More Kitty News

We named the kitten Machen after the writer. It is, perhaps, a twisted name to given to a kitten, but it's a lot of fun to say. We considered naming him Poe, but that rhymes with 'no' and that would have confused him. He hears 'no' often enough as it is. 
As you can see in the picture, he is gray and white. He has a little white splotch on his back in the midst of all the gray fur. He has white splotches in his ears and they are the most delightful things. 

He and the older cat are still not getting along. She's calming down somewhat, though she did run out of the house last night in some kind of protest. It's colder though she came back. She always comes back when she runs outside. 

Right now he's stretched out over my leg sleeping. When he wakes up, he'll be a kitten menace for a while, then go back to sleep. He's eating well and thriving over all.
