A New Addition to the Family January 20, 2008

Oh, don’t worry. There will be no surprise pregnancy announcements on this blog. Last time I checked you need sperm and eggs for that, and given the whole azoospermia thing plus the fact that I haven’t ovulated since before Adam’s FET there’s no chance of that happening around here.

No, I’m referring to our new furry member of the family. His name is Winston, and he’s a 6.5 month old sweetie. He’s only been here 24 hours, but he’s quickly making himself at home.

I’d almost forgotten what it’s like to have a young cat around. He’s got a ton of energy and is already showing off his personality.

Salvador isn’t exactly happy that he’s got a new brother, but I know that he’ll come around soon. It actually hasn’t been that bad. Salvador’s shared a few words with Winston, but there has been no fighting or slapping. Earlier today Salvador was following Winston’s every move. I have a feeling they’ll be playmates soon enough.

I’m really impressed with how quickly Winston is acclimating. He’s explored the house top to bottom already and has staked out a favorite spot behind the big TV in the living room. He’s a very friendly and sweet cat and is good with Adam. Adam has already grabbed a handful of fur petted Winston, and Winston didn’t bat an eye. I think he’s going to fit in quite nicely.

Delurking to say that Winston looks nearly identical to my cat, Buster, that I had growing up! Aw, I miss my Buster now! He was such a lover kitty.
