My future cat is in the living room.

So by now it's pretty obvious I want lots of my own pets someday. Well, what better time to start then now! I would like you all to meet Lacy. My new little black and white short hair female 8 month old kitten.

Right now I literally have about $0.00 to my name. This happened because for some reason it takes over a week for some transactions to pend, so I thought I had more money than I did. Actually, I think I'll go check on that now...

Phew! All that's left to pend is a couple Subway things, not a big deal! So I actually have a little over $100. Thing is, I looked at how much I've spent since January of this year and it's over $700! Even though some of it was necessary (certain over the counter meds, lunch, Lacy...) most of it was probably not... being a 19 year old girl one of my weaknesses is cloths! Especially at great prices. Goodwill and other thrift stores make it hard. Oh yeah, I forgot about Wasabi, an anime convention I went to so that's probably part of it. But still... I could do for some saving up (and a little more self control >_>). 

But anyway! This is about my little darling. Lacy is very sweet, loves people, playful, doesn't mind callers or harnesses, seems pretty trainable, is very soft and will cuddle with you all day! (If she can find the time).

She's just an all around great cat! Peppy and Peanut aren't to happy about it, but they'll get used to her! She's going to be with me for the next 15 years and hopefully more! I'll probably be past my first apartment and into my first home by then hopefully, and I'll have my little black and white kitty baby with me the whole time! 

My other future pets include: 

A white Standard Poodle

If I ever have a dog, it has to be hypoallergenic or else my wind pipe will close up every day! ^_^ Well, Poodles just so happen to be hypoallergenic and  I think they're adorable! (If you don't clip them all ugly). However, Matthew thinks they're ugly (weirdo) and so he says he'll settle for a Labradoodle. But, they're just not as cute as Poodles. We do agree though, that we want a female dog because seeing a penis hanging down just takes away from their beauty, lolz. 

A Ball Python

I LOVE snakes. And I found out that besides running up the bills with their heat lamps, they're pretty inexpensive to have. The adults only eat like once a month. I've always been crazy about reptiles. I even want to be a Paleontologist! Not that that's ever going to happen. But still, I can have modern day reptiles! And these Pythons don't even get very big, only about 5 feet :) 

Guinea Pigs

These aren't something I care about really having. Actually, they'll be more Matthew's pets than mine. I won't be feeding or cleaning the cage like I will be with my snakie. And I won't be happy if they smell up the studio apartment we're hoping to have within a year or close to that time frame. These are not something I would ever want for myself. But they sure are cute little things!!

Then there are animals I would like to have just so I don't have to support the horrors of the meat industry.

Mini cows

All the deliciousness without the size!

Chickens

Sorry guys, no escaping the pot pies with me!

Piggies

Although I would like to have every animal in this picture, I'll take the piggies for the beacon and the reasonableness, lolz.

I think living on a small private farm would be cool, but I HATED feeding the horses in the winter, and with the children I assume I'll have by then I'm afraid I won't have a moment to myself. Husband would have to work a lot to support all of us, though we could sell meat and vegetables. Yeah, we can live near a farmers market and I'll grow and sell stuff the other farmers don't have! 

This is the type of life I figured I'd hate having, and maybe I would. Maybe I'm more into the idea of having a small farm than actually having one, but you never know. I figured I would HATE having a job especially an entry level one at Walmart of all places, but I really like it. It's not that I look forward to standing there for hours and hours or pushing carts in the rain, but I don't know... I'm just happier now than I was before. I know happiness isn't entirely about circumstances, but I think it's something more than that...

So, if I put husband in charge of a lot of the house chores, I won't mind doing most of the outside chores.

Well, this is mostly the horrors of the meat industry I don't like making me want to do this... so if I lived near a farmers market, where people sold the meat from their own cows, that would take care of everything! My desire for all of these animals just went down now that I know I can get non meat industry stuff without doing the grunt work myself. Though I might still want the chickens just because they're so much fun to try and catch!! lolz. 

Another possible life is one as a Paleontologist. More to come soon...
