So, now I'm picturing a crazy cat lady - not that I think you're that! But that's what everyone jumps to when they hear that, right? Either that, or I'm just being really, really rude and should probably shut up.
Sorry - I tend to run my mouth off when I'm feeling a little thrown. Which I am right now. And a little embarrassed, especially since I just told someone that I could handle this whole 'getting a pet' thing myself. And now I feel like I have to spend the next three days surgically attached to Google reading everything there is about cat ownership to find out what the best thing to do is.
Which I should probably do anyway. Responsible pet ownership, right? And if I'm going to do something, I want to do it well. I tend not to ever do anything by halves.
