The Family Christmas Present

Greg and I have been talking for a while about getting a cat. Don't really know why we need a cat since we have two huge Weimaraners and possibly about 7-8 puppies that may be with us for a while if Greta is pregnant. Anyway, Greg has actually been wanting a Toger which is a mini tiger...... I don't think so. But, he decided a regular cat would be just fine.

We went to a pet store on Tuesday to see if they had any cats. We had actually considered selling them a weimaraner puppy when we bred for the first time, but the puppy was way too big for their kennels. Anyway, they had 3 cats which were actually stray! Greg decided he did not want them to make $20 off a stray. We drove over to Petco just to see if they sold animals. We talked with a worker who was on her way to work and she told us they work with the Humane Society and if we bring the paperwork, they would give us a coupon book. The Humane Society had several cats and dogs to choose from. We immediately knew Jackson was the cat for us. He was very friendly and was not asleep in his litter box. An employee had made a mistake and listed him as a female. As Greg was about to fill out the paperwork, he decided to look the cat over and noticed the difference. He asked the man behind the desk to double check. It was confirmed that Jackson was a boy. He has done extremely well in our home. He loves to cuddle and follows us around like a dog. He has not met Fritz and Greta. We will wait until the backyard dries up and they are allowed back in the house. Of course, they will have their fully charged shock collars on the highest setting when they meet the newest member of the family. I hope it goes OK.
