litheraWhy a turtle?
Well, turtles are cute. I like turtles. I have always had a fondness for them.
For awhile my happy thought was a little turtle (imagine the cute little turtle) who would make mecha-robot noises when he walked. Go on think about it. It's great. Whhhhhirrr-chunk. Whhhhhhrrrr-chunk. Kind of like AT&AT walking noises.
Turtles do not climb things, thus, consequently, they cannot fall from great heights unless they are dropped. I do not want to be worrying about a kitten deciding to take a leap off of my balcony.
Turtles live in tanks. They do not need to go outside or be walked. Marvelous that.
I could be happy watching a turtle walk around in his tank for hours on end. I would move things around and change the terrain. I would feed him bits of hamburger and lettuce.
That is why a turtle.
I would like a kitten, but right now, I'd be araid to let it near windows or anything else even faintly related to a possible fall.
