cats and scrapbooking!

OMG I had such a good weekend! yippie!

Ok for starters, I got paid on Friday. YES! I love getting paid. Secondly, I got to catch up on my scrapbooking, and thirdly, I got to hang out with the stray kitty!

Ok, first scrapbooking. I've been scrapbooking for about 5-6 years now. I love it. I've gotten so good that other people have actually paid me to do thier scrapbooking. Well, I've been bad with all the craziness I had over the summer from moving apartments, but I finally got a page done! I scrapped the kool and the gang concert I went to last January, and it turned out amazing. I was inspired by some guitar paper that I had found at the scrapbook store while trying to layout another page (which never got done) and instead, I did my concert page. 1 page down, a bazillon more to go!

Ok, now onto the stray kitty. I should preface this by saying I am a HUGE pet person. I support the humane society, and try to give back when I can. Animals cannot always speak for themselves, and rely off humans for care. So, when I saw some stray kitties running around my complex, I immediately thought "what can I do to help this situation?" I know that not all the kitties want to get caught. Secondly, I live in a one bedroom...I just don't have that kind of room.

So, last month, when I noticed these cats running around, I decided to go out and buy a cheap bag of cat food. The very least I could do would be at least to let them eat...even if they never get caught. The cats deserve to eat. So I started leaving food out at night, and when I would leave for work in the morning, it would be gone. So, cats are eating, which is good.

Well, I befriended one of the strays. He is a cute little orange kitty. I can tell he was a former house pet for two reasons. First, he is extremely friendly with me and other people, and secondly, he's declawed! Well, this was the only cat that would actually greet me and beg for food. So, I let this kitty come inside and eat. I love it. Its so nice to spend time with an animal, and he so so grateful! But, at night, I send him on his way to be with his friends, as I know thats what he wants..plus him circling by the door is also another signal!
