Alice

Jimdesu and I would like to announce the arrival of a new member of our family. Her name is Alice and she is very small. She is also a kitten and, as such, cute.

Those of you who have met our other cats, Photon and Vespers, might be thinking that this is a risky move. After all, while Photon is sweet and good-natured and generally easy-going, Vespers is... not. That is why we'll be keeping young Alice away from Vespers for a little while. Photon will be officially introduced to Alice tonight under the auspices of nation building. Hopefully he and Alice can form a mini-UN before we introduce Vespers (whom, for the sake of this analogy, I will call North Korea) into the mix. Fingers crossed, but I have a good feeling about it. In the meantime, Jimdesu is doing some hard core bonding with Alice while I ooze love over Photon and Vespers. This will hopefully do two things: 1. It should help Phot and Vesp with any jealousy they may feel. 2. If Alice bonds strongly enough to Jimdesu, I won't be able to accidentally poach her like I did our other two cats, both of whom were supposed to love Jimdesu best. 

Here are Alice's stats:

1. She has a MASSIVE purr, even though  she's little - four months old and no more than a pound I'd say.

2. She is going to be a medium/long haired cat, although right now she looks like she's the constant victim of static electricity. She is a heavy-on-the-black torti and when you look at her from the right angle, her big dark eyes make her look like a goblin.

3. She has a teeeeeny, occasional meow. Jimdesu says that she sounds like a little lighthouse - meow........meow........ meow.......

4. She likes laser pointers, and is already a pretty decent pouncer.

I promise that I will post a picture of her as soon as I can. Hopefully that will be before she's all grown up :)

Welcome Alice!
