Meet Giselle

We have a new addition to the wolfepack. Giselle is our new 3-4 month (?) old kitten. The decision to get her came from the fact that because we live on a busy street we won’t be able to let Bagheera outside. I didn’t want him to be bored and lonely when we are at work all day so I decided that he needed a girlfriend (a purely platonic relation though, due to certain, uh, alterations). So I found a cat rescue organization that had some kittens and we went a week ago to check it out. The whole drive there Stephen kept saying “we don’t need another cat”, “one cat is enough” etc. I knew he would change his mind as soon as we got there, I was right. This “organization” was basically a woman who turned her backyard into a big cat house. She had over 300 cats! It was very interesting. She didn’t have very many kittens, not the right time of year, but she had a couple of litters. The first kittens we looked at was Giselle’s litter, which what 2 boys and her. Stephen liked the boys because they were really playful but Giselle (who was named Gumbo at the time) was really sweet and purred nonstop. We looked around some more but came back to her. Stephen almost talked me into getting 2 cats (this from the boy who said he didn’t want any more cats) but we decided on just one. We of course had to come up with another Disney name for our new baby. We decided on Giselle which is the princess’s name on Enchanted because such a pretty girl needed a pretty name. She is sweet and playful (she is currently sleeping on my lap). She purrs constantly. She sleeps with us at night, usually next to Stephen. She also has a really cute meow. It’s like a raspy old lady meow. Another interesting fact about her is that she was rescued from the humane society who were going to put her to sleep without even putting her up for adoption (I guess the humane society here isn't so humane). Well Bagheera gets here in a month so hopefully he likes her. Ok, now I am turning into one of those crazy pet owners who talks about her pets all the time and think people are going to interested. So, let me end with some sanity.
