Meet our new cat! Interim name “Juicy”

”Juicy” has been friendly since we met which is why we chose her.

Here’s the big surprise that I finally got around to posting. Our new kitten! I think she still is because she’s under one and most cats don’t attain full adulthood until two; I remember Nemo continuing to get larger until he leveled off in early 2004.

Right now “Juicy” is living in Somara’s office assimilating to our house. Meanwhile the other three cats are bracing themselves for another “presence.” We did take a chance introducing Nemo first because he would like someone younger to play with. No dice, he hissed and sulked off. Currently, he’s still pouting over the loss of his “baby” status. Then Miette received a turn. She’s still aloof about “Juicy.” I knew she would react that way. Molly is the one we have to be the most cautious with. However, if the Alpha grew accustomed to Nemo and Miette in a week, the little black kitty someone abandoned at the Williamson County Animal Shelter will fit in.

I’ll be posting further adventures of our new kitty in due time, especially the little movie I hope to tweak together in iMovie along with a photo gallery via iWeb.

In the meantime, Somara and I are having a contest to rename our new cat. “Juicy” is her shelter name. I think it’s lame. After we finished the paperwork, I threw out several great names but Somara shot them down. Putting out a request from our friends, namely their children, was a better compromise. I’ll gladly field questions from children if they request assistance about “Juicy’s” behavior, tastes and etc. You’re free to post the names in the Comments or you can e-mail me.

Good luck and I think we’ll be accepting suggestions until May 12. I’m willing to go longer but “Juicy” is technically Somara’s cat so it depends upon her.
