Blah

The video game I've been waiting 3 years for came out today (Gran Turismo 4) and of of course, I haven't the means to buy it. Wouldn't matter if I did because I need to buy a new Playstation 2 as well!

I've 2 cats now. Synder who is a 5 year old anti-social long-haired tortoise-shell. Beautiful cat that no one but I ever sees as she is a super scaredycat. And then there is Niya. She is the complete opposite of Synder. Type A, extroverted, has to be the center of attention and into EVERYTHING cat. She's a short-hair, gray striped tabby with a light brown undercoat which makes her fur seem really rich and lustrous.
I mention this because A - I haven't before (good reason!) and B - I've adopted a stray. I know better and I know better but there he is. He's a long-haired, orange striped tabby that used to have a home. You can see the indentation that only comes from wearing a collar for a long, long time. So somebody abandoned him (my choice) or he ran away and somehow took his collar off to conceal his identity. I've named him Buddy because it's a gentle name to call him with and after about 3 weeks now, he seems to be responding a bit to it. He now will let me pet him very briefly as he eats. He shows up at the same time every day for dinner. Today was sad though. He sat out there staring in for nearly an hour. It's like he remembers having a home once and being able to come in. Really tears me up.
Did I mention I'm a softy?
I can't let him in though. My cats are indoor only and so don't have one of the shots needed to survive outdoors. So i need to take them in and get their shots. Then I'll have to snare Buddy and take him in for a complete checkup, get fixed and shots. Then he will become an indoor only cat as well. That is what I want to do. But seeing how he's been an outdoor cat and half wild for who knows how long, it may not be feasible. Plus, and this is the kicker, I'm currently unemployed. So getting a stray cat taken care is pretty far down the list from paying the mortgage!
Oh well, something has to happen. something good for a change.
