Meet Sabrina

61. Own a pet.

I am a dog person.  I have always said that I would never get a cat.  Recently, however, that changed.  For the past year, I have been toying with the idea of getting a cat.  When one of my co-workers mentioned that her son had three kittens to give away, I seized the opportunity.

I was able to take Sabrina home on Sunday, December 14.  I was very nervous when I carried her inside my apartment in my cat carrier.  I grew up with dogs.  My family has never had a cat before, so I had no idea what to expect.   When I let Sabrina out of the carrier, she instantly went underneath my recliner.  I immediately panicked and tried to get her out.   It didn't occur to me that this is normal cat behavior until I discussed it with a friend of mine.

Once I was finally able to coax her out from under the chair, it was time to play.  She is particularly fond of this little turtle.

 Soon after playing, Sabrina curled up in her red bed and was out like a light.  Did I mention that this kitten is already spoiled?  She has four toys, two beds, a scratching post, and a cat carrier to keep her busy.  What does she enjoy playing with the most?  My bed skirt.  She hasn't torn it to shreds yet.  I have a feeling that may soon change.

I have had Sabrina for 24 hours now.  We have definitely bonded.  She is sitting on my lap as I type this.  Earlier, she enjoyed walking across the keyboard.

Isn't this little face adorable?  

Okay, I'm done with the kitten pictures now.  I think I am officially a cat person.
