so nick and i both grew up with cats. i dont know if you would call us cat people… but we dont mind them.
now, when it comes to getting a domesticated animal. that would be out of the question. you see – pets cost money, and im married to nick nielsen. i dont think i need to explain.
BUT, a couple weeks ago, we were walking home from church and this guy (soon to be discovered.. girl) followed us home.
she was cute, and sweet… but we didnt know if she belonged to someone. so we asked around and she didnt seem to have a home. nick was all about feeding her. and i TOLD him, once we feed her, she’s never leaving! but, he said as long as she keeps any possible rodents away, i dont mind having her around!
so… she has stayed. we’ve named her charlie. my parents have a boy cat named charlie, and nick had a girl cat named charlie, so i guess thats the only name we know for cats!
she likes to sit here…
she just watches us wonder around!
she really is a sweet cat. we’ve been talking, and nick has a no-house rule. but once its 20-degrees outside, we might have to discuss that! we shall see. all around, she’s a great cat, and we’re glad she chose us.

She might need a trip to the vet for shots and a checkup before she comes inside.
