We've started our kitty hunt, with the intention of having a pair of cats (so they aren't bored and lonely when no one is home. Also, they are probably going to get more exercise that way).

This is very, very good, since even though we met and played with a kitty on Saturday, I'm wicked restless due to lack of cat today.

Waiting to hear back about the kitty we already met (So. Much. Impatience.); getting set up to talk to a second kitty hopefully this weekend.

[livejournal.com profile] metahacker and I are going to make a cat tree because ones that are stable, reasonable size (cats really need to be able to stretch tall while sharpening their claws), and not entirely made out of rug are stupidly expensive. And only having one sharpening place seems unwise with two cats.

Kitty, kitty, kitty!

Hopefully now I can focus on studying and organizing and other such things I need to do for school!

Our last cat was FIV+. At most, he might have gotten more colds than the cat I had before him. So yeah, FIV+ really isn't a huge deal.

Why were they repeatedly testing your boy for FIV?

(as far as black kitties, evidently they get adopted out less. So being black _and_ FIV+ is a problem!)

Our guy got the FIV from his mother and sometimes they manage to get it out of their system, it took 3 years I think. He only made it to 8 due to a heart issue but I am glad we had him.

Our current black cat (not an FIV+ cat)is 16. Someone at Arisia '97 had a leftover runt of the litter semi feral cat. She has become queen of the house.
