I&#8217;m pretty much settled in to the condo, Clare is staying with me every night and we both wanted a pet.  She&#8217;s more of a dog lover but my little condo just couldn&#8217;t support a dog lifestyle.  We&#8217;ve sent each other tens of petfinder.com links but none of them seemed like &#8220;the one&#8221;.  Finally, Clare sent a link early one morning titled &#8220;HHHOOOOOOONNNEEEYYYYYYY!!!&#8221; and a wave of realization hit, here was the one! <\/p>\n<p>I had a few criteria in mind when picking out a new cat.  These criteria were not of the &#8220;must have&#8221; variety, but more of the &#8220;must not be&#8221; variety:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cannot be a kitten.  Everyone wants a kitten.  Kittens only temporarily end up in shelters; they get snatched up immediately.<\/li>\n<li>As a corollary: cannot be fairly young.  No one wants an older cat, so the older, the better I would feel about adopting.<\/li>\n<li>Cannot be in perfect shape.  A healthy, pretty kitty will be adopted over time.  There is little chance a healthy, well-behaved cat would have issues being placed in a wonderful home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The cat that Clare linked to was six years old, had a teratoma removed from his neck and needed a tooth removed.  On the other hand, you could tell he was so sweet and once healed up, would be beautiful!  He&#8217;s a Siamese mix:  mostly a domestic short-hair body but with blue-points and the cutest blue cross eyes!  We ran through a few name ideas but since he&#8217;s mostly a light cream color with blue points, I came up with the name Roquefort, or Ro for short.  Here he is:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/umichigan.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=39134378&#038;id=2221438\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos-438.ll.facebook.com\/photos-ll-sf2p\/v142\/215\/11\/2221438\/s2221438_39134378_3675.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/umichigan.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=39134379&#038;id=2221438\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos-438.ll.facebook.com\/photos-ll-sf2p\/v142\/215\/11\/2221438\/s2221438_39134379_3906.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/umichigan.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=39134380&#038;id=2221438\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos-438.ll.facebook.com\/photos-ll-sf2p\/v142\/215\/11\/2221438\/s2221438_39134380_4125.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/umichigan.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=39134381&#038;id=2221438\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos-438.ll.facebook.com\/photos-ll-sf2p\/v142\/215\/11\/2221438\/s2221438_39134381_4347.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clare and I just found the cutest cat in the whole world and he&#8217;s turning out to be quite the lover!
