I've created a kitty monster

I posted earlier this week about my kitty sitting duties and there has been a new development. It shouldn't be a secret that I love tv. My best friend is probably my dvr (is it wrong to love an inanimate object?). I watch an inordinate amount of television a week. I never really thought that watching all this television could have any side effects, but alas I've been proven wrong. My habits have obviously rubbed off on my ward. She is enamored with the television and can't stop watching!

Do they have interventions for kitties?

It's no secret I am quite the cat lover. This week I have the pleasure of watching my roommate's new kitty Emy. She's an adorable black/brown ball of energy that has been giving Juniper quite the work out. She loves playing with just about anything.. her latest conquests have been beer bottle caps, my hair, and Juniper's tale. I'm going to have to keep the mice handy. This kitty is high maintenance.

the black beauty, Emy.

Q.K.T. - Quality Kitty Time

One of my most recent acquisitions is a 1-year old kitty named Juniper! I actually adopted her from the Animal Protective League of Springfield, IL, where I am from. I had been looking for about 3 months for a cat that I thought would fit my personality. I had an idea that I wanted an orange cat from the start because my previous cats were all black and white or gray. I felt that an cute little orange kitty would complete my life! The search process wasn't an easy one. I had all these ideas of what I wanted, but then the timing never seemed exactly right. I was either going to be going home for spring break or Easter and then end of the year projects rolled around and I really didn't want to get a cat just to neglect it. So all the stars aligned this past weekend. I went to an adoption at Pet's Mart and there she was.. the cutest, nicest, calmest kitten I had seen in my search!

So far it has been going pretty well, we are getting along. She needs a bigger litter box and more toys and I need to get used to having someone depend on me. It is a learning process for sure.. I think this will definitely help me grow up a little and not be so focused on me.
