vases in front of the neighbor's door (for ???) we were being handed cats and they were *ours*...

who are we kidding, though...dogs have owners, cats have staff...

though the duke REALLY REALLY wanted to name a cat "calvin coolidge", we aren't going all angelina jolie on them and have decided they are keeping their original names...

they are both sweet names and fit them quite nicely...

and are, as far as you know, "chico" and "the man"...

x.
