allergic

As it turns out, I was highly allergic to our new addition.  After she was in our home for about 2 days, I noticed that my asthma was out of control, and I had developed a nasty "cold".  I tried to be in denial about what was really causing my symptoms, because it only took me two minutes to fall in love with her.  

Then I went to my doctor to confirm what I already knew was true.  After listening to my lungs, I think his exact words were:

"um.. you have to get rid of that cat"

Luckily, the stars aligned and Matt's boss was in the market for a kitten for his family.  They have a nice home and two little girls to chase her around.  We took Eleanor to her new home last night.  She didn't seem nearly as traumatized as I was.  The little girls love her, and she has a very happy new home.

also, her name is Pickle now. 

I know you're sad that this can no longer be an annoying cat blog. 

sorry.
