Day 2 of classes...

I'm so tired right now that I can barely keep my eyes open. My mom found a kitten yesterday because he was mewing loudly in the landscaping over in our neighbors' yard. He's (unfortunately) a boy kitty, so we're not able to keep him because Salem would definately hate us until the end of his days and I don't think the kitten'd be too happy about the arrangement, either. So, Mom and I are going to "nurse him" and keep him healthy until he's old enough to be adopted, and then we're going to find him a good home. We may have a potential home already, but we have to talk to the kids' mom and see if she'll let them have him. I even told Mom to let her know that I'd offer to pay to have him neutered so that he doesn't create more little stray kittens that I have to adopt and play "mommy" for.

But, until we find him a home, he's going to be my bunk mate. Last night was horrible for me as far as sleep goes because I kept waking up because I was afraid I had rolled over him and squished him. And, at one point, he woke me up because he was purring by my face and kept touching me with his cold, wet nose. All of this didn't leave much time for sleeping. Today is my long day, too. I'm on campus from 9 am to about 7:30 pm. And since I don't have much sleep, my experience in my evening class could be interesting.

But, while we have "Kitty" here, maybe Dad will warm up to the idea of having another cat and I'll be able to adopt my little calico kitty...? Jake and I have already decided to bring her over some day this week (possibly tomorrow) to see how everyone reacts to her. I have a feeling that I know how the other 2 cats will be, but I mostly want to see Dad's reaction. Maybe there's still hope?!
