Hi everyone. I went to a local catshow today and I met AmberLee and her sister and niece there. I had read that it started at 10am and that there would also be adoptions going on. For some strange reason I knew that I would end up adopting a cat today. I was almost going to put one of my cat carriers in the car.
When I arrived I spoted the cats that were up for adoption and I went over to take a quick peek. There weren't any kittens so I thought good I'm safe. I guess I won't be adopting any cats today. Later on the Humane Society introduced each cat in one of the judging rings. I was really taken with a cat named Herman. A man seemed very interested in him so I didn't pursue him any further at that time.
We decided to eat and look around at the vendors some more. Then we heard an announcement that another cat had been adopted. I couldn't hear the name of the cat so I went up to the adoption area to find out which cat it was. The male tuxedo named Jackson had just been adopted as well as another one which I had never seen.
I then went over to look at Herman again. I fell in love with his sky blue eyes. I pet him and held him and that was it. I was hooked. They think he's about 2 years old and he may have some siamese in him too. He's a long haired cat but has a summer hair cut because his fur was very matted. His tail is quite fluffy though.
When I drove home, he never even made a noise. I'm keeping him in my spare bedroom right now for the next 10 days or so. My cats know that something is up but don't seem upset about it. He's very friendly and purrs a lot and lets me pick him up and even rub his belly. He also loves to play. I'll take his picture tomorrow and tell you more of his story too. I sure hope that everything will work out with him because his first adoption didn't work out. I've also renamed him Sky because of his sky blue eyes.
