me! i keep a clowder of cats. that's the actual official term for a grouping of cats, it sounds much too cute doesn't it?
originally i just had one orange long hair manx cross. then a boss of mine wanted to give her cat to the spca when she was 7 months old. i, wanting a kitty friend for my kitty, decided to adopt her. then a couple years later i was asked to babysit a couple of older cats for some friends who do archaeological work in greece/italy for a few months of the year. when they dropped the cats off they let me know they were intending to move to europe to pursue higher education in their field, so they wouldn't be taking the cats back. but they said they would try once more to find suitable homes for them, and if anyone responsible i knew fell in love with them, they may have them. i found no one suitable and ended up keeping them. but i mean, if anyone did end up loving them, the idea was not to be heartbroken over letting one of the two go. i first started looking after them in may 2010, so i would be heartbroken to see them go. for now i'm kind of holding out for misslady to finish her phd and return (ahahaha), and then i would have kept her kitties safe and warm in her absence.
so ya. i am a vaper, and kind of a cat shepherd.
