Yup, there is a new kitten in my house.
My SO and I have been discussing for months whether or not to add a second cat to the household. There was a lot of back and forth, a lot of tempting possible cats, but we were always able to "shake them off" and not be tempted.
That is until last Thursday. I do give my birds a seed/nut mix on top of pellets and fresh food (believe in diverse diet) and our regular seed mix was back-ordered, so he had replaced it with another food mix from the same company. However, the items in this alternate mix were too large for Piper, so on Thursday night, I sent him to get some more size appropriate seeds for Piper. This meant going to the local pet store which also carries cats for adoption from the local Humane Society. SO took pictures of all the cats that were there, but took more pictures of this one kitten and when he came back home, he was quite excited...we both kept thinking of this particular kitten overnight and all day Friday, so on Friday after work, we went to see it...and ended up bringing it home.
I guess I can now say that the SO finally was the biggest reason for a new addition to the pet family
The kitten was 13 weeks when we adopted her. The Humane Society had named her Heidi, but the name just doesn't seem right, so we are now 99% sure of changing it to Arya.
We have started slowly introducing her to Zelly. So far, Zelly doesn't seem too impressed with the little one. Other than a few hisses here and there, if the kitten gets too close, she's not shown any sign of aggression and just looks at her play.
She is a "talker" though; whereas it took us years to hear Zelly meow from time to time (we adopted her when she was four years old), this one meows for everything. It's quite the difference.
Anyways, here are some pictures (take with cell phone, excuse poor quality).
