Well….it happened again.
We have been talking about the prospect of getting another cat now for sometime. We both agreeded we would not do it until Lola was completely comfortable in the house and its surroundings. That time was quickly approaching.
I told Jess that I would like to get a grey kitten this time and name it Gandalf, after the very famous wizard of the same name.
So here we are tonight leaving Wal-Mart (hate the store) on our way to PetSmart to pick up some new plants for the aquarium. Jess asked if we could go to Pet Wonderland, the store where we got Lola. I told her that I’d forget about PetSmart and take her to a different pet store that she had never been to before, and that it was on the way to the fabric store she wanted to visit. Ditching PetSmart was no biggie since if we had gone to Pet Wonderland and Jess had fallen in love with another kitten, we would have been raped again by their outrageous prices.
As we got out of the car at Tropic Pet Center (our destination), in the back of my mind I felt pretty safe about going in there. In side I was really hoping that they might have a grey kitten for me to look at, but what are the odds of that happening??
Wouldn’t you know it….
We get there and they only have 3 kittens, all on sale, all with their first shots, and one of them is all grey with green eyes. Now, when I say grey, I means like the perfect shade of grey you could ask for. Even his little pads on the bottom of his feet are grey. I stood there and stared at him through the glass for quite a while before Jess urged me to ask to take a look at him. Well, being very afraid of what might happen I asked to see him. Needless to say, 15 minutes later we were walking out of there with a new kitten.
So without further ado….meet the latest addition to our family, Gandalf!
As of this moment, Gandalf and Lola aren’t very close. But then again, maybe hissing and growling are good things. Afterall, what Klingons due during their mating rituals would make this kind of behaviour look down right tame!
More updates to come!!
