So to shed some light on my living situation, I live with my parents still (I'm a loser, I know. Don't take out any credit cards. Don't max them. They are evil) Anyway all together we have 2 dogs and 2 cats. My step father isn't an animal hater, but he isn't really an animal lover either. He hasn't wanted any of the animals we've ever had, he just gets used to them, and sometimes finds one he warms up to (our cat Henry is the only animal he's fond of right now lol) And he's said for years that my Mom isn't allowed any more animals and as these die off she can't get new pets blah blah blah (he can be rather cold sometimes....)

But a few month ago a bunch of cats just randomly started coming into our yard off and on, two in particular that like to lay in our driveway. Turns out that the next door neighbor had a family relative go into assisted living and she took on like 7 cats, one was pregnant and gave birth to 3 kittens. She also had a young woman living with her that moved out recently and left her cat there which the neighbor also put outside. Most of them are declawed. The mom and three kittens are inside her house for now thank god, but the others just wander around. I've been buying extra cat food and leaving it outside in different spots, and I also cracked the door of our second garage that my parents don't use and have made some beds and put some food in there too. I know it's not a long term solution as I have been trying to find them homes but I can't bare the thought of them outside at night when it's cold because they are used to being inside.

BUT! The cat that belonged to the young woman that moved out (Moonbeam/Luna) has stolen my heart, my moms heart, and my sisters heart. We;ve been working on my step dad for weeks and he finally caved and told my mom we could bring her inside "until we find her a home" and I hope that turns into "okay we can keep her" lol. She is the cutest thing. Her face is shaped different than any cat's I've had before, the neighbor said she was a $1,500 persian, but I doubt that. She must be part persian(?) because she has a really squishy looking face. She had fleas which we treated, and she has long white and grey hair that was all dirty and matted and I had been brushing her at least once a day when she was outside and now that she's inside she can't get herself into as much and she looks so nice! She's also started to put on weight as I think all the other outside cats were beating her to the food at the neighbors, and the food I put out, because she's just so much smaller than them and pretty shy.

This post is just because I'm so excited that she's warm and happy now haha. The two cats and two dogs we already have are warming up to her too. Our sheltie (Lexi) always gets excited when we bring more animals home. Her litter mate Spunky passed away about 4 years ago and ever since then every animal we bring home she assumes is a present for her (LOL) but so far they have all hated her. Lexi loves our second cat Kovu and will follow her around the house and Kovu just hisses and hisses hahaha. And Lexi has kind of been "protecting" Moonbeam from everyone so we will see what Moonbeam ends up thinking about her lol

Maybe I'll get some pictures to help tell the tale better
