Blue my black cat

Blue my black cat.

I live in an apartment off campus and one of my roommates fought for a side contract with our landlord to be able to have two cats in the apartment even though none of us have cats.

Well over labor day weekend I went home for this reptile show with the intention of buying a ball python. I saw they had a shelter booth set up in the back with 2 little black cats and some dogs. I went back to get one but they already closed up shop and headed out. (although it would have been ironic to get a cat at a reptile show). Call it fate, or what you will, but I traveled home and headed to the same place my mom got our dog from and they had two different little black cats there. I picked up the bigger of the two black cats and he really wanted to be held and petted.

He has a great disposition I have never seen a more well mannered kitten except when he wants to play. It was out of the blue that I got him and I just watched old school so I named him Blue. He was great on the drive back to school and he gets along famously with ever person he meets except for other animals especially my dog. He usually starts the confrontation but it seems to be out of curiosity.

He usually falls asleep on the top of my computer chair or in my computer shelf when I am hashing out a paper, and on my head when I am sleeping.

I always wanted a black cat because of all the mystery, omens, and myths about them. It will definitely be a fun Halloween with this little dude around.
