Roger that...

So I know some of you may think we acted too hasty, but my house without a feline is a cold, lonely place.

And it's not like I am replacing Wally, just trying to fill the gap he left...

Anyway, being the cat lover I am, I couldn't stay kitty free for long. Him had said whenever I was up to it I could fill that gap at my leisure. I thought about it for a couple of days and on the weekend, asked him to take me to the RSPCA. A friend's aunt also has a few desexed cats she was trying to find homes for, so we thought we would look at those too.

I wanted a boy, and the more I thought about it, the more I would have liked a black one. Well, at RSPCA there were heaps of lovely kittens, all a bit older (about 12-16 weeks), and they looked so cute! But sadly all but one had white collars meaning they were on hold. The one that didn't was black...

In the general population, there was one little kitten and a heck of a lot of older cats. So many purry kitties to choose from. I checked out the little kitten, who was black and fluffy, and 4 months old, and we took him into a private room for a play. Funny enough, all the surrounding cats wanted to be patted but this little bloke didn't.

Anyway, as we wanted a boy, and a black one, we chose him, not worrying about looking at the black short hair kitten we had seen earlier. And as it turned out, all my friend's aunt's cats were girls...

We paid our fortune (worth every cent) and brought Roger home. His kennel name was Nugget but we had decided at a family discussion earlier in the week our next cat would be Roger.

Well, as you can see, he is a pure delight! Very playful, loves his cuddles (especially at night) and is a real valuable member of the house.

Check him out...
