so guess who is a mommy and daddy now?! my roommate and myself. we went to look at this place on tuesday even though we had decided to wait on getting a kitty. well we saw this little 4 month year old kitty and feel in love and had to adopt him. he was $70 and came with all of his shots, neutered, and a bag of kitty food. in about a month or so he goes back for a booster shot and a rabies shot that will cost $15. i really didnt plan on getting a kitty after we talked about not getting one, but he was sooooooo cute. he is all black with a white "collar" around his neck, white strip down his tummy, and then white nose and feet. he has been pretty good. he is already potty trained which is fabulous!! purrs ALL the time and he also is a huge meower. (if that is even a word) we are trying to make him stop all the meowing because it is just constant. he seems to be adjusting to us and the apt really well and has become a tiny bit quieter with all the meows. his name is Snuli. it is an Islandic word for cute/cuddly. my roommate is from Iceland and i really wanted to name him something Icelandic. my roommates mom came up with the name. so that is my update!! any more suggestions?!?! thanks so much for everything so far!!

name it ***dances a kitty dance***


Just like that!

Not to be the devil's advocate here but did you ever talk about it with your landlord?

Reason I am concerned is that I volunteer for the Humane Society here when I'm not volunteering at the hospital, and owners drop off cats and dogs(usually cats) all the time that they have to "get rid of" because they either got for someone as a gift that didnt want it, or they simply didnt talk it over with their landlord first and the landlord found out about it and threatened to evict them if they didnt get rid of the animal. Also when you and your roomate go your separate ways, who is then going to be responsible for the cat?

Again I dont mean to rain on your parade, I'm a happy cat owner myself, but I see this scenario all the time and I'm a bit sensitive to it.......the Humane Society here in fact when we adopt out, check references of potential adopters and we will call a landlord to make sure they say it's ok to prevent animals from havign to come back to the shelter.

the cat is offically my roomates unless something were to happen where he could not take him or some other circumstance. and i did get in conact with my landlord. the shelter where we got him from required a copy of the lease before we could adpot him. all my bases were covered. my roommate is my best friend too so we made sure everything was talked about before we started looking. :D i was super smart on this!!

now i just need him to get used to his name!! hehe

Happiness is a Purring Kitty!
