EMILIO: Our newER kitty. We wanted to get Wrigley a playmate so she wouldn't be lonely - and supposedly her rambuncious behaviour when we do come home would tone down. VERY true! I went to Humane Society on Tuesday and there he was - a little white 9 week old kitten that looked just like Cookie (my family's cat) when she was little. Just with shorter hair! My mom thought I was ridiculous to get another cat - but really, 2 isn't really different from one - and he's just so lovable. So, after some initial hissing at the new addition, Wrigley was in love, well cat-love. Which, as I've come to understand it, consists of a lot of cuddling and grooming one another... surprisingly similiar to humans now that I say that. Needless to say that it did the trick, and she hasn't so much as looked at the christmas tree (she was constantly climbing it before) and she barely even notices when we leave. Emilio is a very needy and cuddly little kitten, he practically wants to be sitting on your lap or picked up all day long. it's great.

We took him to the vet today, as I noticed he wasn't eating and he had begun to limp - so they checked him out and figured he had come up with a fever - so after getting a shot to take it down, he stopped shivering and slept it off this afternoon. Now he's back to eating and walking normally.


As for the name, that was Dave. If you've ever seen "A Night at the Roxbury" you will understand. I had the choice between Chet Steadman and Emilio... so naturally I chose what i did.


I feel like one of those weird cat ladies. But I really am quite content to be just that!



Dave took the pictures with his Blackberry, so they're a little blurry! Well, I took this one. :)
