Waiting....

I can't wait for Brianna to wake up from her nap so we can go pick up the newest addition to our family. A 5-month old domestic short hair cat we're going to call Zeus. Philipe finally caved in and said yes to getting a cat and I'm super excited! We drover all over the place on Wednesday looking for our perfect furry companion. We started at Dogs and Cats Forever, a local no-kill shelter, but we didn't see any cats that we would trust around Brianna. Next we went to The Humane Society in Ft. Pierce. While they had plenty of cats, they didn't have a room where we could get acquainted so we couldn't get to see any of the cats real personalities or see how they would take to Brianna's rough loving so we decided to go all the way to Palm City's Humane Society. That place is awesome! Brianna loved it. It was like she was at the zoo. Everything was so clean and the cats had tons of room to run and play so we got to see how they really acted versus being kept in a small cage. Then, once we saw one we liked we went into a private room and got some one-on-one time. At first, I liked this cute orange kitty. It was super cuddly but was a little afraid of Brianna. Once Philipe saw how much hair it left on my shirt he said "forget about it!" and ranted on about why he doesn't like cats and couldn't believe he even agreed to "possibly" get one. He was ready to go home... cat-less.  I asked if we could see one more. This cat was the one that came running up to the door when Brianna banged on it. All the others hid. We brought him in the room with us and Brianna went nuts! She was hilarious. She got down on all fours and started kissing him and she thought it was hilarious that his whiskers tickled her face. Philipe and I were hysterically laughing as we watched the 2 hit it off. We teach Brianna to be nice and gentle with animals so she is pretty good for the most part, but she is still only 1 year old and she has her moments that out of no where she tries to pet something and really gives it a nice hard whack or pulls a tail from time to time. Well, this kitty took it like a champ. She pulled his whiskers and he didn't try to swat her or anything. He's not as cuddly as I had hoped for but maybe that will change when he comes home.

Brianna's up! Check for update later!
