New adventure! We got a kitty! Her name is Simone and, as the blog post title indicates, she’s perfect. 🙂 My SAT (self-appointed trainer) and I both like animals and have been talking about adopting a cat for a while now. I learned about Simone at work: my coworker and her sister rescued a little kitty in their neighborhood and fostered her for the past month or so. (They think she was abandoned.) They initially thought the kitty was a boy, so they named him “Simon.” When they took Simon to the vet, they learned that he is a she and rename her “Simone.” The vet also told them that Simone is about 2 years old and is a blue point Siamese. My SAT and I met Simone almost 2 weeks ago and picked her up this past Sunday. We’re head over heels for her. 

Simone is a pretty kitty, if I do say so myself, and has been revealing an inquisitive, affectionate nature. She’s shy and skittish now, but I hope that over time, she’ll get used to loud, unexpected sounds, like the doorbell or the garage door opening and closing. I love it when she head-butts me, demanding attention, and when she purrs because that is one of the best sounds ever.

Side benefit of having a kitty? We’re cleaning our floors more! (Note to self: get lint rollers.) Drawback of having a kitty? How am I supposed to leave her all day to do all-day hikes and bikes??
