Per my post yesterday, we got a kitten. I had seen that the Feral Cat rescue group was going to be at Petsmart yesterday, and I needed cat food anyway, so we went down there in the morning to see if they had kittens. The rescue group wasn't there yet, but in the Petsmart adoption area, there were two 8-week old kittens from the Brazos Valley Animal Shelter, one boy and one girl. We had already decided we needed a boy, because we think Tasha will accept a boy more readily than a girl. So that was that.
I really didn't expect to get a kitten yesterday, I thought we'd have to wonder around town a lot more and go more places and be disappointed, etc.
The kitten was picked up as a stray and not well socialized, but very much inclined to be socialized. Through the morning and early afternoon there was a lot of scampering away and playing, and then after some food and the second nap he discovered that being petted by your own personal human is a very good thing. Since then there's been lots of cuddling and purring.
The other cats are still angry and horrified, so that's going to take a while to settle down. But, yay, kitty!!!
Oh, and we haven't picked a name yet. It took a couple of weeks to name Tasha, so that's not unusual.
