So my parents just called me.
My Mom was giddy.
They had me on speaker phone because they "had some news they wanted to tell me together."
This is extremely rare and made me go... "Uhhhh.... ok."
I thought maybe they'd decided to adopt the Great Pyrenees puppy they've been helping to watch. Some friends of theirs found it and they're trying to turn it over to the GP rescue, but they have to hold it for 30 days. These friends already have two huge dogs, so the GP has been spending it's days in my parent's back yard.
I was wrong.
Dad - "We got a Bengal!"
Me - "You got a WHAT?" - I thought he was joking... that they got another cat, maybe a bigg-ish one.
I was half right...
They went to the place where they got Luxor (who passed away this past summer) and when they walked in the owner said, "I've got your cat in the back." They were like, "Yeah. Right."
She brought out a Bengal Cat and apparently it was love at first sight.
Her name is Sarabi (interestingly... that's the name of Simba's mother in the Lion King) and she weighs about 15 lbs.
She's still in quarantine, so they can't pick her up until tomorrow... I get home Thursday so I'll meet her soon.
A freaking tiger cat...
