New Addition

So back in March Twin 2 and her husband had to put down one of their kitties, Dweeble, unexpectedly. 

Ever since then her husband has been wanting a new orange kitten.  Their other cat Lou has been enjoying having the house and attention to himself so they waited a bit.  

Last Friday her husband got the call that a 10 week old orange male was up for adoption.  Their vacation was just starting so they figured it was a good opportunity to get a new kitten as they would be home all week.  So Friday night at around 8:00 p.m. they brought the new addition home and introduced him to Lou.  

After almost a week together Lou is still not a fan.  They can now be in the same room together but it was touch and go there for a few days.  The kitten loves Lou but Lou doesn't reciprocate.  Hopefully one day they will be semi-friends.

His name was just picked out yesterday right before the vet appointment.  Multiple names were tried but they just didn't fit him.  The final choice was between Chedder or Gilbert.  Gilbert was the winning name.  

You forget what a kitten is like when you haven't had one for years.  Lou is 10 years old and Dweebs was 8 years old when he died so it's been awhile.  Twin 2's husband wants to move out of the house until Gilbert is grown.  He can't deal with Gilbert running around and getting into everything, Twin 2 yelling at Gilbert and Lou hissing and swatting at Gilbert.  Fun times.

   But he's just so cute!
