Kitten


My fiancée and I have thought about getting a kitten for a long time now. We have looked at different alternatives and found a great adoption center here in New York.

One other issue has been that our room is not big enough. That problem was solved a few days ago because our roommate moved out and we will move to a much bigger room. We talked to our landlord about it a few days ago and he accepted it.

My fiancée found a really cute kitten on the adoption centers website. They had just gotten it and we both kind of fell in love with that kitten right away. I went to have a look on it yesterday and I found it to be really cute.

I dealt with all the paperwork, which was not too complicated. The kitten had to stay over night because it had to be spayed.

When I picked up my fiancée that same evening, we went to a supermarket to buy all the necessities. I actually got a litter box in the afternoon. It is really good and looks like a small house with a transparent hatch. It has an air filter so it will not smell anything.

My fiancée took the day of from her work today so that we could pick up the kitten together. She had not seen it yet so she was really excited. The cat is about two months old and is white and orange. The breed is called Domestic Shorthair.

We got home about two hours ago and the cat is fantastic. It is really comfortable with us and it actually fell asleep on the train home. That is very surprising because it is very noisy down there.

The adoption center told us that it was a little stiff but that is definitely not accurate. The kitten started playing and cuddling with us right away.

One thing that I was a little worried about was if the kitten would start to use the litter box right away or if it would accidently do its personal business on the floor. I am pretty used to cats since I grew up with a few so I know how to train them.

I put the kitten in the litter box and scratched her paws in the sand. She did her business right after that and everything is working out perfectly so far.

I had a quiz in math yesterday and that went great. I just checked my score and I got five out of five correct. I will have a bigger test in math tomorrow with twenty questions so I have practiced for that one tonight.
