Here is the latest addition to our household, from the local SPCA which places some of their cats in various Petsmart stores. I went in to buy dog food and came home with Chatouille! Well, not quite like that. I saw him, and thought about it for awhile and went back to adopt him. He is about 5 years old, and, so they tell me, a Norwegian Forest Cat maybe with some Maine Coon. He is lovely and affectionate and soon I'll introduce him to the other two cats, Piccolo and Cleo, and to Sasha.

(We gave him the name Grendel after a few days, as it seemed to fit in many respects, what with his supposed Nordic background :-), and his attitude.)
