Although my apartment doesn't allow birds or dogs (and it has some pretty intricate rules surrounding fishtanks), it does allow kitties. So that's what we got this weekend.
We got Perdita (formerly Misty) at VIVA in Lompoc on Saturday. She was a stray that showed up at someone's house, but that someone's husband had allergies so she ended up at VIVA. Perdita means "lost," so it's fitting (although my main reason for picking that as her new name was simply the fatt that I've always liked the sound of it). THey said she's between one and two years old, but I think she's a little younger. We'll see what the vet says. She's a total lap cat - the day we brought her home, she took four naps on my lap while I was on the couch or on my computer.
