i'm getting a cat

not that i'm one to announce things before they happen only to not follow through or anything, but i decided to adopt a cat. my apartment building allows them, and i miss having a cat.

what brought this about, you ask? well, two things. one, jane and rachael, our gracious hosts for the first two nights of our seattle trip, had an awesome cat. he was really vocal and really bitey. bitiness may not be what you are looking for in a cat, but i like it; shows they've got spirit. two, i came across two websites that i guarantee will make you want to have a cat. one, cats in sinks, i told you about friday. the other, kittenwar, is, if this is possible, even cuter. i challenge you to go to kittenwar.com, and not want to adopt a cat.

anyway, the only downside of adopting a cat is you can't name it. but in my case, that's probably a good thing. why? well, here's the list of possible cat names i put together when i was hopped up on sleeping pills, and i'm pretty committed to using one of them.
