It took some time and persuasion, but good news I convinced Michael and the landlord's that I needed to have a kitty. Her name is Cali. You probably guessed that I named her after my home state and you are right! Cali is a year old but looks young for her age. I am guessing she was the runt in her family. She has a white nose, white paws, and two black lines that come out from her eyes. The black lines by her eyes makes her look like she is wearing a mask.
It was so difficult walking through the Humane Society and seeing all those cats who needed homes, but when I walked into Cali's room we both knew it was a perfect match. She jumped right up onto my lap and she let me pet her for as long as I wanted.
I was so nervous while I was signing paperwork and it was then that I realized it was a good thing Michael and I were getting a cat before a child because if I am that nervous about taking care of a cat, I do not want to know what I will feel like having the huge responsibility of taking care of a human! But so far everything has been perfect. She loves to cuddle and is getting more comfortable with her new home each moment.
