As some of you will know, I got a new kitten recently...even though people told me not to, and I've never actually had a pet of my own before.
So...a delightful bright spark came up with idea that to stop me going mad I should write a blog entry about the kitten to help keep my thoughts in order.
Here is the first one.
Despite being advertised as 'litter trained' I woke up this morning to find that one again Grey the kitten had gone for a crap on the floor. What's stupid is he also went in his litter tray which is on the second level of the house! Luckily I thought to put newspaper down, but annoyingly he went both on the newspaper and on the carpet! He's either idiotic or spiteful! Grrrr...
While I assumed having a kitten would be hard work, I never thought I'd come face to face with an animal that was even needier than I am. I am flabbergasted!
He still cries a LOT (we've only had him a few days) and I get the sneaking suspicion my housemates want to kill me for getting him - he, naturally, is a lot cuter than I am and will escape their wrath.
I've met many cats but he's the first one that's pretty much needed cuddles ALL THE BLOODY TIME.
But on his 'pros' side....he's finally got used to the sound of the outside world through my open window. He is very cute. And despite the fact he's lying right where I want to put my book and/or keyboard so I can do my work he's finally stopped kneading my leg and has gone to sleep and is making a lovely warm patch on my legs. He also just sighed which was very cute.
He's also currently being very quiet, as when we first got him a few days ago he only had two modes: cry loudly or purr loudly.
I've already started regretting getting him and I'm getting worried that I won't be able to look after him properly if I get the job I'm applying for which is a 10 hour night shift.
---Though just spoke to a housemate who got back in from work and she's said if I sell him she'll hate me forever. So it would seem I have to keep him. Damn his tiny annoying but cute self!
Everyone else keeps reassuring me that I'm being a drama queen and he will settle down (and they've all had kittens so I know I SHOULD believe them...but can't help the overwhelming feeling that he's a big mistake.)
God help me if I ever get pregnant. Lol.
