Introducing Claire

Just hanging out

Rascal sending her bad habits from the
grave

I would like to introduce the newest member of my family. Claire. She is a 4-month-old diluted torti grey domestic shorthair.  Also better known as a kitten.  I got her from the humane society in Casper, because like everything else in Casper. I could not find a kitten for sale.  It also isn’t “kitten season” but ooh well.  I had to have phone calls of reference, a letter from my landlord and an interview to qualify for a pet from the humane society.  I expected to go there and pick her up the same day.

Being herself

It took forever to figure out her name.  Her shelter name was like Shabion…, which was not going to work… So it was either Magnolia, Summer, Shea, Spring...and I do like the name Claire (which was one of her sister’s names) and though why not…

Just waking up and this is what I see

Anyway, Claire seems to be a pretty good cat so far (besides pooping in places she is not suppose to be but will over look that for now).  She is very cuddly and playful.  She doesn’t really scratch but is better at using her teeth which I’m not sure is a better thing.  I am glad I choose her over the other 300 cats available there.  She isn’t a baby kitten but just fine with me.  Another corky thing is she can fart and clear a room! I never had a cat that hand such smelly poop.

Claire also is a traveling cat that goes back and forth with me to TJs house.  I feel bad leaving her for hours locked up in the laundry room with no one to play with or be with so she goes everywhere with me so far.

Helping with taxes

I am excited for when she gets to meet TJs puppy in a couple weeks and hope they are the best of friends.  So a puppy and a kitten in the same year will be fun.  I still want a puppy myself but 3 might be a little over kill.  (ooh and don’t forget about the rabbits) 

I do have to say I really still miss Rascal and even have called Claire Rascal a couple times, as well as Kallie.  But that should get better over time.  I’m excited for many more years to come with her.
