There always seems to be some kind of little to large snafu in life. We're having our kitchen installed in our new house, and some pieces were missing and they gave us the wrong sink. A gas hookup guy was scheduled to come, and had to be rescheduled. Ditto for a guy who was to measure for new counters. I guess it would have seemed fishy if everything went 100% smoothly.

There seems to be so many stray cats throughout the area, ranging several kilometers in radius. They are almost exclusively black cats. I can't help but wonder if them being black is a factor. Is it because of some silly superstition? Hubby said Czechs also know about that "black cat crossing the street/path thing". Or just a few black cats in the past (not neutered/spayed) producing way too many kittens. I even see a lot of stray black kittens. I've read online that of the cats adopted through shelters, black cats tend to not be chosen at as high of a rate as other colored cats. This is quite sad! If we do end up adopting a cat in the near future, I'm thinking maybe going for a black one. However, with all of the stray cats I'd not want to let it outside much (or ever). I'd worry about cat fights. In general, Czechs are way more into dogs.
