Kitteh with no name! Not for much longer
Aug. 21st, 2006 12:30 pmWe're at day three with the new kitten and have learned much about his personality. He's quite self-sufficient, although he loves company. He has bonded liek woah to
lilacsigil and bellows for her when she's out of sight. He has a voice! He can bellow like a buffalo! It's very strange to hear that level of sound coming out of a kitten that can sit on my hand. He's physically affectionate, and rolls around on our feet. We're locking him up at night so that the other cats don't beat up on him, and last night, he wrecked the joint - he kicked litter out of his tray, tore up the newspaper, and spilt kibble everywhere.
Anyway, the upshot of this is that just like Baggins, he's named himself, and just like Baggins, it was a name that we hadn't previously considered. I did promise a poll, so I thought maybe you'd like to guess what his name is. His name is in alphabetical series with the other cats (Aeon, Baggins, and now C...)

New Kitten!
Aug. 19th, 2006 11:40 pmWe picked up our new kitten today, from Anne, the breeder who gave us Baggins. Bags is seven months old now, and we've realised he's going to be a bit high-energy for Aeon, so we reserved a kitten from Ann's new litter.
The kitten we chose was the most active in the litter - he kept playing with the kitty toy long after the other three kittens had decamped to the fireplace for a snooze. He was very clever, and made strategies to gain possession of the bouncy toy, which was on elastic; he took it between his teeth and walked away with it in a very determined manner. He's a chocolate point tonk, and his eyes are blue. (I've got some photos to post, but I haven't removed the red eyes; blue eyes photograph red with a flash.) Predictably, the household is in turmoil; Aeon is taking it quite well, but Baggins is appalled, which surprises me, since he's from a much bigger family, and is much better socialised. He crawled into bed and pretended to be dying.
Anyway, kitten has no name. And
likeadeuce said that we should have a poll. I don't know, and I've never done a poll before, so I've made a poll about making a poll. And there's some photos behind the cut.
