I adopted a kitten in honour of dad! Yes, I went and got myself an orange cat and she is definitely engaging in Orange Cat Behaviours. I set her up in the master bath since I never use it for showers. Litter box and sustenance are in the tub, soft bed is on the floor. Of course she lies on the cruddy old bath mat that sits beside the comfy bed but….cats will be cats. Oscar himself has a biiig pillow, but the dork is currently in a cardboard box. 🤷‍♀️

I named her Pippi Longstocking. It was one of the first names that popped into my head. I loved Pippi as a kid and it fits her personality.

Oscar is acting like when dad brought Lucy (brindle boxer) home. He was very skeptical and just sat still, looking at her like “what the fuk are you and why are you here”. He followed Pippi around, sniffed her, and they booped noses several times. I thought, that’s good. They’ll get along. Now she’s doing the backwards crab walk, even though she approaches him first. That was really amusing actually 😆 Now he stalks her quietly. I’m keeping her in the bathroom when I’m not home. She’s lying on my chest in bed right now, her sleepy little face is so cute 🥰 I really wanted Oscar to have a buddy, and I think they will get better acquainted soon enough 😬

I can’t seem to get her to stay still long enough to snap a pic, I’ll try again later today! I wish I could get a pic of her face right now but that would be an impossible angle 😅

Dad would have really enjoyed a kitten. He was an animal guy. I really miss him. Things still don’t seem real.

Hug your parents!
