The day was very much laid back seeing as I went to work, had a nice day... and then came home and merely watched The Wire.  Carlos, however, did tell me that for my birthday gift I could get a cat.  So, for 3 days I repeatedly went to Petsmart (because they have animals to adopt as well as buy...and I wanted to adopt).  Today I came home with the one.

Cantaloupe is his name, and he is just about 2.5 years old.  He should be 3 in Early 2007.  He is adorable, absolutely beautiful.  He is completely laid back too, I want to find a pair of kitty sunglasses or play reggae for him all day because he just seems like that type of cat.

I hope carlos likes him, I was REALLY hoping to make carlos happy on this not only because I want someone we both can adore, or at least show some affection to.  I also don't want Carlos to feel...without a say in things. 

So, our first day together has gone something like this.  I filled out all the paperwork, bought him a kitty brush, and a little green elephant filled with catnip  YUM.  We are driving home together and first he is fine, a little meow here or there but fine.  (mind you I had to drive about 30-45 minutes to this particular petsmart) Then he starts freaking out and meowing constantly so I am talking to him...hopefully being somewhat comforting you know...what am I gonna do..  So then I look over and there is a puddle on my seat!!!! Okay, I will just clean that up, no big deal I will get some car de-odorizer/shampoo.  Then it starts to get a little stinky.  ack *opened the windows ASAP*  THEN the draw bridge was up and we had to wait forever to get back home. 

All is well now, he explored the house for a while, purrrrred it up, and now is sleeping under the bed. 

XO cantaloupe...I love you.  *cross your fingers that carlos does too!*
