Kitty tales.

For awhile now, I've been thinking that Bashokitty needs a friend. I guess the idea got started before he finally decided that he liked home better than outside. I was originally thinking that *I* needed a kitty to play with when bashokitty was going on his three day long constitutionals.

Then Zac's cat had kittens. Of course, bashokitty was gone for more than a week when I said, "sure, I'll take one when they're weened." Then bashokitty came back. I started thinking "Maybe basho needs a buddy. Maybe he wants to take off all the time because he gets bored while I'm at work and there's all kinds of stray and outside kitties in my neighborhood. Maybe if he had a friend, he'd want to stay home more."

Night before last, I brought home a new kitten. I thought it was a girl when I picked it out, but teenage son informed me that he's a boy. Still he's so small surely bashokitty will realize he's no threat right?

Wrong. Very wrong. Apparently bashokitty spent 24 hours not knowing for sure weither to attack kitten or run away from kitten. To kitten's credit - he holds his own. He came from a largish litter and Zac has a big ole dog that corralled the kittens all the time.

Yesterday afternoon bashokitty attacked toad and I both. Not playing gone awry - he was pissed and in attack mode. He's calmed down some now. I think eventually it'll work out ok.

I wonder what to name the new kitten. He's all orange tabby like bashokitty but with less white. I'm concidering Butterscotch. Toad's concidering Miss Kitten. He seemes unconcerned that kitten is in fact, male. I have an odd not my boyfriend.
