It is with great joy that I announce the newest addition to the
household. Her name - just recently decided - is Matareka, which
means charming, cheerful and loving.

In Japanese? (Sounds like it.)

Things have
calmed down enough that Matareka and the Stripey Thing are sleeping with
less than a foot between them and they don't care. And, yes, they do
know how close they are. They woke up a bit ago and each snarled a
little and then went back to sleep, closer than they were, but not
touching.

How cute. I'm sure they'll be friends before long, if they're adapting
*this* quickly!

Congrats on your new family member.
