Crazy Cat People

Last night, Mike and I did something that cemented our status as way-too-concerned cat owners.

We put cat items on our wedding registry.

Yes, Mike and I registered last night at Amazon.com. I know it's a little early to be registering, but yesterday we didn't have anything else to do wedding-wise, and we figured it would be better to register now, when it's fun, rather than later, when it's another chore.

We plan to register at two other stores, but Amazon was our first stop. The problem is, we both have a lot of household-y stuff since I've lived on my own for so many years and because Mike's parents always have an eye out for sales. After a few items we found ourselves staring at one another trying to come up with inspiration.

"Can we put cat things on our registry?" Mike asked after awhile.

I just laughed. "Cat things? I guess we could put cat things."

"What kinds of things would the cats need?" Mike asked.

I pondered. "A cat tree!" I exclaimed. And so we searched for a cat tree that fit my criterion (it can't be too expensive) as well as Mike's (it needed a hiding place).

So we found one. We also found a kitty drinking fountain that purifies the cats' water. Normally I'd think that was silly, but his cat Edison is fascinated by running water so he'd get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

I'm sure I'm going to hear about this from my family when they look up our registry. But luckily I'm related to a few crazy cat and crazy dog people, so our cats will be provided for.
