so we're adopting this cat. mika's coworkers found him at a site they were going to exterminate. we haven't thought of a name for him, but he's a boy and he's orange and striped.
he's the one on top. he seemed to be the strongest who could most hold his own. the others got sent to the humane society. we're gonna pick him up in 3 weeks after he's been weaned off of milk.
we're trying to think of a name that's geeky. any suggestions?
here's a picture of his sister:
we really liked her, but we really wanted an orange one this time.
yeah yeah scold us for adopting yet another cat. but blame mika. she's the one who showed them to us.
