kitten envy

hello love,

my sister and i have been trying to convince my mom (dad is on board) to get a kitten. you see, the only pet we have is an older, arthritic cat, Riley- i say arthritic because, laugh if you will, every time she walks around her poor little knee cracks (it might be due to the fact that she is slightly overweight, poor girl)! i love riley and she is sweet, but i think she's lonely. i think she needs a playmate- am i wrong for coming to this conclusion? i got to hang out with some kittens when i babysat last week- and am seriously experiencing kitten envy. i think i need one. look at these pictures, and you will agree with me!

riley, in all her glory
