Well, I'm back online. Bought my first house, I got tired of renting and the strange renters that come and go. Anyrate, I thought after I moved, everything with my cable connection was good, plugged it in and it worked, so I cancelled the scheduled re-install. Not sure how it all works but a couple hours after cancelling, sure enough my connection is killed. So I had to reschedule for a week and half later(today).

Anyrate rather than a boring pics of the house, her's some pics of my new cat. Another perk of not renting is that you can have pets : )

Cool! Congrats on your finishing move.

What kind of cat is it? Looks like it has bluish eyes there.

Well, I don't know a whole lot about her. One of my co-workers knew I was moving and was interested in getting a cat. So 2 weeks before I closed on the house he was at home visiting his parents on the farm and his mother had just gotten the cat from a friend who did home health care. Long story made short, the previous owner was an old lady that was going to the nursing home. So my co-worker called me up and said, do you want her, otherwise she's going to become a barn cat. Originally I sort of wanted to go to the humane society and pick out my own cat, but really, for a cat that's always lived indoors, transitioning to a barn is a bad thing. So I agreed to meet her and they offered to keep her for 2 weeks. And now she's my cat : )

The joke for a while there after the move was that she had more furniture than I did(cat carrier, food bowls, cat box, 2 blankets, cat bed, cat castle, etc.).

No clue what her original name was. I've always liked simple names for pets so I'm calling her "Sam." I feel a little bad, but I took her to the vet last week and had her de-clawed in the front. She was really enjoying taking chunks out of the carpet on my stairs and with furniture on order I had to make the choice. She's been coping well, though that newspaper cat liter they tell you to use works pretty bad. She was sneezing a lot the last couple days but seems to be getting better, I think she caught a cold during her over-night at the vets.

Oh, and got a bigger bed on order. She likes to sleep at the foot, but every now and then falls out of bed heh. Things that go thump in the night.

"Spoiled" Sam!

Congratulations, Metheus! I hope you and your new companion bond for life.

Just go very easy with Sam for several weeks, because a Siamese I once knew who was declawed learned to bite to defend himself and did so very painfully (twisting his head in the process to leave a pretty good imitation of a claw mark) at unexpected moments.

Our present cat came to us declawed and had probably been hassled by kids afterwards, as it took us a while to get him to let us pat him without biting. He still does, but in a loving, playful way.

But I'm sure you're a gentle, considerate partner. Siamese have wonderful vocabularies, too, which I'm sure you'll pick up quickly.
