Howdy - I tried to read back, but can't quite finish. Yes, indeed, it is Emma's fault that I adopted two cats today - I found them when looking at other San Antonio cats for adoption for her. They are quiet, adult cats who both have had a very hard time finding homes. I went to meet them - they are quiet and a bit standoffish, but honestly, that's sort of what I'm looking for (I don't have it in me to manage a kitten right now). You can see them here - I'm getting Opal and Brooke.

I will pick them up tomorrow - I got home and took a critical look around. It's been a few years since I've had a cat, and my house is not in great shape for new cats at all, so I've been tidying up, moving breakable things, etc. I'm wiped out, though, heading to bed now.
Oh, chick update - I found another dead chick this evening, and there are two or three more that may not make it. It was a really rough trip for them, poor things, and this fits about the number that I was worried about when I first took them out of the box. But some are doing just fine, so at least there's that (when it took so long for them to arrive, I was worried that I'd pick up a silent box of dead chicks at the post office). I won't relax until losses are over, though.
OK, I gotta crash. More tidying tomorrow, and selection of locations for littler boxes and cat trees. (Plus all the chicken stuff to do). This weekend just got a lot busier...
