A new addition to our family

Tomorrow, we are collecting our new Bengal kitten from a breeder somewhere near Kowloon. We are all looking forward to this incredibly. I won't say that the cat will replace Alex, who goes off to college in the US in a couple of weeks. I also won't say it will fill the gap left by the Ormsby's. But it will be distracting and fun.

Bengal cats are loaded with personality. Look them up on youtube. Ours is a golden colour with beautiful rosettes. We are tempted to get two, but they're a bit expensive.... and if they turn your house upside down the way everyone says, maybe one is all we can deal with straight up.

I think that thinking about the cat also contributed to my non-sleeping last last. We have been throwing around names for our golden boy, and here are some possibilities:

Zeus is the frontrunner. We all like it, but we're not completely decided. I also like Hercules and Mordecai. Rachel also likes Louis, Cucumber and Oliver. Alex is in favour of Burger and Pogo. Hugo is sleeping at someone else's house, so that reduces the name confusion a bit. David still likes Bangalor Torpedo, since he never got to name one of our kids that....

Pictures coming soon!
