This morning Megan and I were set to go shopping at a fabric store in Dongdaemun. on the way out of the building though, we found an adorable little kitten! It was clearly a stray, and stray cats are not treated very nicely here. People often throw rocks at them! So we decided to take him in. Originally Megan was going to take him. But she decided she wasn't ready for a cat. So who jumped to the task? Me! I decided to name him Dexter (hopefully he wont turn into a vigilante serial killer though), and he is just the cutest little thing. I know it's going to be hard to raise a kitten, but I couldn't just leave him to fend for himself! So we brought him up to my apartment, gave him some cereal and water, and we put him in the bathroom while we went shopping.

Dongdaemun is a great place, we went to the giant fabric store there. I was hoping to find a sewing machine, but no luck. I did however find material to make my Halloween costume (Halloween is rarely celebrated here, so it was difficult to find costumes) and I got some yarn to make scarves with. Then we had a look around the town. I tried to find some postcards, but this country isn't very big on them. So if you haven't gotten one yet, it's not because I don't like you!

On the way back we stopped at the Veterinarians by our apartment and told him that we found a stary kitten. We got him some hard and soft food, a food dish, and some flea medicine. I have to take them a fecal sample (yum!) to test for parasites, and then after a week I can take him in to get vaccinated. We also found a little box, but no litter. As I said before, people don't like cats too much, so their supplies are few in number. But I know there is a pet store around here, so I can check that out. I came back and gave him the wet cat food, which he basically inhaled, and he has been spending the rest of the afternoon chasing my feet, attacking my hand, and rummaging through my underwear drawer.

I also figured out how to write his name in Hangul, it's 덱스터 just fyi.

I'm going to have to Dexter-proof my apartment, which I have already learned means to close off the area behind the fridge, remove all plastic from his reach, shuffle my feet instead of picking them up when I walk, removing all biteable cords, and keeping my feet on the bed and not the ground.

This is going to be great!!!
