Even though I'll miss the little guy, I'm pleased to say that Huxley was adopted last night. Being that Beatrice, Emma, and Elise were all recently adopted as well, that means that with the exception of two (Littlefoot and Kit) every cat that my wife and I have fostered has found a home.
There's a new little fuzzball in residence now, though; a 3-month-old long-haired kitten named June. She was found covered in concrete dust at a construction site and was going to be euthanized because she was "feral." She is so timid that I don't know how anyone could have thought that, but fortunately the people with Feline Rescue Mission picked her up. I'm sure she'll get adopted soon, too.

See what a "test essay" is in the introduction to my previous essay.
A recent email I received was pretty typical - I won't quote it here because the person meant well, but the sum up was this - they laud my decision to adopt, argue that I should have done it earlier, and point out that adoption is the solution to the population crisis.
Gwenyth Paltrow has one. So does Angelina Jolie, U2's Bono, Meg Ryan, and Mia Farrow. Now Madonna wants one too. No, I'm not talking about the latest Dior sunglasses or Fendi purse (although I'm sure it would look fab on Bono)---the "in" accessory lately seems to be African orphans.
I found this trackback to an angry and not terribly coherent response to my post about Catholic Charities pulling out of the adoption business.
I love the background. It looks like he's dreaming of great big ol' fish nom nom nom!
I sooooooooooo wish I could get a cat or two. But my landlord would have a litter of them if I tried it. :-(
