Our Newest Family Member

We finally got a cat!  Her name is Pepper (or Miss Pepper Potts as I call her) and she is a tortoiseshell calico. She is 6 months old and in the kitten phase of life.  Aaron loves cats and always wanted one.  We were going to get one when we moved into the house, but a month later we had Andrew instead.  We decided to wait till Andrew was a little older.  Well Aaron has been talking about getting a cat for awhile.  I thought we would get one at Christmas but a few weeks ago, Aaron and Andrew went to the humane society and picked out a cat.  They went on a Saturday and when they found the cat they wanted, the lady working there asked Aaron why he wanted a cat.  He told her that he loves cats, his son loves cats and we wanted a cat for the family. She told him she didn’t think he was taking this seriously enough and didn’t feel comfortable sending a cat home with him.  She told him to fill out the paper work and come in Monday to have an interview with the manager.  Aaron told me good thing she didn’t deliver our son or we wouldn’t have been able to take him home.  Its just a cat!  So Monday Andrew and I went over and played with the kitty for a bit and decided to take her home.  I went to the desk, filled out the paper work, paid the money and we were out within half an hour, no questions asked. 

We all love having Pepper around.  Andrew and Pepper have become good buddies and have a great time together.  It is now Andrew’s responsibility to feed Pepper and he does a good job, even though we have to remind him every now and then.
