Two weeks ago, someone on Twitter linked to one of those Buzzfeed “1,000,000! Cutest! Things!” articles and mentioned that one of the Cutest! Things! was a munchkin cat, otherwise known as the ‘corgi of cats.’

Which is how after some Googling, emailing, and a phone interview,  I found myself driving to Strasburg, VA (90 miles from DC) on a gorgeous spring Sunday, and returning with a copilot.

In keeping with the trend of naming my pets after adorable old men who coach DC sports teams, I have named her Davey.

Davey has grown up in a house in the country with seven others cats (and two indoor smokers — the poor baby reeks) and is a little nervous about living in an apartment in the city with a cat who has clearly forgotten his manners.

(Please don’t yell at me, internet. As soon as this happened, I realized my mistake and kicked Gibbs out of the room. The guest room is Davey’s ‘safe room’ for as long as she needs it. Oh, and if anyone needs a queen bed frame, please let me know.)

Davey is only part Munchkin and has spent her time here so far under the bed, but I promise better pictures of her short little legs as soon as I can get them.

Wednesday night I fell asleep with a candle lit (I know. The lavender was apparently a little too relaxing.) and had several dreams involving hot ovens and lit burners before finally waking up in the heavily-scented dark to blow it out.

I also had an extended dream about a small fuzzy black shark that chased me around (on land and in the water) and bit my legs, which makes me wonder exactly how Gibbs entertains himself while I sleep.
