This Weekend Was Great!

So, was a great weekend. After a week long of immunology lectures, I was ready for a break! I have yet to study the lecture notes, but eventually will make myself. The weather was beautiful this weekend and it rained only today for a span of about 15 minutes. I had a craving for Panda Express chow mein, so I researched the recipe online and found one that had pretty good reviews. I walked to the store to get the ingredients and it began to rain on me (lasted for about 2 minutes total). That's Scotland for you though, it's sunny one minute and the next it rains! I purchased my ingredients and on the way back home from the store I saw this big tan cat in the distance. The cat jumped over the wall and down into the ditch. I took a picture of it because it was a gorgeous looking cat and was huge too! The tail was enormous as well! Very long and fluffy. I am unsure as to what type of breed it was. So, it was down in the ditch because some people had scared it. I called it (even though I couldn't see where it was) and all of a sudden the cat jumped up on the wall right in front of my face (about 6 inches from my face to be exact) and scared the bejesus out of me! Apparently my grilled chicken breast that I had in my had was of particular interest to this cat... It was honestly the friendliest cat I have ever met. Was throwing it's body into me, purring, rolling around. I pet it for about 10 minutes after I took some good videos. Hopefully someone that reads this post can identify the breed, I would like to know. I'm not the greatest with cat breeds. On the way home, the wind started picking up and it got so windy at one point that my right foot was blown into my left leg as I was taking a step and I almost tripped! Yeah, very windy indeed! Visiting with that cat earlier made me realize how much I miss having a pet around. I miss Brownie and being able to just pet him or play with him whenever I want to. Will be back soon though, can't wait! Hope everyone is doing well. Going to go watch Dexter (TV show) and go to bed slightly early.

If that cat came into the clinic I would probably call it a domestic medium hair...so since it's over there, it would have to be an exotic medium hair. :) I'm not really that great with cat breeds either (don't tell our cat clients). It looks like a mutt.

Since when has chow mein included grilled chicken breast as an ingredient? Doggone it, now I'm hungry.

Carly says hi (she would also like to know if you would throw her ball a few thousand times for her when you come back - don't worry, I didn't commit you to it).

Talk to you later!

Tanya, you are too funny!

That cat is very handsome! I'm glad you finally got a breath of fresh air, you deserve it with all that studying! I'm so proud of you, you're doing so well! Just don't let that wind knock you down! You're lucky, that cat was so friendly, it might have licked your face with it's rough tongue! hehe. Love you!
