The Most Maximus Birthday Ever
Oh my GOD!!!!!!!! Last night, Don gave me the BEST birthday present I EVER GOT!!!!! He came home with the CUTEST little black kitten. We named it Maximus Poopious (pronounced poop-ee-us). He's only about 7 weeks old and he is soooooooooo adorable!!! We picked out that name a long time ago for our next kitty and this one totally fits--he may be small but PEEEEE-YEWWWWWWW!!! His teeny little poops are huge smell-bombs!!
I had absolutely NO idea he was going to do this. The thought of getting a kitten for my birthday never even crossed my mind. I knew Don had been wanting to get a kitten after Hideous died, but I thought we'd have to wait until spring or summer to get a kitten. As much as I know about cats, I didn't realize that they can have kittens all year round. I thought it was a seasonal thing.
Don and my brother somehow conspired together. We were supposed to meet my brother, my mom and my dad at the restaurant for a birthday dinner, but Oupie wanted to meet at the house. And Don was already coming home from the vet from taking Princess in for a few tests (she's been having problems breathing--we don't know yet what's wrong). So when he walked in the house with the cat carrier, no big surprise till I saw what was in it!! My brother took a video of my reaction--again, no big surprise since he's always taking pictures or video. I told him to post on Youtube. When I get the link, I'll post it here. In the meantime, here's Don's not-so-high-quality phone video of my reaction.
It occurred to me last night as I was trying to fall asleep (Maximus wanted to keep playing and I was too excited to sleep), that Maximus was born RIGHT around the time that Hideous died. And I'm quite certain that his fur is going to be soft and fuzzy like Hideous'. In fact, he looks exactly like Hideous did as a kitten (minus the white spot on his chest). Now, if you believe in reincarnation (which I do), what do you think the chances are of Hideous' soul reincarnating and coming back to us in the form of this new kitten? I think pretty darned good!! Especially since certain souls are destined to stay together--I think Hideous' soul is linked to Don's very tightly.
I can tell you now...I am having the BEST year ever! First I get a ton of new furniture, then I get the most awesome job I've ever had, and now a new kitten for my birthday! I thought life couldn't get ANY better than having the first two things. Guess I was wrong!!! I have THE BEST husband in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!
By the way, here's how it happened from Don's perspective.

I WANT TO SQUISH THE KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky!!! I miss kittens soooo much!!!
Heehee, little shadowy furball! Now I need to go hunt down Spooki and give her some 'unwanted' love. She growls at me as if she hates it, but her contented purring gives her true feelings away.
Have fun with your new kitty. Give Maximus a couple of squishes for me! :P
