I got a new cat yesterday. I feel happy that I got her. Her name is Princess Lela. She is 2 years old and black. We got her at the Kitsap Humane Society. It was easy to pick her out because she was the only cat there that does well with dogs and kids of all ages. It was not easy to see her because she was hiding in her kennel. The shelter worker had to pull her out so we could meet her. They asked us a bunch of questions and let us pet her. She hissed at the other cats and tried to get off mom's lap, but she purred when I pet her. The people at the Kitsap Humane Society were friendly.
Princess Lela cuddles
with me and is always twitching her tail. She sleeps in a box in the corner under my bottom bunk that turns into a couch. When the bunk is folded into a couch, there's room for me to sit back there with her.She has a pink collar with a bell on it so I can always hear where she is. We picked the collar, a fur mouse, and a leather mouse that rattles out at Paws & Fins pet shop. Her favorite toy is a piece of yarn attached to a stick that my sister Mira made.
We went home after we met her at the shelter to pick up our cat carrier and put a towel in it. Then we drove all the way back and got her. The lady at the desk told us that someone had just called and asked more about Princess Lela, but they hadn't come to adopt her yet. I was glad that we got there in time! My mom wanted to wait until Meow Monday, when we could get her for free. I think that if we'd waited, someone else would have come and adopted her before us. When we went to pick her up, the workers took her out of her cage and put her next to the cat carrier. She went straight in! The workers said "Oh! Look at that! She wants to go home with you! And you are very lucky to have this cat!"
She meowed all the way home. We stopped at Safeway to get cat litter and to go to Paws & Fins. Now she's living in our bedroom for a couple days. She's in there because we want her to get used to our house before she meets the dogs. I hope that she likes the dogs, and that they like her. Right now she's a bit stressed out, and
she's throwing up all over the place. I hope that she feels better soon.I've wanted a cat for a long time, and I'm really happy that I got one.
