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.

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!

There was a kitty - not NSPy - waiting for me outside when I got home. Ok, sort of.

He was acting like he might live nearby, but he was also very skinny and nicked here and there. And very, very friendly (if skittish). (I say 'he' because he gave me quite an eyefull while grooming at one point)

I couldn't _quite_ entice him to come inside where I could call the people we got NSPy from to come get him, but I gave him food which he was _quite_ happy to have, and pettings, and attention. And then I had to go inside and feed NSPy and be a little bit less chilly. And when I went back outside with the numbers to call to try to get him a home, he was no longer around.

I have a really hard time with seeing cats with no collar who are clearly happy with people - and in this case not neutered, so possibly not owned by anyone - out on the streets. And where I live is not precisely very cat-friendly, even if it is where NSPy was originally found.

Poor kitty.
