hm, maybe i AM a democrat

I didn’t think it was possible. I’ve been a registered Republican since I was 18. Of course, I haven’t considered myself a Republican in several years, but I didn’t think I’d be a Democrat!

our kitty schrödinger’s cat

My sweet kitty Jack died over a year ago, and I’m still not over his death. As if it was some sick practical joke, my little poopsie Timone died just over a month later. Since then, we have had four new pets in our house, and it is just now that I can begin to write about them. First, I’ll start with Schrödinger.

SchrodieLast summer, only weeks after Timone’s death, Kerri had heard about a kitten that was still available because it was “ugly.” Needless to say, Kerri had to have the ugly kitten, and decided that we should bestow the equally ugly name Schrödinger on it, named after Irish quantum mechanics physicist Erwin Schrödinger and his thought experiment that involves a cat. Well, this little kitten turned out to be beautiful, a tiger with orange throughout. Her fur is split on her head between gray and orange, and if you look at her head-on, it looks like half of her is black-n-white and half of her is in color. She still wears a sweet, shy expression on her face, like the one in this picture when she was a few months old.

However, we soon found out why she was the last in the litter to find a home. She was terribly shy and scared of everything! Kerri was the only one who could hold her (and thus the first one to realize the kitten had fleas!). Schrödie spent much of the first few weeks with us in hiding. Eventually, she came out of hiding and started following Buster around. As she got used to us, she became much more active as well, to the point that we all decided that she was the most hyper kitten we’d ever had! The vet agreed. When she was spayed, and Vin went to pick her up after surgery, the vet’s office had put her in “kitty-time-out” for “fingerpainting with her food” and continually “running into walls!” (Kerri was pleased that we had such a cool cat. I was mortified at her behaviour.)

These days, Schrödie is much calmer, and pretty much an “upstairs” cat. We see her at (her) dinner time and after the dog is in her crate for the night. She’s still shy, and no-one can hold her, let alone give her medicine, but she’s still a cool cat.
