Ms. Harley Chanandler Bong.
Harley for short.
Yes, it's another cat. Another whiny, moody, tempermental feline who, week to date, has cost us right around $200.00. We're in big trouble if this expenditure becomes a frequent occurrence. Lucky for Harley, she's also super cuddly, has a huge motor (hence, her name), and somehow managed to steal all our hearts.
I found Harley at the Petsmart. Her little orange face stuck out from a pile of kittens in the bottom right cage. I pointed to her and said to absolutely nobody as I was alone at the time, "I want that one." Little Riley (that's what Wasatch Humane said her name was; they were wrong) immediately jumped out of the pile of kittens and climbed the cage to get as close to me as she could. I was hooked!
I went and found Stretch who was busy buying fish. I joked about the kitten that needed to come home with us. I truly never intended to get the darn cat. When he saw her, he softly said, "Do you need her to be your going away present?" He is leaving for another tour in the Middle East soon, and actually encouraged the adoption. I felt guilty, so I just left little Harley clinging to the cage.
Needless to say, I couldn't get her out of my head the whole next day. On my way home from work, I stopped back at the Petsmart and snagged her up!
The minute I brought her home, she bonded with everyone in the house, with the exception of course of the other two cats! By the way, I've never introduced you to Gus Gus and Ella (maybe you've met Ella, but she's worth mentioning again). Aren't they cute?
Anyway, Harley caused us all (including big strong Stretch) to fall head-over-heels in love with her. So, when she got very sick just nine days into the relationship, we didn't have a choice but to rush her to the Animal ER! Turns out she has some feline upper respiratory virus; aka: a kitty cold! She's on antibiotics and doing much better. Phew! She better be, after $129.00 at the cat hospital! Good thing she's so cute!
One of the best things about Harley, is her perfectly Black and Gold color. Why would these colors be of particular interest to us? Well.....
Touchdown Pittsburgh!!! See, perfect match. She was meant to be ours!

Score.................btw what's the absolute limit
Oh my goodness! What a pretty kitty! I absolutely envy you for being able to have kitties. I love them but it hasn't worked out for us...EVER! Oh well, we are a petless home...unless you count the 4 year old and 3 teenage boys as animals! Sometimes I wonder...
PS---> Please, Please, Please! We need to all get together before Stretch heads over seas!!!
PPS or PSS (but not POS)
