And there were 5

They say to be careful what you wish for. Of course, this adage never comes true when you wish for money. Or maybe that’s just me.
 

I always feel bad for my 8 year old cat, Vinny,  because the poor guy has to tolerate three barking, gluttonous dogs on a daily basis and I think to myself how nice it would be if I could get him a buddy. But he may not interact well with an older cat and I don’t really have the patience for a kitten so I don’t act on it.
 

Well….
 
A few days before I moved back into my old house, Millie and I stopped by to drop something off at the house around 10:30 at night. Millie’s really good off leash so I opened the car door to let her out. She took off!
 
She ran into the neighbor’s driveway and I saw her approaching a small black and white something. Oh crap, I thought to myself, we’re gonna get skunked again and I found myself taking inventory in my head of whether I had baking soda, peroxide and Dawn on hand to de-stink her.
 

As I approached, a tiny kitten came running toward me, mewing and mewing. I picked up the little tuxedo kitty and starting rubbing it on my face and giving it kisses (with no thought of whether it had fleas or not) when I heard mewing coming from the direction of the car in the driveway. There was another one in the wheel well of the neighbor’s car! This one was black and super skittish so I was having trouble just finding it in the dark while holding the other one.
 

Long, story, short…I ended up taking them both to my friend Michelle, the cat whisperer’s house. I really had no intention of keeping either one but, what can I say? He needed me!
 
 

Say hello to Georgie!

    1. Vinny was less than thrilled at first but they're ok now. Even though, Georgie torments him daily. Vinny just slams him on the ground and tells him how it should be.

  3. LOL, The animal kingdom knows where to go when they want a new home. The skunk was going to sign up too till he got excited and let it slip.
    Good to see you again.

    1. It's funny because I was actually going to keep the black one but he was a stinker so a friend took him. Now, the black one is super calm and Georgie's a pistol. Just my luck!

      Thanks. Good to be back. Life is balancing out again.
