New arrival... perhaps...
The holiday cards are pouring in! Every morning is spent in
anticipation of the postman Min (RB)'s foster humans (my father and stepmother) have been catless long enough to show respect to the departed, and have now begun the process of fostering foundling kittens in the search for a Worthy Successor. Appropriate, of course, as Min herself was a foundling. (Actually, no she wasn't. She just turned up one day and moved in to my house. Guess that makes *me* the foundling!) Anyway, two kittens have been fostered and subsequently re-homed. The current one, however, looks like she might be sticking around. Her original name was Tuppence, and her original human turned out to be allergic. Since she's a funny brindled stripey-and-spotty colour, my stepmother has named her Abstract, or Abbie for short. My father is baffled by her ability *always* to be asleep exactly where he wants to sit, and has named her "Why Don't you Get Your Own Chair", or WDY for short. Pictures of Abbie, or WDY, or whatever her name is (thanks Pam!) to follow after Christmas Al. |

I'm sure your father is a worthy catslave, but he may have this thing about the chair wrong; he may be supposed to buy her her own chair. Or buy himself a new one, as she has appropriated his.

Looking forward to pictures! She probably likes his chair because it smells like him.
