No picture of a cat today, but I did celebrate Caturday to the max! M. could no longer resist my charms/whining and today we got a cat! We initially wanted a cat named Dexter that was in the shelter in Vlaardingen, but it turned out that he was only adoptable by people who had a garden. So that was a no-go. I would have gladly taken any other cat available, but M. is quite particular and didn’t see another one that he liked as much. So we drove over to the shelter in Schiedam where we were introduced to a cat named.. Kitty! A very cute, shy girl. She’s a grey tabby mixed with white.
She used to live with an older lady who had to move to a retirement home where she wasn’t allowed. Because she lived with an older lady she isn’t used to noise and she is very shy. Right now she’s sleeping in the bookcase in the study, where we put her when we got home this afternoon. It’s been five hours and she still hasn’t start exploring the rest of the house. But she’s been very cute to us, she even jumped on my lap earlier. She just needs a lot of encouragement. I’m sure in a day or two, she will feel right at home with us and Elmo.

Edit: Oh! I totally forgot to mention: We’ve renamed her Dixie, because there already is a Kitty in our family, of course!
