She is a little like Morgana although her eyes are actually brown (think Morgana's were yellow). We're not sure whether she'll be long or short haired yet, she can't seem to make her mind up! Just booked her in to have her booster shots so that could cause ructions.

Her and Loki seem to be getting on now, usually Pixel chases Loki out of the room and up the stairs then Loki chases Pixel down the stairs and back into the room. This is a particular favourite around 4am when they mange to sound like an entire herd of wildebeest

That's not a Cat, Pixie.. it's ... a gremlin? A Bat? Oh.. I forgot.. they grow into the ears, don't they? It's been a few years since I had a baby cat in the house.

My last kitten now weighs about 20 pounds. Her name is Nuala but everyone here calls her 'La Gorda' for obvious reasons. She is the Daughter AND Grandaughter of a Marmalade Tom who ruled this neighborhood for 15 years. (Kitty cat Incest don't ya know) We all called him GingerCat. His various offspring are still running around all over the place but most have been adopted and neutered/spayed so their numbers are dwindling.

La Gorda's Mom Was called Spawn of GingerCat until she had kittens and we realized she was a girl. She met a nice neutured male, got a collar, spayed and moved away to live happily ever after, we assume. La Gorda's two brothers from the same litter are both on the street still. Their names are Hitler and Lucifer! The two boys and La Gorda form a little gang whose main mission in life appears to be regularly beating crap out of cat we call LURK.. a Black Fluffy cat who lurks about at night.

As a whole, we call the collective spawn of GingerCat - the Wild Tribe of Ginger cats and the babies are referred to as Gingersnaps. I kinda miss that old Tom. My fat cat, his daughter/grandaughter looks and acts just like him. No wonder - she has an extra helping of his DNA!   She sweet at times but awfully ornery and has the loudest purr I've ever heard. Only thing is - she purrs mostly out of self-satisfaction and not in response to anything you might to such as pet her! We love her. She is best buddies with the Epileptic Alsatian. Frick and Frack they are.

Enough of my cat issues....

Pixel is pretty cute! I will tell the parents of dear-departed Pixel that a new cat is carrying on the tradition. Their cat was also named affter the Heinleinian cat.

best wishes to you and Pixel and to LTS and her new squeaker. What did he wind up with for a name? I missed that somehow.

He wound up with Raven.... we resisted the temptation to call him 'Sabbath' or Ozzie, or Edie... (he's black and we got him on a Sunday).... although at the moment he's being called 'the tiddler' for obvious reasons... rapidly diminishing to 'Tiddles'....

I can't believe I have a cat called Tiddles!
