new family member

We decided we needed a cat in our lives after our happy years with Maggie. This little girl is 3 years old and has been at the Humane Society Shelter since Jan. It took her no time at all to decide she was going to like it here and she is already spending time on our laps. All our family members who have been urging us to get another cat are pleased for us. I think it is good for us too. My bloodpressure was down about 8 points this morning. Fortunately, it has been fairly well controlled with my latest meds but a few more points is a good thing. Now I am gearing up for those shots in my neck next Friday and hoping that will reduce the pain without taking pain killers that have an effect on the liver. The shelter named the cat Portia, but that doesn't seem to roll off the tongue so we are thinking of changing it. Any suggestions? Cheers to all from Wag, Alice and kitty.
