Finally adopting the cat (and he has FIV, cat AIDS)
I moved to a new flat about a month ago. Finally. That was exactly what I needed. To get out of that selfdestructive place. And from Tore. We fought every day. I was upset, got fits and everything. And that isn't exactly what I need...
So I looked for a flat and found one where the landlady said it was ok to have animals. The flat is a two bedroom basement flat just on a street above one of the main streets of the city centre. It's awesome. The pictures seemed great and I went there and immediately fell in love with the place. It's a little bit like a dungeon, but that suits me, who have lived in a basement most of my life.
Low ceiling, and different levels on the floor in every room, so you have to watch your step when you enter a room :)
The kitchen/living room is big and the kitchen has a lot of space. A big fridge with a good size freezer for one person (or maybe in the future two) with a lot of bench space and cup boards. The only thing is that it doesn't have a fan above the stove, but I can live with that. I have fried food and it isn't a problem.
Leather sofas, a big dining table and nice color on the wall.
The second bedroom is quite small, but with a double bed and big closet + an extra drawer beside that.
My bedroom is very big, has a big double bed, big closet and also an extra drawer and some shelves.
The bathroom is the only thing that is of a bit lower standard. The bathtub is a bit old and used, but it has a good power shower so it's fine.
And a lot of storage space. Also, I have my own entrance on the front and my own entrance to the garden in the back and I'm allowed to put anything I want on the walls and paint if I feel like it. Anything I want as long as I don't destroy any bearing walls :)
So I just love it! And it is awesome to live alone!!!! It is expensive to live alone but it is definitely worth it and I have the extra room if I decide to get someone else to share with.
And now to the cat.
I decided a few weeks back that I am gonna stay in Cork for a few years to see if I can get promoted and climb somewhere in Apple, which will take some time, but they are happy with me and believe that I can get far and the only thing then missing was a cat, because I miss my cats at home soooo much. So I contacted CAS, since I want to adopt a cat and help them out.
And they went to my place, they accepted me and yesterday I met my cat. I told them that I am fine with a cat which is a bit older (most people want kittens), and also, I said that I wouldn't mind if he had FIV. I'm reading up on that at the moment, it is the same as HIV but in cats. It isn't dangerous to humans, only transmits between cats so he will have to be an indoor cat and if I get another cat (which I want) then I'll get another FIV cat.
They just get sick a bit easier but with suppliments and right food, they can live as long as healthy cats.
Yesterday I went to the cat hospital where they are treating my cat at the moment, his name for now is Carl or Kent depending on who you ask. I'll see if I'll stick to one of them or get another name. He is great. He is beautiful. Between 7 and 9 years old and have been homeless most of his life but still he is one of the friendliest cats I have ever met. I already love him, and he seems to like me as well :)
Tomorrow I'm going to go to a pet center to purchase all cat stuff needed and in the end of next week, I can expect to get him home to me and I am sooooo happy. This is my late birthday gift for myself. What more can I wish for?
This is gonne be nice!
Anywho, life is quite good at the moment, except for all the fits I get, but I can live with that. Need to run!
See ya!
