Kittens

We're off into the equinox gales to see the little kitten I'm getting from a friend in the country in a few weeks. She's the one I got Claudia from, and she also now breeds Bengals who are spotty and leopard-like, but out of our price range (and also liable to be nicked). We're getting another Burmese because Greg likes them and Claudia may be more welcoming to a kitten who is slightly related, but I'd like the next one to be from The Lonely Miaow charity.

There will be kitten picspam tomorrow.

Jassy? Ours will be Jasmin, the only name in a long list I made that Greg also liked. [worries a bit] I do hope she gets on with both of the adults. We're getting her now because Claudia misses Tessa so much.

We got the name from (IIRC) a Nancy Mitford book. If we do get another sometime, I've told Sis I'd like to call it Sylvie or Bruno.

Oh they got on after the first week or so, no problem - Jassy made friends with Lacey long before she deigned to forgive US (I think it was the principle or some such feline idea)

This is something that bothers me. Claudia is quite clingy right now, and I'd hate for her to resent us, though we're getting the kitten as a friend for her. She was annoyed when Tessa arrived, but they became the best of friends, but she was never quite as close to us as she'd been on her own. It's really hard to know what to do for the best.

I wanted Lisa but Greg said it was too close to Tessa. The next one will be Lisa or Lucy, depending on colour.
