Looks like we're getting a new housemate tomorrow. 


He's bitey, spunky, and fun. We filed the paperwork a couple weeks ago, and finally, tomorrow, we can pick him up. 

This means two weeks of Cat Introduction. Hope he likes us. 

We stopped by the Northeast Philly PAWS building today, so Mo could get her annual vaccines, and we could do the final paperwork. It's a beautiful shelter, lots of windows in the adoption rooms, very clean, lots of cat perches. I took Mo out of her crate and held her to walk around. She purred a lot, and sniffed at a friendly orange & white boy named Rubio, who was quite enamored of her. But we're committed to this stripey boy. 

We're planning to name him Thrym, The King of Jotunheim, although a close second was Benedict Thundercat.

He is adorable.
Benedict Thundercat is SO PERFECT but it's OK because you'll find a friend to take that one.
Really, we have to wait until we get more of a sense of his personality before pinning him with a name for all time. Or at least until he gets a million nicknames. But this guy's got moxie, so he needs a name that reflects it.

Thrym is The Giant In-Joke of Jarnsaxa Rising. You'll hear him in Episode 6.
Speaking of which, I finally listened to all four episodes released thus far. Made my housecleaning vastly more interesting.
I wonder what the ratio of cats to amazing cat names actually is?
He's perfect. Congrats! He reminds me so much of my foster kitties.
He looks like a terror.
Enjoy.
We asked if his ear was tipped. They said, "No, he came in that way, we think he lost it in a fight."

He just needs a pirate earring to complete the look.
