we welcomed a new kitten into our home from the shelter yesterday. her name is margo polo because she is a great explorer.
we are all so happy that she came to live with us.
well, not everyone is happy actually...
popkin is a scaredy cat as it is. she is prone to hiding under the bed if she hears the gardener outside or the vacuum inside. and this little tiny kitten has her in quite a dither. we are giving her extra love and quiet time. hopefully she will love her soon!
my little brother is on his way down to head over to the pool with us.
so it promises to be a happy day.
i hope your friday is full of fun, too!

I love your new kitty and the name is perfect. I am so glad a new little life has joined the family. I can't wait to meet her. : D

What a little sweetheart! Margo Polo looks charming and I am sure she will wrap you all around her finger (err, paw, claw?). Whatever, she is sooo cute.

Margo is special!
That first photo is just awesome---I LOVE those ears!
And the huge eyes!
But poor, poor Popkin! I can relate to that. My Kitty hides under the bed way to much of the time. However, if another cat dares to venture into her territory, that is a whole different story! She becomes the Wild Child from Hell. We are her people and no one better even think of coming near!
I'll be looking forward to more photos and hearing when a truce is declared.....

What a perfect name! And she is adorable. We are going thru a similar thing at our house w/Jasper Johns(age 1) and Gilligan (age 17). Geez. We are perhaps 6 wks in and Gil still acts slightly befuddled although I know he likes Jasper.
And your brother!!! You guys look so much alike! How wonderful. I haven't seen my siblings since Xmas and I miss them (& my parents). Its hard being apart from family sometimes.

What a cute kitty! And her name is very clever. I am sure, given a bit of time, your scaredy cat will come around.

Margo Polo...that is a hoot! When I brought my tiny little orange cat home (named Indy because he purred like an Indy 500 race car) he arched and hissed at the older cats, who just kind of raised one eyebrow at him and went back to napping. Indy and I had to have long talks about the importance of being a "team player". I think he'd still prefer to be the only cat in the house, but they've all operated under a negotiated truce for some time now.
