Introducing River/Whisper/Myles/Picabo. His name is still to be determined, but we’ll nail it down soon. Sophie’s over the moon that we finally gave-in to her wish for a house pet that’s not confined to a cage. We promised her that upon our return from China we would have a family meeting to discuss the matter, and she pleaded her case (I promise I’ll be more responsible, I’ll keep my room clean, etc. etc. So pleeeezzz?). We visited a local shelter last Saturday and there he was, the featured pet on display in the main lobby’s pen. Love at first sight for Sophie. We spent time with three other kittens, each with their own lovable personality, but there was no denying that River/Whisper/Myles/Picabo was the one. Fortunately, we were queued ahead of another trailer-trash family with a bratty kid who was also eyeing him. When the little snot started banging on the acrylic walls to get the kitty’s attention, Sophie’s was eager to claim her pet ASAP.
At just three months old he’s a cute little tabby with broad white streaks crossing through his grey and white stripes. After exploring every nook and cranny in the house, he’s quite snuggly with all of us. So much so that he’s trying to walk over my keyboard as I write this post. I’m pretty sure he’s a Mac guy.
