New furry family member....

Well, I'm 3/5th's of my way to becoming a crazy cat lady (isn't 5 cats the magic number?

)

We weren't planning on getting another cat (a DOG was supposed to be next on the list), but friends of ours needed to find a new home for their orange tabby. Their little boy, despite their best efforts, just wouldn't play nicely, so the poor lil cat was relegated to living on the screend porch, or in the garage... so she came home with us Saturday.

She's the sweetest, loviest cat... and little by little, our cats are adjusting to her. We're keeping her name, Carrot, however she's already got a few nicknames, including Red Headed Step Child, Ginger Kid, and (Chris' favorite) Token (as in, the token orange cat, since the other two are gray).

Sorry for the crappy pic... once she stops hiding in the guest room closet, I'll get better pics of her.

I don't even know where that came from... we got home with her really late Saturday night, and I was punchy, and for some reason I called her Token... and it stuck (like I said, it's Chris' fave name for her....

)

She's not quite 4.

Thats too cool. Orangies aways have the best personalities!

Awwww....thanks for giving her a proper home, Neebs! She's adorable. She will come around. We tried to get our cats to get along by using associations with good things with the other cats. Such as, if they are all together, they get treats.
