Saddest moment of my life...
I created myself an account, setup MetaMask, and somehow I convinced myself that I would start out with a kitty (mistakenly), but alas, all I was left with was a lot of kitten love, and no kitten in sight to share it with... ;(
follow me and keep commenting. You just might get one for free.
That's what I intend to do, and thank you for the tips. :)
