We are Now Owned by a Cat
At the beginning of the summer, Zach expressed a desire to add a kitty to our family. I actually like cats, they’re pretty low maintenance, we’ve just been a dog family for quite some time.
This morning we went to the Kitsap Humane Society and played with kitties. We came home with a lovely, outgoing, playful little brown tabby boy that’s going to give Zach a run for his money. We named him Pippin, a Lord of the Rings reference.
No word yet on how the Complaint Department (that would be Panda) will do with him. We’ll introduce them tomorrow, on leash, one at a time. I don’t think they’re aware he’s in the house today, he’s living in Zach’s room for now.
He’s a firecracker, though, and I think he’ll handle two small, not-especially-bright mutts just fine.

Congratulations. He’s adorable (and well named).

And now the True Purpose of the Internet has been revealed to you — posting pictures of cats. (grin)

He’s is a cute cat, and I like the name.

Adorable kitten, he’s all ears!
My only concern is that he will live up to his name…I seem to recall that Merry & Pippin were always getting into something!

Peregrine Took lived to a ripe old age and was a delight and terror to the younger hobbits of the Shire.
I’m sure Pippin will manage to do the same.

Awwww What a handsome kitty..and a perfect name! He looks like my Stanley did when he was a kitten.

Soooo cute! And with those ears, he reminds me my beloved late cat Noel, who was nothing but ears when he was a kitten. He eventually grew into his ears, though. I’m sure Pippin will too!
