Cats (and a lizard), oh my!
It's been a while since I've posted anything! I've been pretty busy, but am currently snowed-in on a day off from work, and have some time.
In news, on December 26th I was unexpectedly landed with a new family member. It's a long story, but this is one of the three cats that belonged to Jae and Steph back when we used to share an apartment. I've always adored her, and when she needed a new home the day after Christmas, I took her in (and with only a couple of hours of advance notice, too). She's adapting well to the new environment - although the introductions did mean lots of hissing and growling and general cat unhappiness in my little one-bedroom apartment for a while there. She and MingMing have now settled into a mutual avoidance routine, for the most part, with only the occasional "Oh, yeah, I'm not happy you're here," hiss for the sake of appearances. Both have lived in multiple-cat homes before, so I have no doubt that they will eventually warm up to one another enough to cuddle up together.
Anyhow, without further delay, I present Kamikaze, also known as "Kami." (Previously known as "Dizzy," a name that I've always hated, and which she seemed quite happy to abandon - she responded to "Kami" without any hesitation.)
As you can see, Kami is a female orange tabby. She has beautiful, bold markings. It's a shame that she was fixed as a kitten - I'm not a big fan of cat breeding, and prefer to adopt kittens and cats that need homes, but I'm sure she would have produced some stunning offspring.
MingMing, as has been mentioned, is not thrilled. Still, she is as regal as ever.
Sadly, even the queen of the house can't be regal all of the time.
But then, Kami has her own less-than-dignified moments, so I suppose it's all equal in the end.
Also, Waldere is eating like a champion, and getting a bit chubby.
