We're getting a temporary cat! I am really excited about this, and also very nervous. I have never had a pet (save for my parents' little dog before I can really remember much, and fish, and two years of rats). I have also not been around pets much, have never picked up a full-grown cat or dog, and am kind of scared of animals. I also don't think I clean my house enough to clean up after a pet.
With all my apprehensions aside, our mouse issue demands a cat. So my good friend Jen Cromer stepped in, and has been gently but persuasively offering to lend us her mouse-catching cat. She's had to offer quite often to get me to overcome my fears, and I'm so thankful for her persistence, because I really do want and need this.
Sweet Jen even went so far as to offer to bring the cat over, spend time with him to get him used to our house, and come take care of him every day on her lunch break! She really has a servant's heart. I don't need her to clean the litter box (I can do that since I don't have to touch the cat to do it!), but I did take her up on her offer to bring the cat over and teach me how to take care of him.
The more I think of this, the more excited I get. Maybe I'll sleep soundly without hearing mice again! Maybe I'll even discover I like having a cat! Who knows?

Just don't let the cat outside or you may end up with a rabbit in the house instead of just mice!
You'll have to post some pictures so I can scrapbook Max's "vacation". :-D
Careful...you'll get hooked. I've two cats and love them so much.
