A new friend

I'm the type of person who at a party where I don't know anyone, you'll probably find me playing with the family pet. Socially awkward? Anyway, I miss my cats like crazy, probably more than my family cause I can't talk to them on the phone. So one day last week, a kitten about 3 months old came wandering into the house meowing like crazy. I fed it a hotdog (weird fact:hotdogs here are raw and individually wrapped in a plastic casing). Well it comes by everyday now for lunch and dinner. I would like to think it's my cat but it doesn't spend that much time here since it eats and runs. I bought it some friskies (the only canned food available here) and some dry food. In just a week of eating, it looks so much healthier. Now there was some confusion about whether it was a boy or a girl. It looks like a girl but after studying pictures online and looking under its tail repeatedly, I'm fairly certain it's a boy. Of course I named him Joey. While here in San Salvador I went to Walmart for the sole purpose of buying a pillow (for me) and toys and treats for Joey.

So, have you bought him a tickey yet?

I have no doubt that by the end of your trip there will be tears shed over Joey...or it could go the other way....Chandler, Monica and Phoebe may be getting an addition to the family (I'm sure you'd figure out a way) then you'll HAVE to get a 5th cat ( a girl of course) and name her Rachel so the cycle can be complete.
