cats

He's never been too fond of cats and I've always been overly fond of cats.  So instantly this was a disagreement in our marriage.  We've talked about it randomly over the last year and have had some petty "cats vs. dogs" spats. 

 I remember last summer when I saw a picture of a beautiful cat in a magazine while Ben and I were driving somewhere. We talked about it then... and he again expressed his dislike for cats.  And then I actually started to tear up!  I realized that I might never own a cat in my entire life.  It was so suddenly so sad!  I grew up with cats and have only positive memories with cats.  Owning a pet has never been an option until this summer when we'll move and start being "real people." 

So when Ben promised that I could get a cat this summer-- I was very excited!  And I was thankful for him.  But I also think his "I hate cats" attitude is a total scheme and he really doesn't mind them.  He might even like them! We'll have to wait and see... :)

What should our cat's name be?  I like "Nemo"-- what do you think??

Instantly- cats and I worked well together.

Dinky was our longest cat who literally grew up with me and went to cat Heaven whenever I went to college.

See Ben, look how playful??!!
