I know, I know. I've already posted today. But this is much more exciting than potty training my 2 year old.
We seem to have acquired a cat.
It showed up this morning and was really affectionate with the kids. He looked really hungry and he wasn't wearing a collar, so we decided to feed him some lunchmeat from the fridge. I wanted to call him Schroedinger, but Dylan decided he looks more like a Patches.
He came back at lunch time for some more food and a few cuddles.
He also came back at dinner time for some more of the same.
So after we finished our dinner, the kids and I went to Lidl and bought some cat food.
Just now, when I put the kids to bed, Patches wandered into their bedroom and said a quick goodnight.
I am so torn. I'd love the kids to have a pet, and I have always preferred cats to dogs. But our stay here isn't permanent, and I don't want them to get attached. Plus, I don't want an inside pet (purely for allergy reasons). But the kids both LOVE him, and they are having such a good time playing with him and watching him. And Patches is a really good-natured and affectionate cat--very good with the kids.
It was nice to have someone to talk to once the kids were in bed, too.
