A few months after I married Dan (I was 19 at the time) and was looking for a job in an empty apartment. It was lonely when he was at work, and I decided I wanted to get a kitten to keep me company. I had a perfect idea of what color kitten I'd like too, well, what we want isn't always what we get. Living in Oklahoma where it's more common to [probably] shoot a cat rather than rescue it, there weren't many cats at the adoption facility. 3 to be exact. There only 3 to choose from. So I picked the friendliest of the 3. He was black, which I was disappointed with because I was hoping for a colorful cat. But I was greatful that he was at least friendly and still fairly small...

I wasn't sure how this new cat would like Dan or vice versa, but I took the chance. When Dan walked in the door from work the cat went right to him and rubbed against his legs. Love at first sight. We knew having a pet was a handful, but it felt like an animal would be fun. We didn't know what to name him. I wanted something unique. We were into watching SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy with Will Ferell as Alex Trebek and Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds are always contestants. Anyway, we thought Trebek was an awesome idea at the time. No regrets. Here's an example:

Now, here's a bunch of photos of Trebek since 2008.

Awwww, what a sweet cat :) I simply love cats!! I've always had cats when I lived at home and I miss my Dina because she lives with my parents and sisters.
ReplyDeleteI want to have one cat here in Ljubjana but Mr. Starlight doesn't agree because we live in a really small apartment. He's right... but I would like to have one some day when we'll live in a bigger apartment.
