...at Petco.

An adorable little calico kitten, about 10 weeks old at most, and on the diminutive side. Absolutely precious. One black ear, and one orange ear - rather like the harlequin suit court jesters wore. I immediately thought that Harlequin would be a good name for her, with the nickname of Harley/Harleigh.

I told myself I'd better leave immediately or I'd be taking her home. We had either 3 or 4 cats at the time, and I figured my husband would object. If I weren't married, she definitely would have been going home with me.
