CASA De AWESOME gets a CAT!!

There is a cat that visits us, we learn that it's our backyard neighbor's (we asked people who she belonged to because we seriously considered kidnapping her) and that her name is Lila  (I still don't believe that the huge tuxedo of a cat is a girl, but there you go.) and she LOVES our driveway. Soaking up the heat from the pavement, and scratching her back (which involves this weird crab walk/roll down the hill of a driveway) And Danni actually likes her. (She's very particular on our furry four legged brethren.) I see my opportunity and 2nd3rd Roommate, and Danni agree. Case de Awesome is in search for a cat

Mr. Salt and Mrs Pepper,
 I might have to adopt Leela. How do you feel about that?

Steve,
Do you want her just because she's named after a Futurama character?

RE: Blues Clues
We just figured out Blue's clues (for a VERY long time I thought she was a boy.)
 Had a dream lastnight with my brother in it.
In it he said I needed to get a cat named "Highlander"
What does that mean? How did I make that up in my head?
 'Cause we're really smart. ("Official story": Joe went to college on a Hopscotch scholarship. Real Story: Joe was fired for being hopped up on scotch)

 Doug, 
Hey. This 'fostering' cat thing is the most complicated/strangest thing ever.
Why can't they just have a pound. The other one we went to was nice.
Anyway this lady told me "I'll cross my fingers that you meet the cat of your dreams"
Don't get me wrong I love animals but they take their job a little too seriously.
 ANYWAY
 I emailed saying that I (we) would like to see Abby, Pinot, Egypt, and Leela.
-> Note you don't have to go, you can be as little or as much as involved as you want.
(lol that made it sound like you were the baby daddy. 'Ive decided I'm having this baby, and you can be involved as much as you like')
I got a response immediately and apparently Abby is a "courtesy listing"; they will write to her owner to see if she's still available.
Weird.
She will contact the rest of the foster homes of the cats. They will compare my schedule with theirs and will contact me and invite me to visit and meet the cats.
 I'm already overwhelmed.
 So what do you think, are you gonna be part of this baby's life or not?

 Hi Tracey,
We are the foster home with Egypt.  She is a fabulous cat!  She's long and lean and very regal.  She also loves people, petting and playing.  Egypt is here with her kittens, a girl Nile and boy Pharaoh, and she's fostering two other, Tom and Jerry.  She must be quite young.  She likes to play almost as much as they do. When would you like to set up a time to meet her?
-CatFosterMom

After 3 months of an exhaustive search and application process (I'm not exaggerating when I say applying for college was easier and faster than this was) we found her, Egypt!!!!
-However, we didn't think the name suited her, but we wanted to keep the same motif, so her full name is: Queen Cleopatra, High Priestess of the Egyptian Nile River
We call her Cleo.
or Cleopatra Comin' Atcha
or FOXY Cleopatra
or Miss Cleo
or Kitty
or MeowMeow
or FartFace

She doesn't really respond to anything but cat treats
and sometimes Fartface.
