Well. We are getting kittens.

It was a bright, boring Sunday morning when it happened. I saw an ad for a siamese kitten and thought to myself. I need this in my life.

First, it started it out as a joke. I asked my mom-in-law if we could get one and she (not jokingly) said if you clean after it and take care of it, it’s not a problem. So that got my noggin’ goin’.

Second, my boyfriend/future fiancee/husband in training has been asking if we can get a cat in our new place for months so I knew I had his green light.

What’s a bored girl to do on a boring, Sunday morning?

Well, she asked her boyfriend’s brother to take her to see the kitten of course (because she doesn’t drive yet) aha.

So we went. And oh lordy lord. There were 3 kittens. 2 Flame points, both male and a cute girlie girl Blue point <3

The owner told us that they weren’t ready yet. They still had 2-3 weeks to go to be completely weaned off. That broke my heart a bit, I was going home without a kitten. But then it was okai, because it’s best to take  them when they’re prepared more than anything.

Somehow, a week later, and I can’t stress enough how crazy this is, we decided to get two. Yes, two little kittens. A male Flame point and a female Blue point. Oh boyeee.

So we went back home, and spent the rest of the now-not-so-boring Sunday googling about these kitties. Searching for their habits, what they like, don’t like etc.

I read somewhere that they’re the feline equivalent of dogs, and that’s perfect. Because, although I’m an introvert and love spending time indoors, reading, cooking, relishing peace, I must admit I do get lonely at times (the boyf’s a chef and I work in an office - I’m alone. A. Lot) So while we can’t make any inconvenient noise in our new apartment, I’m sure 2 kitties keeping me and each other company when they’re alone, won’t be that much of a problem.

The next Wednesday after I saw them for the first time, me and the boyf (His name is Karl <3) went kitten shopping. We bought; dry food, some treats, cat milk, wet food, collars, a brush, a claw trimmer, 3 bowls, some toys and oh man it felt so amazing. Buying things for something we’re going to take care of together. I missed it. We had a Maltese dog called Muffin, and long story short, we had to give her up and that was last November and it was extremely painful for me.

I know I’ve added work for myself because for now at least I’ll be their main care giver, but I’m sure all my love and affection towards these babies will be reciprocated and that makes it more than worth it for me.

I spent the better part of 3 days trying to come up with suitable names for them. It was decided that I was to name the male kitty and Karl would name the female kitty. So after much deliberation, contemplating and seeking inspiration: I decided on *drum roll* ROWAN. Yes. I love the name Rowan, it’s a tree and I love trees and its meaning is little red-haired one and seeing that the male kitty is a Flame point Siamese, he’ll have little tufts of red on his nose, paws, ears  and tail so I think it’s pretty perfect. Karl, the dear, was helped (lol) into choosing the name LUNA. Which is also perfect, because she’s a Blue point Siamese and she’ll have the majority of her coat a nice light grey with tufts of dark grey on her nose, paws, ears and tail. And oh those lovely cerulean eyes. They’ll both have deep blue, fall-in-love-with-me eyes. I simply cannot wait.

We prepared a little countdown. Our babies will join us on the 27th of July at approx. 15:00 GMT +1 time. They were born on the 10th of June 2019. Aaaa.

Kitties come to me Q~Q
