Widget

Today Sebastian fell totally in love with a small kitten at the animal shelter where Teri volunteers. He's a charming little cat; he climbed up onto Teri's shoulders, and jumped onto mine, and purred like a little buzzbox. His name is Widget.

Sebastian got so upset that he refused to leave the room where Widget was. Tears were welling up in his eyes. This wasn't the usual six-year-old fussiness; he was really upset.

I have to admit that Widget charmed me and Teri a lot. We didn't intend to get a third cat. But, well, Teri ended up filling out adoption papers, and I agreed. We'll be picking him up tomorrow.

I'm very nervous. It's an added expense just when we should be saving as much money as possible, and I don't know how our other cats will react. I'm just...nervous.
