One Small Step for Man One Giant Leap for Addie


Today, I adopted a cat. Lily Lu Lu was adopted from the Pointe Coupee Animal Shelter. I have been thinking about getting a cat for a while now to help with critter control. I have always had a frog problem outdoors. Recently, I have had a mice problem. Nothing makes you feel like an inadequate housekeeper than when you have these house guests check in. Amazingly they are not after food, but here's the mind blower...they love my shoes, purses and clothes. What the hell?
So now I have Lily Lu Lu. I will mostly call her Lu Lu. She beautiful and just what I was looking for. She was raised on a farm and spent her life chasing critters. That's my girl!
Today has been rough on her. New home...retarded adoptive mother. Poor cat is doomed, and just look into her face and she knows it. She's already broke free and I had to call for back up to help me catch her. I've even been hissed at. All I have to say is keep the fight in you old girl...you're going to need it, my little critter getter!
This will be my lame attempt to take on some responsibility and care for something more than myself.
