Typical spoiled California kids!!!! We move to Alaska and my children aren't happy to just have moose roaming the neighborhood, they decide they have to have an indoor pet, a kitten! Well, it wasn't exactly like that, but you get the picture. As of Saturday afternoon, our friendly neighborhood moose now have a kitten to contend with around here. I don't imagine they'll be too threatened though, after all, she is an indoor cat.
Logan has desperately been wanting a cat for a number of years. Prior to our move, Eric had finally caved and came to terms with the fact that he was going to have to give in on the whole cat "thing". As luck would have it, the local vet had a sign out last weekend advertising "kitties for adoption". In a moment of weakness, Eric agreed to go with us to check them out. Logan had no idea where we were going or why. When we got to the vet we were told they didn't have any more kitties. At that point, how could we disappoint our baby, right? We ended up at the animal shelter where Logan picked out the most adorable and unique kitten in the shelter.
After some hard lobbying and much family debate, the kitten's name is ......drum roll please.......Guiness! My children are all too proud to tell anyone who is willing to listen that "she is named after the beer". I couldn't resist, I like uncommon names and she is black and tan! The name also fits her because just as one might do in a drunken stuppor, much to my horror and to Kaiden's sheer fascination, she has already done a bonzai off of our balcony onto the carpeted floor below! Kaiden is a MythBusters officianado and is certain that cats always land on their feet, so even if she were to do it again she'd be o.k. Hopefully it won't happen again and we'll never find out from first hand experience if the myth is busted or confirmed.
