NWR: I adopted a cat last night
Last night I drove to MD to adopt a kitten in need. It's the kind of cat we've been looking for for a while, a Siberian (they are hypo allergenic and my husband is allergic) so it was totally worth driving to Baltimore for him 
We have a pet dog, Oscar, who is absolutely insane.. So we get the kitten home and put him in the guest room to get him adjusted slowly without throwing him straight into Oscars face. Oscar comes inside and smells there is a kitten in the house and absolutely goes NUTS. They say keep the kitten in a room and let the dog and kitten smell each other through the door for a few days and slowly introduce them for a few minutes each day with the dog on a leash. We tried today to introduce them from a distance, but kitty panicked and Oscar went nuts as usual. So it'll be a little while before we let them meet again. Meanwhile, today I feel like the mother of 2 toddlers.. I got NO sleep because I had to keep telling Oscar to lay down and stop whining (he was pacing all night knowing there was a cat in the room down the hall) and meanwhile the cat is VERY vocal and meows a lot. I've been alternating who is allowed out at a time, which is fun... Oscar goes outside for a bit if it's not raining, kitten comes downstairs with me, Oscar comes back in, kitten goes back in guest room. Can't wait till my husband comes home to help me out here! LOL. This is great practice for handling two fighting toddlers one day. I've had cats and dogs my whole life, so I know after a few days of the hecticness they will adjust and eventually become good friends, but the next few days we are sure in for some interesting times!
