Maybe I should call her Pope Francis

We found a friend.



She's 4 and not one bit shy.  We spent some time in the bathroom and she's all set up there with food and water and litter but she was so mellow about it and so curious that when she escaped, I let her go.  She's now roaming around checking out every single thing.

She attacked the toys I took into the bathroom.  She's not so impressed with the laser or the yarn ball.  She sniffed the flower arrangement and then moved on.  She's a climber.  I expect I'll start hearing stuff being knocked off or down pretty soon.

Betty is under the table watching very carefully.  The new kitty, when she spies Betty, she hisses.  This is exactly what Betty did whenever she saw Jake for the first month.  She also did the same hiss on Travis.  At least neither appears to be interested in attacking the other.

The new kitty needs a nail trim - badly.  But I think I'll wait until tomorrow.

Her name is Zoe but I'm not wild about that name.  I'm not sure if I'll change it or not and if I do, what I'd change it to.

I got her at the Seattle Animal Shelter - same place I got both Betty and Travis.  A Petco opened up nearly next door and after I looked at the shelter cats and couldn't find one, I went to Petco.  This one stood up immediately and begged me to come pet her.  She let me hold her immediately.  She has an active and loud purr which is kind of jarring in a really good way.  Betty does not purr at all.

Now new kitty is on top of the kitchen cabinets and Betty is on the floor and they are discussing living arrangements.

Aw, what a little love! She reminds me of my Binxie cat (before her tail had to be amputated, and she got chubby.)

Good on you doll, for giving her the chance to adopt you and your gang. :-)

What a cutey!

She is a beauty.

Adorable! I hope she's cuddly!

She is just so gorgeous! What a lovely lady. She'd be a fine Frances. Of course, then when you talk to people about Betty and Frances they'd think you were talking about a couple of old broads who love strong drink and smokes and have a fondness for card games.

So pretty! Glad you found a new kitty!

I always loved vocal cats, be it loud purring or a nice mrowr when s/he needed something. Awesome choice.

She's very pretty :)

She's lovely. Francis is amusing. Or how about Frankie? ;)
I hope she and Betty soon get things sorted out.

In honor of all your failed attempts to choose a new cat, I say name her Fumo Nero. Or just Smokey. ;-)

She looks tiny - 7 lbs or so?

Loud purrs are good, one reason I adopted Kaan. And he jumped right up and head butted me.

Sounds like a winner, have fun!

Oh, so you opted for another gal after all? She's beautiful.

Congrats on the new, furry family member. May Betty and her new sister soon learn to share you--better than my sisters and I ever learned to share OUR Mom! ;~)

Congratulations!
