crazy cat lady

before nick and i bought a cat, i was warned by my friend cory that newly married couples talk about their pets like it's their child telling of the new and exciting things they were doing. i promised that would never happen. i believe my words were, "geez, it's just a cat". well...i may have to take that back especialy since i got teary eyed for the first time ever when a pet cat died in a book i'm reading. so, if you're with cory on this one, or you think people who talk to their animals are insane, you might want to skip this entry in the blog... kioko needed a few more shots since she's just a kitten and she also had a cold, so we searched for a vet to take her to. we ended up at banfield in petsmart which i was very impressed with. it's so clean compared to the creepy place we took my animals as a kid. anyway, long story short we put her on a "wellness plan" which is a bit like health insurance, we get "preventative care" at a discounted price. funny thing is, nick and i don't even have insurance and this little creature of ours does! i never thought i'd want to take such good care of an animal in my life! i even let her sleep in bed with us since her shoulder was sore from the shot and she was whining. geez, what is happening to me? although i suppose it could be good practice for when i have a kid all this taking care of her and stuff (we came home with ear cleaner, instructions to trim her nails, brush her teeth, demorming medicine and an antibodic) however, our children will never sleep in bed with us. so there you have it, i'm turning into a crazy cat lady. maybe. those types would have 47 cats living under one roof , the house would smell like urine and if you breathe in while visiting you'd get a hair ball. i promise i'll never go that far. and unlike my promise to cory, this one i can keep!
