It's Rico Time!


Hello again....it's been about 2.5 months since my last entry and I'm now trying to get back on my blogging bandwagon....

Chris and I have a new addition to our family! No, not a dog....no, not a new car....no not a baby! In late April, we welcomed little kitten Rico into our home, our life, our hearts. We have a cat!

The cat battle has been raging in our home for years now. Chris loves animals, and he always wanted a cat. I saw cats as aloof and a bit condescending....a kitten also scratched my tights in nursery school and branded me anti-cats for life...or so I thought.

To make a long story short, Chris upped the anti of his kitten quest by bombarding me with pictures of cute kittens that needed homes. Emily and Becky from work both told stories about the adorable antics of their cats and encouraged me to take the plunge. And finally one fateful day in April, Chris and I came across an ad for Rico and 1.5 hours later he was ours....a scared, inquisitive little bundle of fluff!

Suffice to say, I've now been converted. Rico is our baby, our buddy, our tyrant and our friend - he's one of the little things in life that has proved pretty big. He's a friendly little fellow with a slight penchant for biting but a lot of love for all that cross his path...except for perhaps other cats, which he's still getting used to. I'm posting some pictures of him on this blog, and am sure he will feature in some of my future stories, as he's now a feature of my life.

If you've been waiting to see the little guy, finally, here he is!!
