What to know about adopting a cat from the shelter + Tips on being on your cat's level.

For my birthday (which was on Saturday) my bf surprised me with my long awaited KITTY #2!! Our first cat, Jax, who is now almost 2yrs old or so was an adopted cat. He was 9 months old when we adopted him and it was pretty much established that it was "meant to be".
Let me start off by talking about my experience and background with cats prior to our first cat: NONE. There. I said it. My family is allergic to cats so I never had one growing up. And maybe some people are on the same boat. I'm a 25yr old student and I live with my boyfriend who works full time. Neither one of us had any experience with cats until we adopted Jax. With that being said, first timers to cats can either be extremely pleasant and successful or be a disaster. It's all about YOUR mentality as a person really.

First of all, if want to adopt a cat, please ask yourself WHY.
For example, our reason was that, well, we had been living together as a couple for over a year, and like a married couple once settled down might eventually want kids, we wanted a new addition to our family as well. Since we're not married, pets were the alternative. Or if you are single, perhaps you just want a companion.

Renew The Spring

Spring is probably my favorite season. The weather is nice. Sometimes it's a bit colder than I'd like it to be at night in California, but for the most part, the weather is awesome. Sometimes we get those April showers like we did a few days ago. It was actually raining like crazy! I actually really enjoy the rain as long as I'm INDOORS. I catch colds way too easily so I'm not one for jumping in puddles or whatnot. But the rain reminds me of Seattle and call me a weirdo but I actually like gloomy, rainy, drab weather. It's calming.

Grabbed three new CG polishes. (L-->R) Spontaneous, Lighthouse, & Naked.

I'm a whore for pink polish. -___-; and sparkles.

The sunlight hitting the grass creates this warm, almost neon like yellow-green color. It reminds me to keep sporting BRIGHT colors and to stay away from black as much as possible. (I'm a black/grey/white fiend! Trying to sport more upbeat colors while Spring is still lurking.)

And an obligatory cat photo because ya know.....I'm a cat mom.
This is Jax's favorite position. I believe they call it "cat loafing". I think it's pretty funny looking because it makes him look like he has no limbs. LOL.

Pink hair and Jax

So I recently dyed my hair pink. It faded now and my hair is completely blonde again :/ but I wish there were permanent pink dyes!! The color was just so damn pretty. *___* But at $10 for a one time use that only lasts like less than a week.....it was not worth it. I loved the color it showed on my hair though. The one good thing about all the shit I went through with my blonde hair is that colors saturate very very well on my head .--. I have the most platinum blonde of blonde hair I've ever seen on Asians and I tried to rid as much yellow as possible so if you are trying to go colors, definitely get your hair ashy light blonde first!

LOLOL he's like, "i hate u bitch"

He looks so angry...LOL. He's not though. He's just trying to be cool.
