A small break from baking this week (except for the usual bread baking) to shower our new kitty with attention.
We decided to adopt an adult cat from the shelter earlier this month and we finally went and picked one out this weekend. I was pretty much dying from cat-related excitement all week long. I read all the heart-breaking 'bios' that the SPCA has online for their kitties, but when we actually went to the shelter Wellington picked us rather than us picking him. He crawled on my lap, purred and then fell asleep. It was like "oh THERE you guys are! Good. Lets go home"
At the shelter they said he was very stressed and upset about being given up by his previous owners and had stopped eating and drinking for a while. But he's done nothing but snuggle and play happily since we brought him home.
Big purrs...
is that a bird outside the window?????
..nevermind zzzzz
It's nice to have a purring buddy watch you pick out recipes to try.
Wellington and I will pick out something tasty to have posted asap!
What a pretty boy. He is so lucky to have found a new home with you.

Aww, I'm not even an animal person, but that's too sweet. I'm glad Wellington found you.

He's gorgeous. I'm so happy you chose a rescue cat. I'm trying to talk my boyfriend into the same thing, since I had to put my own cat down a few months back. I wish you many years of snuggles. :)

Gahhh!!! He is so cute!!
I am happy he found such a good forever home. I got one of my two cats from a Doberman rescue (of all places). He really blossomed after he got out of here, too.
I wish you guys all the best.

Congrats on the new family member! Such a handsome Wellington he is. Isn't it funny how they pick us? He must have known that you'd give him an awesome life.

Hello. I came across your blog while doing a Google image search for "Far Side Cat Shower" and I saw a pic of Wellington and it caught my attention because he looks a lot like one of my cats - Cinder. My wife and I rescued Cinder from a Cat Shelter about 6 years ago and she very much chose us - just like how Wellington chose you.

He's so beautiful!! I really like the represents on his encounter and those very vision It's amazing to have a silently quietly purring companion see you select out treatments to try.
