Last week I talked about my visit to the Animal Protective League here in Cleveland and mentioned my family was going to adopt a cat.
Well, we went down on Saturday afternoon and adopted Lily (her name was Carrie but since she was a stray, we figured it was just a placeholder until we could think of her real name).
She is the sweetest thing you ever did pet - very petite and loving - and didn't even flinch when Ellie and her friend Emily squealed at her as most 2 year olds do (under adult supervision of course). She's sitting on my lap purring up a storm right now, which is quite the change from Barnes sitting on my lap as he's 14 pounds and Lily is less than 4!
Tomorrow, I'll write more on the process of adoption for those of you wondering about it. I'm a newby to adopting any animal (Simon and Barnes came from a friend) except for when I was little but I wasn't involved in the process so much back then.
