Mia's Sherbert

Mike finally agreed to let us have a cat last year and after our vacation this April we started "looking". We wanted one with a unique coloring and we wanted it to be small. Since every male cat I've owned have had urinary tract issues I was leaning toward a female.... We've looked at a lot of cats and kittens and I found a couple on petfinder that I wanted to get. Both times I called but by the time I drove over there the cat was adopted. Since we were going to visit my parents last weekend I decided to try their zip code on Petfinder.com. We saw a cat we like. I decided not to call ahead as that hasn't worked out for me and since it was right of the highway we stopped in on our way. She was there and now she is ours. She is 1 year old and 4.5 lbs. Everything worked out: nice coloring, small, female... it was fate.

I'm not crazy about the name but Mia says she wants to keep it. Sherbert was checked out by our vet yesterday and all is well. The poor thing hides into the tiniest spaces though as Mia is constantly picking her up. Hopefully Mia and Mason don't make her a "scaredy cat".
