Kittens and Mochi
Today I drove all around 2 counties with Brian and Jessa on their quest
to find 2 nice young cats to share their home with. We visited a
"Rescue Kittens" place, and 3 animal shelters. They're going back
to one of the shelters tomorrow to meet more cats, as we arrived
somewhat close to closing. I enjoyed playing with the cats a lot,
although I tried not to get too attached to any of them since I can't
get a cat for at least 2 months (this place charges pet rent), and
maybe not even after that (a lot of apartments say "no pets").
I have to say though, that I think I'm a one cat girl. 2 cats at
once seems like something only a veteran cat person should take on,
since you can't always count on pre-paired cats. This whole
notion of having to select cats who will get along with other cats is
an extra complication. But Jessa is a veteran, so she'll
definitely be able to manage. I just hope they find cats that
they fall in love with! Me, I'll take anything with an appealing
face, a friendly manner, and a good purr. But then, I am
desperate. They're looking for cats to grow old with, and they
have enough experience to not fall for the first purr that comes
along. I really hope that I can have a cat one day and not just
be the auntie that comes over when Brian and Jessa are too tired to
play anymore.
In completely unrelated news, I
finally went to the Asian Market (yes, it's really called that) that
both Brian and Jessa AND Andrea have told me about. I went
yesterday. I got so many nummy things, including proper mochi,
ochasuke mix, powdered miso soup mix, tonkatsu sauce, Calpico, pan-ko
(for tonkatsu breading), more ramen, and the knowledge that I can go
back for udon, natto, sake, real miso (for making my own soup at some
point), and the baby mayonaise. Blackfoot knows what I'm talkin
about.
I am relieved that there is a place that I can go for these
things. I'm a little sad that the store isn't bigger - it's a
hole in the wall joint, with only 2 aisles - but some of these things
are things that I have missed for a long time. Of course, if I
over indulge, I will REALLY have to go to the gym. Especially
after too many mochi, which are like lead. Tasty tasty lead.
