Nick and I have a new addition to our little family…

Meet Gidget!

Gidget showed up on the doorstep of our friends, Erica and Alan, on Halloween night. They actually live on the 3rd story of an apartment building that neighbors ours and this cat had come up their back fire-escape stairs. being an animal-lover, Erica took her in. However, they already have two cats so they couldn’t keep her.

I’ve been wanting a cat for a while, but Nick was hesitant. He had good reason: I’m usually somewhat allergic to cats. Somehow, though, the only hypoallergenic cat in the world showed up that night! For some reason, though most cats make me sneeze and make my eyes water, Gidget doesn’t bother me one bit. Her owners haven’t turned up, so Nick and I have decided too keep her.

Gracie and Gidget get along fairly well.  Gidget was very afraid of her at first.  Grace just wanted to play, but can be a bit overzealous at times.  Now that Gidgy is used to her though, she loves to tease and harass Grace.  It’s actually kind of hilarious.

So Nick and I have a pretty full household now: a dog, a cat, two ferrets, three fish, and a hermit crab.  I think we’re going to need a bigger place!
