(Please Mom, I really want a cat soon today, Mom.)Notice the detail and thought put into this drawing. Apparently her goal is to have a neon orange cat with claws that can shred us all. (By the way, she wants the cat to be female, hard to find in orange, and it's name will be Wendy. Why? I have no idea.)
So, we felt those claws in our sentimental parental hearts and privately decided that yes, she would have her kitty. Shortly thereafter, unfortunately, Emma entered the stage of her life where she was slightly less delightful to be around (remember the Blueberry Meltdown, anyone?), and we told her she would have to earn the right to a cat. She and I formalized that idea by making a chore chart. The goal was 30 good days, with chores done and no nighttime tantrums.
Jason and I have started spending a lot of time on this website: Petfinder.com
Shoot me now. That may be the only thing that saves me from bringing home a whole litter of fluffy, clawed creatures. Buy one, get one half off indeed.

LOL. Don't envy you at all. Bombshell nearly ran over a kitten and tried to find it's owners. No one claimed so she decided that I needed to take it to the vet (she paid). All in all, KFKAP is a keeper, litter trained, not unsettled by shots and not afraid of other animals (including small boys) and he is only 10 weeks old now. Hope you get as lucky with your. I think I even have a layout posted on my blog of the little ....
I hope she likes it as much in real life :)
The teacher in me came out and cheered when I saw the chart! This was a wonderful idea and I'm rooting for her! Maybe before you get the cat, you can make a chart about her responsibilities when she gets it so she can mark them off each day as she does it.
I want to know how you made the chart. I could sure use it for our new kitten responsibilities.
Goodluck Emma!!!
Meg! Too darn funny. I know the locale of a orange girl kitty, however, I don't think "Wendy" would appreciate the USPS shipping her across the country!
