That Was Then, This Is MEOW :)

I have never been a cat person for a variety of reasons,

 ...but my girls love cats and even Brad is fond of them.  He has been talking about getting one that would be a mousing cat and keep watch over our pole barn.  There was a stray cat that visited us for a little while last year and everyone (but me) was smitten with it.  Brad was talking about keeping it and then all of the sudden it didn't come around anymore....I had nothing to do with that. :P  I was picking up Karly several weeks ago at a friend's home and the mom asked me if we would want a cat.  She said there was a super nice cat that's owner had passed away a couple years ago.  It was used to being indoors, but had been living outdoors for a while and going back and forth between their home and a neighbor's home, but neither thought they could take it in because they had their own animals already.

I saw the cat at that visit and filed the idea away....but really wasn't thinking of pursuing the option.  Then, I thought....I am really the only one who is holding us back from having a cat.  I could at least give this a shot.  So, we are in a trial period to see how SNICKERS likes it here.  I am not sure if she will be an indoor cat or an outdoor cat since she is used to both options...but right now she is in our garage enjoying her cat food.  She was a scaredy cat for a while and hid under our garage steps until I came home from the grocery store with food for her.  Brad said she came out because she heard my voice and she really loves me....ha!  He is totally trying to get me to bond with her.

She's a Calico....if I have to say I like a cat....I do think they are cool when they are multi-colored like this.  She is a very pretty cat.  We have not tried to introduce Kooper to Snickers yet.....that will be interesting :)

This is the hope....but, probably not the reality.
