Kitten Day
posted on february 15, 2003, tag: me
For Valentine's Day this year, no flowers were given. No cards, no chocolate, nothing of the sort. Instead, Katia and I got kittens. Two of them. Felix and Oscar, brothers of three and a half months, now live with us here in the new apartment.
Felix is black with white on his underside, paws and face, and Oscar is gray with the same white areas. They were both found in New York, and Oscar seems to have been stepped on when he was a baby. His tail was broken and healed bent in on itself, forming a shorter tail that's twice as thick. He also has a screwy hip, and from time to time walks a little funny. I'll never understand how people could injure (or abandon, for that matter) animals, especially kittens. They're so fantastically cute.
Now they're chasing each other around our place, purring and lying around. Pictures will come as soon as I get DSL (along with pictures of the apartment for those who are curious).

Are you planning on getting a kitten in your new place, Ellie?
Ellie on 02/20/2003:
I was planning on it... but this complex doesn't allow pets... cats, dogs, lizards, birds. Nothing. One of the girls I work with used to live there and she said she knew people did have cats there, but I dont know if I want to risk it... I'd have to make sure it didn't go look out the window etc etc. I think I'm just going to have to give up on getting one right now, which is so upsetting. :(
