You're welcome! It's true though! You've got quite a talent! :)

He really was a sweetheart! His fur was quite nice... except for the shedding. The shedding was a little difficult to handle. In spite of that, I plan to get another long haired cat. But that probably won't be for a while. Until then, I have youtube.

I love Pitt!! I transfered here after I got my associates and it's only my first semester, but I really, really like it. Living in the city is so fun! And you obviously are talented if you managed to get into grad school for art!

Oh man, I understand. We also have two Golden Retrievers and their fur can be out of control sometimes! I've always had shorthaired cats, so I've never had to deal with a lot of routine brushing. My friend has a Ragdoll though and if you don't brush poor Helix's pantaloons at least once a week they'll start to get all knotted.

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying Pitt! There are a lot of fun things to do here in Pittsburgh and it's awesome to have a chance to experience it. PFFFT no, hahaha. I don't think Carlow had much criteria, but I'm flattered you'd think so (XD

Aww! I had a golden retriever growing up! They're one of my favourite breeds of dogs. I have such a bad soft spot for them. But I had one long haired cat before I got my maine coon, so I was used to brushing him. It was the rule that if I got him, I had to brush him. He always hated it though. OMG PANTALOOOOONS. I love cats that look like they're wearing pantssssss!! Seriously. I thought I only called them them. >_< I read it in a book once and was like, "that is too cute."

I really enjoy living in the city, but I'm looking forward to the holidays so I can go home. I live about an hour north of the city... in the country XD A lot of my friends who want to go to a university of science ended up going to Carlow, so I think it has pretty high standards and a lot of impressive programs! I've been there once. I read a book about Dorian Grey haha.

If you'd like, maybe sometime after the finals and holidays, we could hang out? If you're not comfortable with that, I'd totally understand, but just suggesting!

They're such a wonderful breed :') We had a Newfie growing up then our second dog was a golden, but we've always been large dog people.

Good for you! It can be intimidating with fur that long. All of our cats have been short haired so I luck out and only need to give her a brush once a week or so :]

AHHHHhhh!! Noooo I totally do it too! XD My friends and I all call them pantaloons haha~

I'm in the same boat. I live about 15-20 minutes north of actual Pittsburgh, but it's a quick and relatively painless drive if I ever need to go to/through the city for a Pens game or Kennywood in the summer. I'm glad I don't live in the actual city itself, but then again I've always been a fan of the woods and quiet.

That'd be neat! I'm never uncomfortable with meeting up ♥ It's more that I'm a royal pain in the butt when it comes to travel. I have pretty frequent hospital visits and don't have a car of my own (I graciously share one with my Mom) so I'm often without transportation. But! That doesn't mean that a time wouldn't eventually pop up where it would be possible :D

I just think my dog should be substantially larger than my cats. With this being said, all of my cats are massive. So, I like bigger dogs. My dad has a brittany and I think she's kind of small. When we first got her, Dimitri was bigger than her haha.

I love long-haired cats so much. I just love how they feel. I've had short-haired cats too, but I just... Dimitri set the bar for every cat. Now every cat is not fluffy enough, or not big enough, haha.

I actually love living in the city! I wish I lived further in town. But I really, really miss my country home sometimes. Maybe I just miss my bed.

Really? I mean, if you live outside the city, I'd be more than happy to meet you somewhere closer to your home. I'm sure I could catch a bus there. Pitt students get free passes 8) I'm in Oakland everyday, so I can walk to Carlow, no problem. Let me know your schedule and we can hang out! :)

Hahaha I know what you mean XD Growing up my family had a Newfoundland and I used to think she was a black bear when I was little haha~ (and I apologize if I've already said this, I don't mean to be repeating myself like a goob. I only come to DA once every week or so, so I know I've made our conversation a bit disjointed which I apologize for.)

Fluffy cats are so wonderful :') My best friend has a ragamuffin and he's a massive, 25 lb fluffy beast. He's the most sweet, affectionate lug though- I love him to death. We even joke around and call him my "boyfriend" haha XD

I went to college dead in the city of Baltimore and I always missed here so much. There's something about Pittsburgh I love, even with the often horrible weather. Maybe it's because I don't mind rain?

I do! :] I live about 15 minutes north in the North Hill-ish area (leaving it a bit vague publicly on DA, but I will gladly share with you if/when we meet for a lunch and chat!) My actual house is tucked into the woods and I love the peace and quiet. That was one of the most jarring things about going for my undergrad in the city of Baltimore, everything was always so loud! I will ♥ Things are a bit hectic right now with a loss in the family, but once things settle I'll gladly message you with how my schedule normally goes :>
