Whoops, I did it again
Sep. 25th, 2016 10:42 amI can't have a dog, so I go get another cat. *head desk* There might be something to that stigma I hate so much, some neurosis. Neuroses?
I actually just went to meet him in the hopes a little shih tzu named Milo would also be there, was prepared to not leave with him, and then his foster mom said, "There have been quite a few applications on this guy, but I didn't get a good vibe from any of them..." and I was toast. I have to give him a shot. Look at his face!
His name is Hank. Or Mike Wazowski. Or Bug. Or... Yeah, I'm not sold. I really think Hank will fit, and it coincidentally ties to my originals, as the captain at Station 51 was Hank Stanley. Of course, Mike would also fit, as there was a character named Mike who was an actual firefighter, not much of an actor and didn't have much to say. This little cat is soooo quiet that I'm finding it disconcerting. Roy talks. Johnny talks. Abe is an enormous talker. Pickle squeaks.
Hank, other than hissing when feeling frightened and purring when I go in there and sit with him, has not uttered a peep. It's endearing, but new. I'm going to have to figure out how he communicates so I know what to look for. He spent the first few months of his life with major sinus issues and, of course, an infection that took his eye. His health is not something to mess with, which is why I'm going to be better about keeping him separate from the others better than I did with The Pick. The rescue said they missed getting him his shots, so that'll make it easier on me to keep him quarantined (they cut the adoption fee in half because of it).
His foster mom totally overfed him, so I also have to work on that belly of his. You can't see it, but it's sooo there. Chubbers!
