Oreo!

We have another new member of the family.  This time its not a machine, but an animal.  A cat to be exact.  I'm not an animal person, yet this is the third animal we've had since we've been married.  Don't be too shocked though.  This is an outside only cat.  It has a bed and food in the garage and can come and go as it pleases.  We had mice last year.  In our house.  Not ok.  So I'm hoping to establish an outer perimeter that the mice can't get through.  Hopefully Oreo will be a great mouser.  If some mice do get past him, we'll just throw him in the crawl space and let them go at it.  Oreo is a super cute kitten right now.  Let's face it, even as a non-animal person, I think most animals are really cute as babies.  The problem is that they get big.  Then they're not so cute.  We shall see how this works.  Let's just say that I'd rather take care of a cat than empty mouse traps.  Yuck and double yuck.
