My Fashionista friend brought over a very cute black and white kitten for me today. I took her straight to the bathroom for her "safety room" so she can get adjusted and get a vet visit in. Gryffin went from "hey what's going on" to "HEY! WHAT THE HELL.IS.GOING.ON". Needless to say, he went from a confused/curious to pissed. Very quickly. He bit me when I picked him up (he never does that-shows you the degree of angry he is currently occupying) which is usually his favorite thing ever. Right now he's on the other couch glaring at me. He's spent the majority of the day outside the bathroom staring down the door. When I'm in the bathroom playing/bonding with kitten (to be later named. I think she's a girl so suggestions welcome!) he sits outside and occasionally growls. It's actually really funny to me. What was even funnier was when my parents got home. the kitten heard my dad and started growling herself. Priceless!
So I'm doing the introductions slowly. I can't really put them in the same room until vet on Tuesday (kitten appears to have tapeworms. Don't want Gryffin getting it). So hopefully he'll get used to the idea/smells by then. Kitten seems to be doing just fine. She's a little skiddish, but took to the litter pan immediately (yay!) and to her food bowl. She doesn't like toys too much-she prefers fingers. And she's gotten close to meeting the squirt bottle as she likes to attack and bite legs.
So that's the newest and most exciting thing. Thanksgiving went well in a very crowded way. I got to talk to my cousin's brother in law for a while. We talked on healthcare and the justification of the FDA. It was good, I didn't get overstimulated with all the company. Now I'm just really enjoying my break before 3 straight weeks of house medicine. Not entirely looking forward to it. I'm apprehensive about my partner. I woudln't be surprised if I end up going in early monday morning because he won't want to use the "our break officially ends at 8 am" cop-out. Ugh.
I'll have to post pics as soon as I get them. I'm sure the cat drama will be occupying my time for the next few days. Poor Gryffin-I realize his world has been turned upside down. As well as my official declaration that yes, yes I am now the cat lady.

1. I like that I'm the "Fashionista" friend. Ha ha.
2. Sorry kitty has tapeworms - yuck! I swear I didn't know.
3. Maybe Gryffin will soon realize that arranged marriages aren't SO bad. I mean, at least she's a younger lady, right?
oh, no worries. Gryffin had tapeworms as a baby too. we have an appt tues for shots and a de-worming so no worries. I think he's coming around to the idea. He's now taken to guarding the bathroom door and sticking his face/paws underneath. Hopefully curiosity will get the best of him and by tues he'll be willing to play nice.
