Meet Brooks

Despite the nay-sayers and the skeptics, SPF and I have adopted a new kitty. One that will, if all goes as planned, help SPF and I fill the void that we will have with our three-year separation during my Brooks education, hence her name.

Brooks was born August 7th, approximately, so for ease of remembrance, we are calling that her birthday. She is thoroughly loving, adores a good head scratch, and already knows her name. She loves to knead anything with her paws, including faces. She is a born lap kitty and has fallen asleep once on my neck and shoulder when I was laying down petting her.

We have begun the introduction to the current pets, Isis and Osiris, but a face to face meeting has not yet taken place. She is aware that there are other animals, as they are aware of her, but we are trying to do this introduction by the books for everyone's health, and she will not have any face time for a couple more days. After that, she will have some supervised visits, and then some actual family time. We are trying to make sure that everyone will handle this okay, so we are taking our time.

Isis is very excited to meet her little sister and sits outside her door most of the day. Osiris avoids the door like the plague, but we aren't sure that is going to turn to aggression as the few times he has been down (we put the food next to her door) he has been curious and not angry.

We shall see.

Until then, world, here is our new baby girl.
