Dear friends, meet our new kitty, Nori. She's officially survived the first 24 hours in the Danger house, and she's adjusting fairly well. About as well as can be expected, that is. She's the most affectionate cat, always nudging and loving on every human in sight.
Nori is 5 years old and has been at the Humane Society for 2 years. Why she's been there so long, we don't know. She really is awfully friendly, but we think people probably just want a kitten or they don't like black cats. There's at least 4-5 MORE black cats at the Humane Society.
You're probably wondering how we got our landlord to agree to letting us have a kitty. Well, we convinced him by reminding him that he said he was planning on replacing our carpet when we move anyway. He still seemed iffy about it, and so Ted told him we'd pay a pet deposit equal to a month's rent and get an adult cat that was already litter trained. We didn't even care about the money that much (even though it's ridiculously expensive) we just wanted a cat so bad that we would have done anything to get her.
We thought she'd stay up and cry all night, but she was an angel, only meowing once all night that we heard. Her favorite spot is a cubby hold in our entertainment center, behind one of our storage boxes. She gets scared when we leave, but we always find her there. She's eating and drinking and thank goodness she found her litter box.
Currently we're watching HGTV. I love my kitty.
In other news, I recently went thrifting and found this gem of a chair for a buck:
T and I have been working on it and can't wait to show you the results. We got inspired by Michela's chair makeover. This is our first project, so we may completely mangle it. But, the thing was so ugly we couldn't do much worse that this, now could we? Nope.
Okay, back to my kitty.

Ooh, cool chair! Thanks for the mention, I am looking forward to seeing the results! I love your kitty, she is so cute. We would totally have a cat too (if I wasn't allergic...).
