Happy Birthday to Me

(Our decision making process. We ended up picking the kitty with the pink fluffy hair tie around her neck)

Today is my birthday! Happy birthday to me. Yes, I am 28 and very very happy about that because for my birthday (+ anniversary and + summer vacation) gift Pat got me a hairless Canadian Sphynx kitten! That is right, we decided to get a little gremlin kitty. Yesterday, we drove the motorcycle out to Brooklyn on a very lovely and warm Easter afternoon to take one final look at the kittens.

Over the weekend, we went to another breeder of a different kind of hairless cat, called the Peterbald. I didn't think they were nearly as cute as the Canadian Sphynx kitties. The Peterbald is also related to the Siamese breed, and everyone knows that Siamese are temperamental and loud (yuck). Also, the Peterbald didn't feel like suede, rather they were more sticky, which we didn't like at much.

So, yesterday the decision was made and we put our down payment on our little kitty. I am SO excited and can't wait until June, when we actually get to take our kitty home.

I can't believe how much I have fallen in love with these cats. I think they are the cutest things ever. Especially the little kitten in the video below. Unfortunately this kitten is taken, but it is by far the cutest kitten I have ever seen. When picking out our kitty, I kept getting distracted by this cute gremlin.





So now we have 2 months to learn all about how to train a cat to go potty in a toilet. Yes, that is right we are totally training her to use the toilet.

We also have to decide on a name. So far I like the names Fluffy, Meatball, Butterbean, and Puppy. What do you think?

p.s. Glenn Beck was at our church yesterday.
