It was a family gathering. All us kids were outside playing. About an hour passed, and we were tired. As we headed inside, I thought I saw something moving behind the rose bushes. I decided to check it out and Mia and my cousin Joe followed.It was a kitten. He was orange, and very small. He seemed to like us and he let me pick him up. I wanted to show my dad. Maybe he would let us keep him. We knocked on the door, and Uncle Goose answered. We showed him the cat. He told us that it was probably a stray, because it didn't have a collar. We checked around the neighborhood, but Nobody seemed to know who the cat belonged to. We went back to the house. The little kids wanted to pet the cat, so I put him down on the porch. The cat wanted to get inside, and he crouched near the door. Every time the door opened, he would stand up and try to squeeze in. I told my uncle to keep the door cracked, but he opened it too far, and the cat dashed in.
I yelled. "There's a cat in the house!" The cat made his way into the kitchen. Pandemonium proceeded. Mom went ballistic. She hates cats, or anything with fur. Amidst the chasing and screaming, the cat didn't want to stick around. My dad was not happy. So I guess, no kitty for me.
My mom says we can’t get a cat right now, but maybe in a few years. When I first heard that, I was very excited. Then she added, “...when you start college.”

Yeah cats are cool. But they can be a lot of trouble and worry. Wasatch liked our 2 cats, especially Angel. We often found Angel curled up sleeping with him on the porch.
Do you remember how Angel would go out on the porch at our SL house and climb the tree and walk around on the roof?
If you ever convince your parents, Uncle Jeff would be more than willing to part with any of our pets. :-) You can choose from a fat orange/white cat, a sleek black cat, or a black/brown/white dog.
Great job on your blog!
