Alex Born April 15 2012

Alex sitting in what is currently his favorite spot

Andrew and I went to the humane society yesterday and found Alex. His name was Perseus, but we felt that it was too long and didn't suit him. He is a very mellow kitten; playful but relaxed.
Ember is grumpy about him being here. He is not her Julius. Of course Alex cannot replace Julius, but I think he will be a good kitty.  I miss purry Ember. Transitions are a pain. I think he and Ember will be cuddling in less than a week, but for the moment there is a fair bit of hissing for the disgruntled Ember.

Alex is trying to eat one of my bras as I type. I always forget just how playful kittens are. He has funny sleeping habits. I woke up in the night last night to find that Alex was under my pillow. I had a moment of alarm. Had he suffocated? He stretched and purred. Nope he just likes to sleep in strange places. He spent a lot of this afternoon napping on top of the bucket where we keep the ferret bedding. I had left a towel on it.
