I Think I Hear the Shop-Vac

We were at a picnic this evening and my husband was sucked into wanting a cat again. The hosts of the picnic have some very cute free kittens that need homes, so we *might* be getting one. We need to check with the landlords (we’re thinking they’ll say yes because the other tenants have a yippy dog), price the routine vet stuff to see if it’s in the budget and see if we can acquire any free kitty stuff from Matt’s mom. This is Matt’s incentive to get himself a job.
What do I think of all this? I’m scared to death. I’ve never owned an animal that could puke on my carpet. I’m used to only ever having fish… speaking of, we got a new Betta for our anniversary. His name is Newton and I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned him sooner.
If we get this kitten, he’s going to need a name. We’re looking for a naming gimic, something that we can continue with if we get more cats someday. The fish gimic is that our fish will be named after mathematicians, so I’m looking for something a bit more exciting for cats. Any suggestions?
