A new de vlieg

We have been talking for a while about adding to our family. No, not a little Wen-Shu just yet, but rather another cat. Why exactly is hard to say, but if we can help out another street cat all the better. So a couple weeks back, on a Sunday, we headed down to the local SPCA to see what they had avaiable. Sadly, we did not have all the paperwork in order at the time, so left a little heartbroken and kittenless. I have been keen on getting a grey tabby for a while and they had the cutest little kitten.

Finaly this week we got our paperwork into some form of shape and had a moment to spare when we could get to the SPCA together during the day. Work has been mad for me and Wen-Shu has been grinding out the hours, and coffee beans recently, so it took some scheduling, but we managed to get a chance today.

Shame, my poor wife did not want to face a room full of needy cats knowing we could only take one home, so the choosing was left up to me. I wanted two things: A grey tabby, and a young cat. Our two other cats are very well established and we needed a kitten so it could grow up knowing its place in the pecking order, rather than an older cat that our two nearest and dearest felines would have to adapt around.
I found a little grey tabby a few months old. A male with medium length hair, so not perfect, but full of spunk and personailty and we have since adopted him and named him Java. He is presently meowing and complaining locked away in the bathroom. We are introducing him slowly to the royal highnesses that rule the house and I have been spending a lot of time with Oreo (and around Butter, she doesn't like me too close!) to try and alay their fears. This is not the first cat we have brought in to meet them. Over the years they have had another cat, Santa who staywith us for a good few months, as well as visits by a kitten, a dog and a rabbit.

Lets hope they all get on well!
