Meet Cristal

December 2, 2022

We were going to wait.  But, the heart needs what the heart needs, as a good friend said, reacting to our adoption.  We miss Simone horribly, and she will forever leave a hole in our hearts.  Cristal brings a light into the house in the form of a bouncing, delightful energetic "muffin on legs."

Saw this meme to describe a kitten in a dictionary term: 

kit-ten (n)
A small homicidal muffin on legs; affects human sensibilities to the point of endowing the most wanton and ruthless acts of destruction with near-mythical overtones of cuteness.  Not recmomended for begniners.  Get at least two.

Well, we just adopted one (she did have a twin) and it was a tough choice between them.  Mason absolutely adores her; he is following in the tradition of every male tuxedo cat I've ever had in that they exhibit no hoslitility towards an incoming kitten - immediate grooming and maternal carnig comes into play instead.  Skylar is being a grumpy old man towards her, as well as his sister, Sabrina.  Cristal doesn't take them seriously.

We look forward to seeing her personality unfolding - her tiny little voice is just developing what I call "language skills" now in the form of a few trills added to her requests.  We welcome Cristal to her forever home.  And yes, she named herself.  Although I do not drink, Cristal is a sparkling drink and she has a sparkling personality!
