Early Christmas Present

Okay I have a retraction to write, after our last cat T.T. passed away from cancer I said that we would never have a cat again, for more then one reason, expense, vet bills, and litter box. Well guess what we got for Xmas
Her name is Cali, she is a Mexican cat lol well to say she came from Mexico, you see a friend of mine who comes home for summer and spends her winters at Mexico came home with her on her last trip and she asked if we would like to keep her because she didn't want to make her travel back if she didn't have to and of course after meeting her and having her come for a day visit to see how she does here we decided to add her to our family. M was a bit worried about her bonding with my hubby, I think it went well considering she slept with him on the floor for a nap the next day, she follows him around as well as me and talks and talks and talks lol. I have to say I am very happy to have her with us, I forgot what it is like to have a cat around, I have to learn all this stuff again like how to walk so I don't step on her, hid my treats so she can't chew on the bags, find a place for the litter so it is not in the hallway, there is nothing worse then getting out of a shower and walking across a littered floor, yuck, but most of all I forgot what it is like to have a kitten, she is only a year and her play time is at 3am, hubby sleeps through her stomping around and chasing her toys I have no idea how. Oh and of course there is the fact that she can get to places that I didn't think she would, like the top of my office wall, there is about a two feet gap from wall to ceiling and she managed to jump up there, her favorite spot is above the closet  lol  I don't mind keeps her busy and off my key board. I haven't let her meet the birds or the rabbit's as of yet, think we will put that off for as long as I can, so far she sits outside the door and just listens but I think she will be very excited to see the birds. She is an indoor cat but next summer I think I will let her in the back yard if I am there to watch. As for the rest of what is going on here, I am struggling with my anxiety but seem to have more good days then bad so very happy about that. We still don't have any snow it tried but didn't last, was hoping to have a white Xmas, sure hope it snows soon or we will not have any water for our gardens next summer plus we need it to get cold to kill off the bugs, I have put it out to the universe and mother nature to get off there butt's so we will see, even if it just stays for a couple weeks that would be great, will keep my fingers crossed.....
