Secret Kitty

[labrujah]

Last night I brought a little stray into my room and fed her and watched her explore my room. She's been living on the big street by the train tracks in a clump of grass, flinching every time a car goes by and literally starving, she's skin and bones. At first, when she heard a car outside my window, she'd run underneath my dresser. But now she's more confident and happy, and stretches out to sleep on my floor.

I doubt my roommates will let me keep her (there was a peak of 6 cats at once in our old place, resulting in many nasty puddles and cat-hierarchy fights). So if you have a spot for a very affectionate, well-behaved little orange and gray cat, let me know.

She started using the litterbox right away and is very sweet, and does innumerable cute things like kneading the air with her claws and turning herself around on the floor.

i for one don't know what all the hub bub is about the pet situation. it seems like pets would add to making the place feel more like a home and less like we are living in the storage space of a gallery.
i am more of a dog person but i am intrigued to meet this friendly kitty.

I would love to have a dog around too, but I am away from home so much it would be mean for me to have one. Cats, though, are cool with that.

Elisa will vote in favor of Proposition Kitty, too. We might just push something through.

Wait, so they'd make you turn her back outside? That's really horrible.
Sorry, I'm somewhat of a cat nazi and when I read a post like this, it worries me.

They wouldn't make me put her out on the street, but they would complain if I kept her when they'd decided we couldn't.

One roommmate is very allergic to cats, so I kind of understand, although I think our place is big enough that we could have one.
