New Member of the Family

This is the newest member of our family! Her name is Belle, me and Sam just adopted her from the Humane Society on Valentines Day. She's such a little lovebug! I've never met a cat who purred so easily!

It was really difficult for us to only pick one kitty to take home that day, there were too many cute ones! It was nice though, because the Humane Society was doing a holiday deal where all the kitties who were over a year old had their adoption fees waived (Belle's 4 years old), so we only had to pay $20 for her license. She's really adapted to her new home! The minute we let her loose in the house, she walked around like she owned the place. I was really surprised, since I figured that any cat we would adopt would have a hard time trusting us, or feeling safe in a new environment, but she immediately bonded with me and Sam. She acts like she's been living with is for years!

She's really fat! Her tummy basically drags on the ground when she walks, which doesn't really make sense since she doesn't eat all that much. I guess it's just cuz she's really lazy (she fits right in!), her day mainly consists of watching birds eat on the patio, laying under the couch (her favorite hiding spot!), and making good use of a lap when it's available! I'm really glad we picked her, she fits in with us so perfectly!

In other news, me and Sam saw Coraline last weekend with a couple of our friends. It was really good, and worth seeing, but I enjoyed the book better (it's written by Niel Gaiman, one of my favorite authors!). They changed the story a bit to make it less frightening, and added a new character, but I'll still be getting it when it comes out on dvd.

I was really sick yesterday, and the night before. I'm on the recovery end now, but I definitely do not want to experience anything like that ever again! I think it was the worst I've ever been sick in my entire life! (I hope that last sentence made sense!)

Anyway, It's 9:50 now, and I told myself that I'm going to school tomorrow, no matter what (I skipped today and yesterday since I wasn't feeling well) so I'm off to bed. Hope everyone is doing well, and sorry for not posting anything in such a long time!

I have a cat named Armond that looks just like Belle. He is 14 yrs old and still plays like a kitten. He also purrs loud. And if you are sick he lays on top of you. My mom looked up up what type of cat he was, and found out it was an Angora Tiffany. He kinda turns brownish in the sunlight. I hope you have an enjoyable long life with Belle.
