Whatever... [Deepak Alur's Blog]: Deepak Alur's Blog @ Sun

Look what we found in a parking lot all alone, hungry and tired....it was a kitten. My daughter looked at us for a moment, and before I could say anything, my wife and daughter had already picked that little kitty up in their arms. So, what was I going to say. But, I had one big worry and she was a 60 pound boxer called Ally, already at home. We had rescued Ally over two years ago and she has adjusted well to the family. But, one thing I have learnt about Ally is, she...um...well...is not fond of cats. Not, not, not! I have seen her chase the neighborhood cats around. But, too late to think about it.! Because turns out we are already on our way home because the little fella is hungry and meowing all the way. The girls even started brainstorming about a name for the kitten and had one by the time we arrived home. We get inside and immediately Ally is all agitated to see what we brought home. What the!!! Who the!!! But, Why! Oh, No!!!!!!

So for the last two days, we have been telling my daughter that the kitty is going to the shelter. But, everytime the topic comes up, her tears start flowing instantly and incessantly. She claims that the kitty was God's gift for her birthday this week. How can I argue? So, I don't know how, but we are keeping the little critter. His new name is Smokey. He eats, sleeps, plays...much to the annoyance of Ally. He loves my daughter's room, especially the cushion on her chair. But, worst of all, he makes a cute little mean scowl whenever he sees Ally and Ally just goes b-e-s-e-r-k. Well, now we have to work on getting them to be friends! What are the odds of that happening? Who knows.

I never thought I would have a cat living with us. Never, never, never. Well, that's life.
