A new member of the Tyler household



No No, we did not adopt a baby from Vietnam, Angela and Brad took the last one. Emily finally got a damn cat.
She has been wanting a cat since we starting living together, but when she first moved in Pat and Paul were still living there and we decided that 3 guys, a dog and Emily is enough people in the house. Then once they moved out put the house on the market so she decided to wait until we moved into our new house; but she couldn’t wait.
If you didn’t know, I am not a huge cat fan. I am okay with having a cat in the house, their just no dogs. Winston is sad when I leave and super excited when I come home. He needs attention and if he doesn’t get it, he pouts. He has his own attitude and if you piss him off, he will let you know; he is damn near a human. Now, a cat needs you to feed them, and that is about it. Sorry to piss in your cheerios if you love cats; to each their own, just not for me.
So, Emily brings a kitten home and now we have to pick out a name. We decided to name him Truman, after Harry S. Truman, who is from Missouri and with Winston named after Winston Churchill, we figured having him named after another leader was appropriate.
Now don’t get me wrong, Truman is a cute kitten and it is fun to watch him catch his own tail, but until he gets de-clawed on Tuesday, all I can think about is Truman tearing up the new couches. Truman also loves to play when we are trying to sleep, which is annoying as hell, so he spends his nights in his room (the office). So, once he gets his claws out and he calms down, I think I will grow to love Truman. But right now he is that annoying kid that just never shuts up and constantly has to be watched.
Winston seems to be adjusting to Truman nicely, he has his moments of jealously, but he pouts in his laundry basket for 20 minutes and is over it. When they first met Winston wanted to sniff Truman, and Truman kept hissing and trying to claw at him. Not sure what Truman was thinking, Winston could end him with one little snip, but Truman kept hissing. Over the past week Truman has learned that Winston is not going to eat him and they just ignore each other. Truman will play with Winston’s tail when it is wagging, until Winston gets pissed. I think Winston hates Truman, but knows that he has to put up with him, so he has accepted it and so have I.
