Last Sunday (oh my God, was it only a week ago today?), the local RSPCA animal rescue shelter had an unplanned visit.<\/p>\n
The idea was to look for a dog.<\/p>\n
Not just any dog.<\/p>\n
The kind of stay-at-home dog that would fit in to a busy working day.<\/p>\n
You know the sort.<\/p>\n
Whippy The Greyhound.<\/p>\n
A dog I could take out in the mornings and wear it out.<\/p>\n
Then it would sleep all day.<\/p>\n
Then I’d take it out in the evenings and wear it out.<\/p>\n
Then it would sleep all day.<\/p>\n
And so on.<\/p>\n
Anyway, although the RSPCA shelter had quite a few dogs deserving a second home, none of them matched the behavioural criteria.<\/p>\n
So we sort of wandered across to the cat house.<\/p>\n
Not that kind of cat house, obv.<\/p>\n
Felines.<\/p>\n
It was traumatic to see so many cats of various size, age, and description who had fallen on unfortunate times.<\/p>\n
Eye-wateringly traumatic.<\/p>\n
Anyway, not that there was any feline manipulation going on or anything, but Raven and Ripley came home with us yesterday.<\/p>\n
Raven spent her first 12 hours in her new home hiding underneath a bed and steadfastly refusing to come out.<\/p>\n
Ripley was a little bolder.<\/p>\n
I hope these two 12-month old kitties have a happier time here than they have had in their previous existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
