We adopted a cat while living in Canada last year. We had wanted to get an animal for our home and with the mice population being quite high in Esperanza we thought a cat was a wonderful idea. And he did prove his worth in that department...I just wish he had chosen to leave them somewhere other than our front step.
When we were finally on our way home to Arizona we truly wondered how well our new family member would adapt to a different way of life. And could he travel in our vehicle without vomiting or crying? Thankfully he could. Though there may be a few more marks on the dashboard from him trying to leap onto the dash and missing. Poor Kelly.
He is a happily adjusted cat now who loves sleeping on our bed, sleeping on our (sorry his) red chair, and playing outside in the dirt. Lately though I have been growing concerned with his lack of cat like skills. We have recently put a bird feeder up in our tree which I thought would be a great joy for our cat. And let me tell you the birds have come! But instead of our cat being diligent in chasing them away I seem to see him scurrying away from them as they chirp and fly at him.
