Introducing..............Baxter!

Peter and I have been discussing getting a new kitten for months. Sally's home alone all day and we thought she'd like a friend.

Since summer time is kitten time, the Austin Humane Society lowers their fees for adoption to only $35. In fact, this is the same time of year we got Sally almost a year ago.
.
So, we went to the Austin on Sunday "just to look." As soon as walked in the door, we saw a little feisty kitten named, "Nike" attacking the tag on his cage and generally keeping himself entertained.

We looked at one other kitten, but as soon as we were able to play with Nike, we knew he was the kitten for us.

We changed his name to Baxter, after Ron Burgandy's dog in Anchorman. He's a tuxedo cat, so we knew he needed a rather formal name.

So far, Sally isn't a fan of Bax, but we're hoping as time goes by, she'll at least learn to tolerate him.

For your viewing pleasure:

He tried to make it all the way home, but zonked out about halfway.


Baxter plays in his tent while Sally looks on in disdain.


He tries desperately to attack something outside his tent.

Awe, Sally got a little brother! You know I am not the biggest cat person, but that is one pretty cat! Have fun, Momma!
