So... tonight, my best friend and I were going for a walk and I was really peeved. I'd gotten into it with the spousal unit over dinner and we'd both stormed off in a huff. Best friend and I get to the edge of the Rec. Area where we walk and my knee starts to throb. We decide to head back because we've walked pretty far and it's getting dark. At the bridge, we stop to admire the moon, which is halfway to full and looking orange and beautiful in the sky. All of the sudden we see a little animal coming toward us. Is it a cat or a skunk, we debate. I call out, "here kitty kitty kitty..." she comes running. S he goes down into the creek trying to get to us so i walked out to the edge and called her again. She ran right into my arms. The poor girl is just a baby and half-starved. You could floss your teeth with her she's so skinny. I petted her and loved her, she started purring like mad. She crawled up on my shoulders and circled around back into my arms. I put her down and we start to walk, she follows and climbs up my pants mewwing and mewwing to be picked upa gain. She's barely more than a kitten, probably about 3-4 months old and she's starving. So... long story short, Jenny brought her home, husband said Awwe, kid said AWWWe, Moucifer said BOOOO HISSSS, but we're keeping the new baby on the back porch for a few days until they get used to the idea of each other. Don't want lots of catfights all night while I"m sleeping.

We named her Minerva McGonagall after the Professor that transfigures into a Tabby Cat in the harry potter stories and I've already snapped off half a roll of film full of pictures of her. They should be developed by this weekend. She's beautiful and already very happy with us. Everyone please send Moucifer the love your new baby sister vibes, because she is very jealous and does not play well with others EVER!
