Miss Meeko Socks

So I've learned this, that when living with a bunch of girls any random animals you find will be issued horrible names.

Miss Meeko Socks being a perfect example, was unfortunately bestowed upon my new found feline friend. One fine New Paltz morning I went up to convienent before class to get some breakfast. I had been borrowing Kates car so I could get to work which made the trip all that much more convienent. (HaHa, get it? . . ) Anyways, when I step out of the door here comes a little kitten bolting towards me. I bend down expecting it to run away in fear, but it instead jumps on my lap. I pet it for a second and then continue on my way back to my room only to find this dog of cats following me home. Well, he came right inside to follow me upstairs and right into my room. Not knowing what to do I let him stay a while and bought him some cheap cat food. Over the course of the day I discovered that he was a she who loved to sleep and apparently got around town. After describing her to several of my friends they informed me that they had also had a run in with this kitten. Well John wanted to name him boots for his white feet, but Nikki decided that was too cliche and socks was much more original. . . beats me. . . Kate and I however were deadset on Meeko and so Miss Meeko Socks was named. Oy vei. After a while I decided against having cat doodoo in my room so I let him back out before he could go to the bathroom. A few hours go by and as I'm laying down to bed Nikki and Amy knock on my door and say, "Craig, we have a friend." Meeko had come back so of course I had to let her stay the night, after all it was so cold outside! It's been two days and no word from the Meekster, but I'll keep you guys posted on New Paltz's Pet!
