I love Taj

He has been called Taj now for 24 hours, so that's his name.
We've had Taj for two days, and I'm considering asking my boss if I can take caternity leave.

Here are my reasons:

* He kept me up half the night last night, crying

* I worry constantly about how much he's eating, weeing and pooing

* If I'm not paying attention to him he screams

* He wants a brother

* David says we bought more stuff for his homecoming than for any of our three children

* I think he cost as much as a human hospital birth

* He has to be supervised because he puts inappropriate things in his mouth, like dust and thumbtacks

* He is absolutely adorable and I don't want to leave him

He is absolutely hilarious. His temperament and personality are so not like that of a normal cat. When my husband was washing up, Taj accidentally stood in the hot sudsy water and didn't mind one bit. When we open the fridge Taj stands up and tries to see what's on the shelf. He is a very good kisser. He talks all the time. He loves to play. He's adorable.

We're hoping he'll settle in a few days without his litter-mates, otherwise we may have to adopt another child - I mean Bengal - soon.
