My cat Vinny.
Four days into buying our home, Ms. Hey Adrien! went on a sisters' trip to Rhode Island. That Friday afternoon, I get a call from my sister-in-law, warning
so, just to let you know, [your wife] found a kitten for adoption and she'll call you in a few to ask you if we can bring it home.
A few minutes later, the call comes and I'm happy for the adoption, but I'm asked to meet them in Rhode Island as soon as I can. It's summer, it's 5:30 PM on a Friday...no way I'm driving to Rhode Island from Norwalk in gridlock summer traffic. We agree to meet at the Ikea parking lot and then I drive him back home for two nights of just him and I.
I haven't had a cat since I was 9, and I was more of a dog person at the time, but he's the best addition to our family. Such a weirdo and so much personality!
