Lucky the stuffed kitten
The little stuffed kitten I bought in Salem yesterday is now named "Lucky." Within hours of getting home, my landlady decided a cat would be allowed, and overnight, with that change in rules, I started getting responses. Funny thing about people beyond grad school who are still looking for roommies (ergo, not living with family): a very high percentage are pet people. I'm a pet person myself, but had more or less given up on having a pet in an apartment, as the ferret my roommate had was described as a kind of special circumstance disposition. And if a new roommie's cat is amenable, I may finally get one of my own. (Merlin will undoubtedly turn his nose up at me when I visit Mom smelling like a strange cat, but he'll just have to deal.)
