I have a new kitten! Erik and I adopted her on Saturday from Feline Friends. They are a non-profit organization that operates with the help of volunteers. They are helping Dubai with the stray cat problem which is a big issue, so feline Friends says. A woman at Feline Friends said to me that one major reason Dubai has a stray cat problem is because pet stores breed pure-breeds to sell in their stores, while there are many other stray cats that need homes. Now, I don't think the pet stores would be breeding these pure-breeds if there weren't a demand for them. The people who buy those pure-breeds probably wouldn't want a "mutt" cat, whether there is a stray cat problem or not. So, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I'll get back to you on this one if I find out more.

Her name is Sheba. She is 8 months old. She is very inquisitive, and always getting into things and making us laugh. Erik likes to think that she is smart, and that's why she's so curious. I am hoping it's not the exact opposite. I mean, she did run across the living room into the solid side of a cardboard box... twice... in quick succession. She's very hyper, but she's a kitten still so it is expected. She purrs a lot and loves to have her belly rubbed. Someone at the shelter almost got her before I swooped in and called her my own. Now I'm happy she is here!
