Another mouth to feed :)

Meet Tessa, the coolest cat ever:

Justin inherited her when we married because I had adopted her a few years ago when I lived in Virginia. Wanna know how cool she is? She comes when she's called, she tries to snatch your french fries if she smells the potato-y aroma, and besides that, she gets along with the dogs and just likes to hang out with us. Oh yeah, and another plus is that she allows an endlessly-crawling infant to maul her with her toothless gums and pull on her ears. Yeah, she's that cool!

But poor Tessa Messa has been friend-less for a while now so when we went to PetsMart a few days ago and saw her:

Justin and I couldn't resist. Her name is Cuddles (yeah, it's dumb but she came with the name and we're too lazy too think of another creative one) and she was surrendered to a rescue because her owner had to move and couldn't take her. She's an 8 year old girl, which broke my heart because she should be spoiled and pampered in her old age (like Robbie was). Anyways, we took this girl home and within minutes of showing her the food and litter box in the garage, she managed to squeeze her 17 lb. body through Tessa's tiny cat door and proceeded to flaunt herself in front of the dogs, begging them to come near her. Yeah, she's one tough cookie and Tessa caught wind of that after attempting to sniff her butt. That apparently wasn't something Cuddles was used to so she hollered, hissed and batted Tessa around until Tessa sauntered away.

I'm not quite sure this whole idea of getting Cuddles to be Tessa's "friend" is gonna work out but hey, what's another cat what you already have 4 other mouths to feed ;)
