After we lost Chicory, we knew that having only 2 pets was just WAY too sedate for our household. Within a couple of days, Mike was asking how one went about finding a new cat, since our first two basically found us. I contacted a friend of mine who works at a shelter in Tracy, CA and she said they had a little black male kitten who might be good for us.
The kids and I headed out there (it's about an hour east of us - depending on traffic) to meet him and the rest is history! We had to wait to bring him home because the shelter won't release unneutered animals, so he had his surgery on Wednesday, my friend picked him up for us and took him to her house yesterday, and we got him from her today. He's got a kitty cold right now, so we have to keep him away from our other cat, Beignet (who is 20), and be diligent about washing hands after handling him. He's also staying mainly in a crate in our living room until he stops sneezing for the same reason. When she's not around, though, we let him out to hang out on the couch with us or explore the kitchen.
He still doesn't have a name, so we're taking suggestions for New Orleans-themed names for him. He's currently about 2 1/2 pounds, he's got solid black, medium-length fur, and he's about 4 months old. Feel free to send us your ideas!
I'm sure you'll be hearing more about this little guy very soon. I can already see the potential for videos involving him and Zatarain.

So many naming possibilities:
ReplyDeleteMonde (he's black, like the coffee. And, it's a perfect pairing with Beignet).
Zapf (still love the cajun chips)
Frenchie.
Bourbon.
Levee (sorry).
Jason
I'll have to think about a name. :) But...who's a copy "cat" now???? Except for the gender thing, of course. He's precious and I'm sure LOTS of laughs. I know ours are!!!!
