avery the cat is alive!

Do yourself a favor and watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I saw it several times during my sister's Paul Newman phase. It was truly one of her better cinematic stages. But back to my house...there's a new cat in residence.



And she's a little silly.



Last night at Hobby Lobby I put those cat ears on Avery while we were walking around. Then I wasn't allowed to take them off. I had to tell the clerk the price and it was a fight in the parking lot just to let me touch them long enough to pull the tag off before heading to Target. That's right, my cat accompanied me into Target too. I'm kind of excited because I hope this means that she's going to let me start putting headbands and bows on her head!

And in other cat news, Avery can now meow. For a long time all animals said, "Woof woof," just like a dog. Then we learned other animal sounds and now she can meow, moo, hoot, baaa, hop like a bunny, kiss like a fish, and trumpet like an elephant while raising her arm as the trunk. Make no mistake, they are all ADORABLE!!! But anyway, the cat is the newest. Last night actually, while wearing her ears and waiting in line at Hobby Lobby - the cat meowed.
