We have a new kitten!

We do. As well as a new furnace. Whew! Our wood insert barely kept up. Monday, we were taking it easy. Saturday, we looked at some kittens, Daisy needed a buddy. That's what I thought.
Daisy is bored silly. Her mice friends are asleep.
We played with the propane bill for a time. I thought she could use a playmate. It might take the pressure off lovely Annabelle, who doesn't know how to play with other cats.
 

We were on our way home. Next, we went to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) rescue kittens in a pet store in Carleton Place. Morris (5 mos.) was up top. His brother left and he was lonely. Below him, in the cage, were two who might be related to Daisy. That's where we rescued her from. We'd think about it.

Then, back home to watch curling. On-line, LAWS was showing this little guy. He'd been 5 weeks in Perth. I told hubby about him. He said, "Do you want to go in and see him?" We taped the rest of the curling.
He was about to be taken back to the LAWS location, as they'd given up, his brother just adopted.

Quick decision. He'd been put in isolation, as he has a cold, and runny eyes, which is common as they manage the new bacteria and germs in a new place. (Annabelle had this for a few weeks. She's fine now.)

Meet Hank Jr., age 4 months (Aug., 2017) I'm still thinking on his name. (Any suggestions?) He's precious. He was from the Lanark Animal Welfare Society and sat for 5 weeks at Pet Value in Perth. He has a cold, he's sneezing, his eyes are running, and he is a sleepy boy.



This is his first evening, when he thought he'd explore some.

Sunday

He liked the curling. 

Finally, another male in the house!

The goldfish plant caught his eye. 

He is fascinated with big sister, Annabelle. I put wet food down for both. Annie has the diet stuff, Hank has the stress food  (Vet food), as he's a bit fragile. After I snapped this photo, Hank thought that Annie's food smelled a bit better, he approached her and she just glared at him. He hissed back, and went back to his own food. They are doing the dance. She isn't threatened.


Annie sleeps on this pillow, beside the stairs. The hot air rises from the downstairs fireplace. It's a fairly recent thing. Hank loves to just watch her.


Saturday night, Daisy slept on top of beside me, Hank in the chair in the living room, and Annie on her pillow. Sunday night, Daisy and Hank slept in the basement. Monday night, as well.

Monday

As I sat, with Hank on top of me, the pileated woodpecker chose to visit, again. You can hear Hank purring!

Hank was interested in Angry Birds!  

We have a snow storm on the way. We enjoyed the sun while we could. I was happy to let the furnace do its thing. He sat and watched the birds. He is relaxed and happy. He and Annabelle has a nose kiss. Daisy, I think, will come around.


Hank had a slight limp Sunday morning. Today, Tuesday, it's nearly gone. He has an appointment with the vet next week. His cold is much less. There is 5" of snow outside. We'll have a bit of work to do in order to clear up, with more on the way.
