Fuzzy Lunch

About once a year a couple co-workers and I drive to a local animal shelter during our lunch break to play with itty bitty kitties waiting to be adopted. Today was our annual trip and lemme tell you there is no better way to spend lunch hour than snuggling little fuzz balls.

I fell in love with a short-haired grey tabby named Chester. And I think he liked me too. At least, that's the impression I got when he licked my neck and then nibbled on my earring. I nearly melted.

Somehow I managed to keep my wallet in my purse and not adopt anyone. Chester was a member of a litter of five, three of whom were already spoken for. But Chester and his sister Ash were still in need of a loving home. And, the shelter is running a two kittens "fur" the price of one special this month....so I could have taken them both home! But I reminded myself that I already have a houseful. Too bad, as Tai would have squealed with delight at the sight of these two fluffy little ones.
