Saying Goodbye


It's been a week and I just thought we should admit to you all that we gave away our Kitten, Luna. Here's the thing...as cute as she was we didn't think we could handle any more scratches on our feet, legs, hands, arms, and chests. Every day when we'd come home from work all she would want to do is play. After an hour or so of letting her chase around a string we would get tired and want to sit for a minute but she would never allow it. She would begin attacking (biting and scratching) whatever she could and it just got old. We think she would have been much more calm if we were home throughout the day but since we both work it's impossible. We posted an ad on Craigslist and we had 10 or more people call within just a few hours because she is so dang cute. We gave her away to a great family who has another cat she'll be able to hang out with. It's for the best and we feel it in no way reflects our ability to take care of another (no wise cracks about how we'll be able to handle children, babies don't bite and scratch). We just weren't home enough for her and know that she'll be way happier in this new home, not cramped in a one bedroom apartment by herself. We kind of miss her but it way out weighs having to deal with her. Farewell Luna.

That picture is so funny. This is the reason I won't let us get a cat, either. I don't want another little thing around to take care of! I think you made the right choice because you need to live it up and enjoy your freedom to the fullest before you have kids.

I hate cats...all cats! Those scratches hurt for a really long time. Just so you know...kids do scratch and bite, but for some reason they can get away with it. You should name your first born after your first pet.haha

Luna after luna lovegood? I love it! I know what you mean about kittens! We couldn't stand our cat because he was sweet during the day and would go wild at night, so now we put him outside at night and he sleeps all day, and there's no disgusting litter box to clean up. So just save the kitten for when you have a house, I'm glad it hasn't hurt your confidence in your own nurturing abilities!
