Well. We are getting kittens.
It was a bright, boring Sunday morning when it happened. I saw an ad for a siamese kitten and thought to myself. I need this in my life.
First, it started it out as a joke. I asked my mom-in-law if we could get one and she (not jokingly) said if you clean after it and take care of it, itâs not a problem. So that got my nogginâ goinâ.
Second, my boyfriend/future fiancee/husband in training has been asking if we can get a cat in our new place for months so I knew I had his green light.
Whatâs a bored girl to do on a boring, Sunday morning?
Well, she asked her boyfriendâs brother to take her to see the kitten of course (because she doesnât drive yet) aha.
So we went. And oh lordy lord. There were 3 kittens. 2 Flame points, both male and a cute girlie girl Blue point <3
The owner told us that they werenât ready yet. They still had 2-3 weeks to go to be completely weaned off. That broke my heart a bit, I was going home without a kitten. But then it was okai, because itâs best to take them when theyâre prepared more than anything.
Somehow, a week later, and I canât stress enough how crazy this is, we decided to get two. Yes, two little kittens. A male Flame point and a female Blue point. Oh boyeee.
So we went back home, and spent the rest of the now-not-so-boring Sunday googling about these kitties. Searching for their habits, what they like, donât like etc.
I read somewhere that theyâre the feline equivalent of dogs, and thatâs perfect. Because, although Iâm an introvert and love spending time indoors, reading, cooking, relishing peace, I must admit I do get lonely at times (the boyfâs a chef and I work in an office - Iâm alone. A. Lot) So while we canât make any inconvenient noise in our new apartment, Iâm sure 2 kitties keeping me and each other company when theyâre alone, wonât be that much of a problem.
The next Wednesday after I saw them for the first time, me and the boyf (His name is Karl <3) went kitten shopping. We bought; dry food, some treats, cat milk, wet food, collars, a brush, a claw trimmer, 3 bowls, some toys and oh man it felt so amazing. Buying things for something weâre going to take care of together. I missed it. We had a Maltese dog called Muffin, and long story short, we had to give her up and that was last November and it was extremely painful for me.
I know Iâve added work for myself because for now at least Iâll be their main care giver, but Iâm sure all my love and affection towards these babies will be reciprocated and that makes it more than worth it for me.
I spent the better part of 3 days trying to come up with suitable names for them. It was decided that I was to name the male kitty and Karl would name the female kitty. So after much deliberation, contemplating and seeking inspiration: I decided on *drum roll* ROWAN. Yes. I love the name Rowan, itâs a tree and I love trees and its meaning is little red-haired one and seeing that the male kitty is a Flame point Siamese, heâll have little tufts of red on his nose, paws, ears and tail so I think itâs pretty perfect. Karl, the dear, was helped (lol) into choosing the name LUNA. Which is also perfect, because sheâs a Blue point Siamese and sheâll have the majority of her coat a nice light grey with tufts of dark grey on her nose, paws, ears and tail. And oh those lovely cerulean eyes. Theyâll both have deep blue, fall-in-love-with-me eyes. I simply cannot wait.
We prepared a little countdown. Our babies will join us on the 27th of July at approx. 15:00 GMT +1 time. They were born on the 10th of June 2019. Aaaa.
