So. We were going to get a Christmas cat this year, but after my miscarriage, I thought it might be nice to shorten our time frame a bit, to give me something other than my sadness to think about, plus have someone around for those times between when Rudy goes to bed (around 7:30 pm) and when Jason comes home from work (around 11 pm).Enter Rufus, a 19 month old sweetie off of KSL. He's really chill, and was totally free, along with all his supplies. All we had to buy was a collar and name tag, a bag of litter, and a spray bottle for training purposes. Really, though, he's pretty well trained. He uses his scratching post for scratching, doesn't swat at us (not even Rudy) and has yet to try to get onto the counter. He doesn't even do that annoying whining etc. in the morning when he wants his breakfast.
Anyway, he's been great for the less than 24 hours we've had him, and I'm sure he'll be a wonderful addition to our family for years to come. It's great to have him around to pet and dote on, and it's fun to see Rudy and Rufus figuring each other out. Soon enough, they'll be fast friends, I'm sure.

Congrats on the new addition! Isn't it great that now you have room for more than just a fish, rat, hampster, etc?
So cute. It looks like Hobbs a little bit!
Cute, cute, cute cat! He looks so much like Waldo! It is so fun to have a cat with a little one. They really do get along well, and the kids imitate the cat, which is priceless!
