Kitten anecdotes ahoy!

Other than I don't see why you want to change their names, this sounds
purrfect.

Congratulations.

It was kittens.

"They're your birthday present", she said. "Well, not yet because I
know it's a bad idea to gift animals, but if you want them, they're
yours."

[more snippage]

"So, do you want them?"

"Oh yes. Yes, please."

So papers were signed and I pick them up at the weekend. Pictures
shall soon follow!

That kind of birthday gift doesn't happen very often! I am owned! I am
double-owned!

What a wonderful post! Your friend/ex-gf handled it perfectly -
apparently she could tell it was time for you to have new owners, but
she didn't just arrive at your front door with them, before letting you
check them out. Good for her. What a great gift.

Congrats on the new owners. I'm looking forward to stories and pictures.
And of course I remember you.

I've been lurking. For about 3 years. Mainly because I didn't have
much to post about. Well, now I do.

Today, my ex-girlfriend and terribly good chum (one of those
relationships that worked so much better after it had finished; I'm
sure you know what I mean) told me she wanted to show me something in
a shop. I'm still in Hong Kong, by the way. I tagged along to see what
she'd found.

YAY!!!!!! Tabby and whites kittehs RULE. I found one of the pictures we
took when you were visiting the Raleigh area some years back. It included
you, Lisa L, Rob and me. Mandy says that you're cute. I told her that the
entire package includes an accent. She liked the idea, but then her
boyfriend called and I couldn't get her to think about moving to Hong Kong
any more.

Pam S. who likes Mandy's boyfriend, but thinks she needs someone who works
for a living

"They're your birthday present", she said. "Well, not yet because I know

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

I inspected them. They are girls, about six months old, and desperately
in need of adoption. They're white and tabby, gorgeous as you can
imagine.

Their names need to be changed. I was introduced to the more outgoing of
the kittens. "She's called Naughty", the adoption lady told me.

"Why?", I asked, but was prevented from further interrogation because of
a kitten attached to the end of my nose and going "rrrrrrrrrrr!"

Then she crawled onto my shoulder, washed my ear, and purred just for a
moment before leaping after a mosquito.

Her sister, Kiki, is far more diffident. She was handed to me, gave me a
brief appraising sniff and a "you'll do" expression and then went back
to her box to watch, dignified, as her sister crashed about the place
going "woo-hoo!".

"So, do you want them?"

"Oh yes. Yes, please."
