here is our adorable new kitty.
i took these with my camera, so i don’t have any formal portraits yet. we can’t think of a name. any suggestions would be appreciated.
meanwhile, i now realize why everybody was so intent and focused and barking the other night before new kitty came into our lives. i was over at amy and jim’s house last friday night, watching their dogs, and everybody kept looking over at our house.
mollie was especially riled up, but i didn’t see anything. now i know that the poor little new kitty was trying to find a safe place.
he’s in the hot tub room til he gets fixed on tuesday, and then he’ll be in there for three more weeks til the hormones die down. everybody else is keeping very very close watch on him. mollie and les are generally pretty relaxed about it. here they are, trying to keep their eyes open as they watch the kitty show.
i wish i had a picture of winnie, though – he’s almost always in the bedroom now, on mollie’s bed, or more likely, he’s at the window to the hot tub room, either sitting there staring at New, or he’s POUNDING on the glass. i mean, POUNDING, over and over, like some deranged kitty. winston really really wanted to get at that kitty.
besides spending lots of time in his quarantine room with New, i also have to take les paul out on his leash, because whenever i even get up he’s at the door, frantically squawking that he is DESPERATE TO GET OUTSIDE. so i put him on his leash and he sits around a lot in the yard.
this is a spot that he like a lot, because he can get a good view of any lake action there might be.
he’s also ready to pounce on anything that might be in the grass. whenever winnie is also out, he follows us around. mollie does, too, except she usually stays farther up in the yard near the house. if i try to get mollie to come closer, i call and whistle, which make winnie come right over to me and start pawing at me. he kind of thinks he’s a dog.
les loves to drape himself over different hard things – he’s lying on the computer table legs, and he loves to sleep with his head resting on the coffee table legs. the other day he was sprawled over the top of a bedside clock. he’s a very, very funny little guy and i hope he and new k. will get along.
i was sitting down by the dock the other day and had to take this picture because i’m always trying to capture the complete beauty and stillness of the place. i can’t do it justice, especially not with my camera phone.
i must must MUST get to work on my videos of our trip…
ok then,
mrs. very busy lately hughes.
