Oh dear.

[wednesday_10_00]

So, this cat has been hanging around our house. For, like, several months. We've tried calling around to the Humane Society, and local vet offices, etc, but nobody seems to be missing such a cat. We tried to deny it as long as possible, but we're all softies and so we started feeding him (or her?) and have made an appointment to take him into the vet for a checkup. Yep, adoption is imminent. Supposedly, we'll be keeping him in the garage at first, but I doubt that will last long. Monique and Choco don't seem to mind him, so hopefully no problems there. (Maybe it will be good for Choco to have someone to play with?) Wednesday doesn't like him (she attacks the door when she sees him outside), but she's downstairs all the time anyway, so I don't think that'll be much of a problem. (Overly optimistic? Who, me?)

My parents want to call him Pumpkin, which is an okay name, I guess, except that they've been calling him Punky for short, which I'm not real fond of. So I'll open the floor here for any name suggestions and commiserations on the extreme catification of our home.

OMG O_O So pretty! Wow after a good bath that cat will be a lovely dreamsicle! :D

Waaa I want a kitty too :D but 4 kitties sounds like a lot but maybe choco will like them a lot!

I love how cats adopt people. Hanging around and looking cute is an almost foolproof method of securing yourself a devoted human. =D

So kyuuuute. I am jealous of your cat population.

Call him "Pie" for a nickname.

Aieeee so cuuuuuuute! I'm afraid I can't help with the naming, but congrats on the new cat. xD

So adorable! He looks like a Cinnamon to me. He/she? Can't you get close enough to peep under the tail?

Maybe having another cat in the mix will actually help defuse the Wednesday/Choco hostilities. (I'm over there in Unrealistic Optimism land with you.) Has Monique been around this whole time? Your parents' cat? I don't remember hearing about her before!

You'll get no commiserations from me because I'm JEALOUS. I really want to catify my home more, but with one FIV+ cat, I'm reluctant to bring others into the mix. I've thought of adopting more FIV+ cats, but that kinda feels like looking for heartbreak.

I lack a cat icon, so here's a fish.

How could a kitty that beautiful get separated from its humans? And how did your family manage to hold out this long? I'm glad he's found a good home with you...even if the 'rents insist on calling him Pumpkin/Punky.

What does his fur feel like? Does he like people? I wish I weren't allergic.
