In the last hour I've bought:
- One interactive cat toys set including 2-way tunnel, bell crinkle balls, sisal mouse, novelty catnip figure and feather teaser wand
- One cat litter scoop with stand
- One cat feeding bowl (with cat ears)
- One cat water bowl (with cat ears)
- One cat soft slicker brush
- One jungle stripes design patterned scratching board with catnip
- One Trixie Paulo cat litter tray with rim (taupe/cream)
- One bag of Catsan hygiene cat litter (20 litres)
Yesterday, Charlotte and I visited Pets at Home to pick up a cat carrier.
I also insisted on splashing out £2 for a cat advent calendar.
Yes, you've guessed it, we're getting a dog. Sorry, cat.
We've talked about it for ages and, as a confirmed cat lover, I've always been in favour. But Vanessa was less convinced, which was why Charlotte had to settle for a hamster some months ago.
Unfortunately, Luna has turned out to the most boring hamster in history and her demise can't come too soon. I would imagine our new cat can probably help with that; either by eating her or playing with her in her see through hamster ball until her tiny heart gives out. I'll keep you updated on that.
Once our purchases arrive tomorrow, we will be missing just one thing. An actual cat.
The plan is to tour rescue local centres at half-term and hopefully we'll find one that suits the name Theo or Kit. Or something totally different, depending on how creative Charlotte is feeling on the big day. The only name she has definitely ruled out is Barry (which I would have done at birth if someone had bothered to ask me).
So, fun times ahead, until he/she starts bringing dead baby birds into the house, at which point Vanessa will tell me to take it back. But no, the cat is staying. Hopefully for about 20 years. I suspect Luna might not see many of them.
