Kitsa and me: photo by michael

Posted by: kimthanh

Many may already know we were given a cat. Her name is technically Kitsa now, but I was in such a rush to get a name tag for her that I ended up going with Pumpkin, as we both had talked about, though not truly confirmed in Michael's mind. Well, come to find out once I put the name tag on her, I soon began calling her Kitsa. Why? I really don't know but it ended up just matching who she is. So, now I will someday have to return to have a new name tag made with her correct name. She responds very well to Kitsa, but never to Pumpkin. So if she were lost out in the wide world, she wouldn't know her name was Pumpkin. Poor thing.

And on another note, being a childlless couple at this time, I have fortunately become quite attached to her. Though I always claimed I was a dog lover, not cats. Well, I was pondering mine and Kitsa's relationship the other day and soon realized how easy it is for couples to begin treating their pets as their children. Of course, I used to scoff at this idea. Well, the day has come and I would say I'm pretty close but not quite there with her in that way. But I could simply be kidding myself. It wouldn't be the first time. Ha! Ha!
