Family addition

A couple of months ago, my boss asked me if I was interested in adopting a kitten. A stray that likes to hang out in his backyard was going to have kittens. R had already asked me to keep an eye out for kittens because said he was ready for a cat (whatever). Because I'm a bleeding heart deep down, I told my boss we'd take it.

A few weeks later, he said the kitten was ready for his new home. I arranged for R to pick him up, but then my neighbors freaked and accused my Golden Retriever of attacking them and nearly eating their yappy dog. They also threatened to kill our dog so I became worried about bringing a kitten home. My boss finally got tired of waiting for me and delivered the kitty to our house July 4. His coat reminded me of pepper, so we named him Pepper. It's not a boy cat name, but it's not like I'll call it anything but kitty. Anyway, I promised Jensational some pictures and I better post them before Pepper graduates from kitten to cat.

Sort of hiding from us after being home for four days.

I read that cats will lie on a sheet of paper (blanket, towel, etc.) even if it's on the floor because they think the difference in color means there is a height difference. Weird.

Something only spry young'uns can do.

R won't let me or Dan'l nap on the sofa, but the kitten
is special, I guess.

This is a more recent photo. I thought the different prints might confuse him, but it just made him sleepy.
