So, randomly decided to buy a kitten one day. No, actually gave it some forethought of course. But still fairly impulsive - went down to the market one day with a few friends from the school who had already gotten one, and we had a look around. There were definitely a few candidates, but I fell in love with this one cage of 3 white kittens. Two of them were males, and I was told they would piss all over the place, so I went with the female. She cost 40 kwai (just under 5 USD!) and with a box of cat litter, food, and a bowl, the total was just over ten bucks! Gotta love prices in China..
Named her Xiao Bai, which means little white in Chinese. I have a few Chinese friends with that nickname, and it seemed appropriate for her given that she is tiny and white. Really needy and loud at first, she's tamed down a lot. She was all claws and biting and crying for the first few weeks, but moving past that stage thankfully. And oh man, she's definitely adorable. Still fits in the palm of my hand, and definitely makes the apartment a lot more cozier. Been a good thing..
