Bubbles

So, we've gotten a cat!  It's actually kind of a funny story.  I've been keeping the patio door open on our balcony in the sitting room while I'm home during the day.  About 2 weeks ago, a cat started coming up onto the balcony, and eventually she was coming into our place and spending all day with me.  We would put her out at night because we didn't have a litter box or anything.  She had a collar, but no id, and she was so well behaved that we knew she wasn't a stray or anything.  I put up posters all around the square we live in and put a little attachment with a note on her collar.  We went down to Mayo this past weekend, and so we put her out on Thursday evening when we left.  When we got back on Sunday she was laying on our doormat in front of our door!  So, I decided I'd go get a litter box for her.  While I was at the store getting a few things, I got a phone call from a guy.  He said that he and his wife had inherited her from another couple in the area that didn't want her after she had gotten pregnant.  She had her kittens and weaned them, but then she turned kind of aggressive with the kittens and left their house and won't come back any more.  They had her spayed and she's up to date on all of her vaccinations, and he said that she was a very good cat other than the issue with the kittens.  He said he was happy that she had found a new home where she was comfortable, especially with the autumn/winter coming.  So, we are now pet owners!  She's so good- sleeps in her bed most of the day, uses her litter box all the time, and (mostly) uses her scratching post to scratch.  She's named Bubbles, after a character in the TV show The Wire, which I have become addicted to.
