November 18: Since our 20 year old cat passed away a week after my diagnosis, Sherry and I have talked about getting a kitten. Our dog Wendy, the greatest Golden Retreiver and dog in the history of dogs, passed away in June 2005. 
Going from having several animals to none is quite a shock. So we've been looking at the cat rescue web sites and called on some of the ones we liked. PAWS (Progresseve Animal Welfare Society) utilitzes foster homes for their kittens. They operate a store front in Greenwood in North Seattle. We visited Cat City yesterday, filled out the paperwork and completed the screening interview. They bring just a few kittens in from the foster homes for the day so that people aren't looking at hundreds of cats and making "beauty contest" decisions. There were two male kittens about 2 months old in the storefront window. We were planning to adopt one female kitten. The kittens were cute and very interactive with humans. An hour and a half later, we were walking down the street each holding a cat carrier.
After we got home, I don't think I've been ever entertained for so long as I can remember. Never noticed any ringing in the ears!
