I drive a lot. I used to smoke. I don't have any pets. My last cat died recently. I am about to get a new cat. The cat is a 2-year-old feisty orange tabby. I want to name the cat Peanut Butter or Chicken Nugget. I haven't decided it. I've only had cats as pets.
I like Tacos. I like watching movies on a Sunday. I scream out loud when having a nightmare. I have a cat called Wiggles. I dangle toys in front of my cat. I like Folk Music. I don't like Italian food. I used to have a dog.
I got the cat from the shelter. I decided to name her Nugget! That's a great name for a cat. What made you decide on Nugget over Peanut Butter? How is the cat doing so far? is the cat adjusting to your house? I chose Nugget since she's orange which is sort of the same color, plus its just fun to call her my little Nugget. She's doing ok, first day she was scared! She hid a bit. But right now she's curled up on my couch so, good progress! Yeah. When I first got Wiggles he took a while to warm up to both me and the house. Now I can't imagine my life without Wiggles. Did you buy any toys for Nugget? If you need cat toys, I have a ton that Wiggles no longer likes. I got a small bag of cat toys, just those sort of generic ones with the bells that cats bat around. I don't want to overstimulate her too much. But in the future I might take you up on that offer! That's a good way to start. It normally doesn't make sense to get more premium cat toys until you know what types of toys the cat does and doesn't like. Have you taken Nugget to the Vet for a checkup yet? Yea thats a great point about the toys. Nugget hasn't seen the vet yet. Since I got her from the shelter, she has most of her shots. I think I'll do a checkup in 3-6 months to make sure everything is going good with her. Hopefully there's nothing wrong. I'd also recommend getting pet insurance. In case anything goes wrong, it can really save you a lot. My last cat had a lot of problems toward the end of her life, but pet insurance saved us 90% of the fees each visit. Oh wow yea thats a good point about the insurance, I hadn't even really considered it. Pets can be really expensive, but I think it's worth it in the end.  Yeah. And then you won't have to worry about being put in the difficult decision of saving your pets life or having to spend a lot of money. That's definitely a spot I didn't want to be put in. Wow yea, excellent point. I would hate to be in that spot too. I'll be looking at pet insurance very soon! It's funny how it feels both strange and familiar to have a new cat in the house. I guess both Nugget and I have some adjusting to do.
