We're acquiring a new cat but as much as I say that she very clearly decided she's ours now. Like we hung out like 3 times and she already decided she lives here and tried to barge on in ๐Ÿ™„ like, girl, i know i'm amazing and full of pets and good food, but chill! ๐Ÿ™„

My partner who has all our money decided it's worth it to have her get her shots done and spayed and whatnot, so we have an appointment for Friday to take her in

She's a sweet little tuxedo cat baby who is tall and skinny and the exact opposite of our current tuxedo cat, Mary Jane, who is very fat (AND MEAN). We're calling her squidward, our lil squiddie, because she meows in a way that sounds exactly like his voice

Hopefully everything goes okay and she doesn't have any horrible cat diseases. I'm worried she's pregnant, again (she has visible signs of recent pregnancy, swollen mammaries etc) but aside from that she seems fairly healthy

Also i think cats might be racist against tuxedo cats? Like she saw Mary jane and HISSED. But saw our little black cat and was chill. Then she saw herself in a mirror and HISSED, lol

Thank you <3 I think she won't be too mean as long as we monitor them the first few times they interact. I do have a lot of anxiety, though, but every time I think about a specific fear it's like, wow, I sound like my parents being afraid of everyone! Like Im worried she'll break stuff or something. But i know that's something to deal with if it happens, rather than be afraid of. She'll probably be fine, she's been a super sweetheart so far
