Kittens!

With the recent passing of one of our beloved cats, my wife and I felt a sort of emptiness in our live and worried that the surviving cat, Joey Jo-Jo Jr. Shabadoo, was becoming depressed.  For these reasons we decided that it would be best to add another cat to the family.  Selecting another cat that would be compatible with Joey Jo-Jo was a challenge.  Although Joey is a fairly big male cat (fixed too), he is very easily intimidated.  When I put on my shoes, he runs away.  When we open an outer door, he runs away.  When someone new enters the house he disappears.  You get the picture.  For that reason, we felt it would be better to get a younger cat that would be more open to other cats and wouldn't frighten Joey.  However, we were also very aware that younger cats can be a little annoying to older cats, so we decided that it would be best for us to get two kittens.

The boy-cat on the left is named Patrick and the girl cat (right) is Rihanna.

 We contacted a friend of ours who rescues stray cats and soon had two new very young kittens.  Initially, they had a lot of different illnesses and parasites to overcome, but, after a lot of medicines and good food, they are now healthy and big enough to be introduced to Joey Jo-Jo.  As I am finishing this entry (April 20th) we are going to introduce them to Joey tonight.  I hope things go well
