The search for a cat





We saw a cat like this in a pet store off Camp Walker a few days ago but the owner said it was not for sale. Too bad. Because it is the only cat I have seen since being here. It is really strange because in the US there are free cats everywhere. Thousands to choose from. I have emailed some breeders that are listed for this area and gotten no response.

Last night while Court was out at the bars he was told there is a pet store off Camp George so we may try and check it out. Not sure if it will be open since it is Chusok. Which is Korean Thanksgiving and many places will not be open.


At first I wanted a kitten but I am now to the point where I will settle for any sort of friendly healthy cat.

Update


We went on a mini adventure Saturday after lunch to search for this store Court was told about. We went out the back side of Camp George and walked and walked. We saw several pet stores but they only had dogs. And then we thought we hit the jackpot! We found this store. Maddie is just grinning up a storm so glad to finally find cats. They had at least 20 or more and most were in cages. They were almost all persian but a few were siamese as well. So we are all excited because we think we will be getting a cat. And then Court asks how much.....

The cute puffy persians were going for 400,000 won and the Siamese kittens were 150,000 won.

Most of the cats look sick. They all had the runny eyes and crusty stuff around their eyes. No way am I paying that for a cat unless it is 100% healthy and comes with papers and has had shots etc. etc. Maybe I am expecting too much?

Here is a shot of some of the cats. Don't know if you can tell or not but their eyes are all yucky.

Oh well....we will keep searching.

Try the Nam dae Moon Market for a kitten. I've seen them there plenty of times for sale at the cost of about 5000 won...Just be sure you get the point over to Adashe not to break its neck and wrap it in a copy of orders or newspaper for dinner.
