Lurk no more...

[strangetomato]

Did you know that today is Delurking Day out there in the blogosphere?

 

That's right. So, let this be an invitation to anyone who'd like to introduce themselves and say hi. You know I'd love to hear from you. No pressure, of course, but you may as well delurk on Delurking Day, right? Come one, come all. Get a conversation started. I'm all ears.

This was a great day for me. I made some real progress on the next update, and there was RL good news all over the place. I was asked to interview for a job that had over 50 applicants and was pleasantly surprised to be offered another job that will stretch my experience significantly. I was also asked to be a bridesmaid in my "brother"s wedding this summer (actually a cousin, but we grew up together like siblings). I'd fully expect to win the lottery too, but I don't actually ever buy tickets.

Now, I should go out there and delurk too, shouldn't I?

Not that I lurk much, but hi. Today was an ok day for me. I went to the doctor and she kept me on the same medication so I guess that means all is well. I have a cat I need to find a home for. He does not get along with the old cat we already have so he's got to go. We can't have a young tom picking on an old queen now can we. I have him here in my room right now, confined with me so she need not worry, but it has upset my cat so much she is hiding under the bed growling. The old cat is Piwacket and she belongs to my parents. She is a black and white stray we adopted many years ago. My cat is Shigwa, a mostly white calico long hair, also a stray but not more than 5 yet. The new cat is Koko, a seal point siamese who is not yet neutered and is about a year and a half old. He was abandoned by his prior owners and just left out to fend for himself. Of course, he couldn't fend for himself, he is a pure bred house cat and can't even catch mice. He was very skinny when I got him. Now he's sleek and healthy and ready for a "forever" home. I hope I can find him a good one. He deserves to be loved and cherished.

I don't have any pictures of Piwacket, but if you picture a fat old black and white tuxedo cat with a crooked white mustache, that's her.

No, you've been a frequent commenter in these parts lately, but it's very nice to hear more about you. ^_^

I get so mad when I hear about pet owners who leave their pets to "fend for themselves." I am sure there's a special circle of hell reserved just for them (well, if I believed in such a place... and I don't, to be honest). Seriously, though, it's one of the worst things a person can do, IMO. Those pets depend on them to live. My grandmother ended up with a cat because of that same situation. Her cats doesn't like him much either. They're both males, and they've learned to deal with each other fairly well now.

Your kitties are so cute. :)

I keep taking in strays and then having to find a new home for them because of Piwacket. She's a very crotchety old dame.
Finding out about abandoned pets makes me mad too. Aparently Koko was one of five cats in that household that got abandoned. We couldn't find the others. They probably all got killed by one thing or another. Koko survived I think becuase the neighbors let him stay under their porch and put out food for him.

Thank you. I think they are cute too. :) soft and furry and purry too
