Alert the press!!!! Jason let me adopt an elephant!



Ok so he didn't really let me adopt an elephant but Felix got a new hat and because of that it occured to me that most of you have never been introduced to our entire family, so I figured its about time. Especially because those of you who have been over to the new house know that we "say" that we have a cat but yet you've never actually seen him.

So everyone meet Felix...
He actually wasn't originally ours. I went with Sheina a couple of years ago when she bought him and from the first second I was completely in love. I begged Jason to buy him back from her and literally cried when she drove off with him still in her possession. A couple of years later and Sheina wasn't able to keep him anymore and offered him to me. It always seems to amaze me how wonderful God is and how he works in mysterious ways. It was right around the time that I got sick and was no longer working because of it and so Felix helped me through all of it. I know that sounds silly but I wasn't used to being home by myself and it got really lonely really quickly, and Felix managed to dull some of that.

Ironically after we got him he got really sick too. In the last couple of years we have had major bladder issues that have sent us to the emergency vet at all hours of the night to be catheterized. I always tell Jason its my practice for having real kids because I could never imagine loving anything more and would go to the end of the world to make sure that he is safe and healthy. We never really knew that it was such a common problem with male cats but apparently it is. Luckily though he seems to be doing much better with his change of diet.

On a lighter note let me tell you a little more about Felix without all of the sappiness.


The last thing that we moved into the house: Felix. The very first night that we spent the night here, Felix spent the night too. No sooner, no later.




He is helpful when it comes to any project around the house...even helping Jason play guitar hero.


He is French, that and that alone is the only reason why he talks like pepe la pue.



He does not mind sock hats (after they make him pass out that is)....

He does not like weenier dogs named Toby...He does however love his weenier dog made out of catnip, either that or it reminds him of Toby we can't really tell it doesn't have any more ears though so you be the judge.

He doesn't like to be hot and to remedy this he sleeps in the sink.


Although it might seem like all he does is sleep, at night when me and Jason are trying to sleep Felix likes to pretend he is part of the kitty Olympics. He does flips and jumps but his specialty is the balance beam....TA DA!


He loves pretending that he's a stuffed animal and trying to scare me by moving.



He is very loving to his "babies" and he can not go any where without his stick. If we are all sitting downstairs he will run up stairs and all you can hear is the thumping of his stick bouncing down the stairs. He also feeds and waters everything.


He is a lot bigger then he looks. He can take up an entire bed, no matter how big.


He likes to make phone calls but were a little concerned about that since we've never been introduced to any of his friends.


And last but not least, he is a die hard Raiders fan, and he will go to every extreme to make that perfectly clear. He is after all black and white. We will be watching Monday night! GO RAIDERS!!!!!! (LOL...Hi dad!)
