The Kitty Update!

Well we still have the kitty.  We can't decide whether to keep it or not.  I told Brad if we go into the weekend with this kitten it's going to be a keeper.  Because there's no way we are going to be able to give it up after spending an entire weekend with it.  Our focus is just different during the weekend.  We're home more and we'll be spending lots of time with her.

Brad got a little panicky about whether or not it is for sure a girl. He doesn't want to deal with a boy cat. We've read up on how to determine male or female on such a young kitten.  We also watched a youtube video and an employee at Petsmart said it's a girl as well. LOL!  Yes, it's that hard to tell if kitty's are male or female! 

Cody and the kitten are hilarious together!  There is no doubt in my mind Cody would have been a good pug daddy if given the opportunity!  Someone depraved him of that opportunity!  No clue who that was!

He loves watching her.  He even helps me keep track of her.  Today she got out of where she was supposed to be,  Cody soon came over to me to tell me the cat had escaped.  Then she appeared a few steps behind him. 

As for Simon....oh geez! He could careless!  They are complete opposites!  We have to watch Simon closely because he's like a bull in a china shop!  He knocks her over and doesn't even realize.  Cody on the other hand is more aware and you can tell he worries about hurting her accidentally.  He's a sweet boy!

Brad and I were tossing out names a few moments ago.  He mentioned the name Mufasa.  I quickly vetoed it by saying, "I'm not sitting in the vet office with a cat named Mufasa!".  He was only joking of course.  But my response made him bust out in laughter!  That's the thing you have to think about...that name being called in the vet office.  I'm not sitting there with Battleship, or Cottontail, or an Ursula.  Yuk!  It needs to be fitting, cute, and it has to go with Cody and Simon.  So it'll most likely be a REAL name!  Because that's what I like!  Here's the tricky part though I'm now much more aware of not using a name we might want for a kid.  Possibly a bit of an off kilter name that I wouldn't quite have enough confidence in to use for a human baby! That's of course assume we keep her.

We'll see what happens!  Hopefully, we'll make our final decision tomorrow.  Brad is currently "bonding" with her.  He's chatting with her as she sits on his shoulder.  Cute!
