I’ve just arrived home with the adorable kitten from Texas, brought to me and Kara by the wonderfully generous Amy Sisson and ferried home from the airport by my ever-reliable friend Glenn Hauman.

The new kitten has been introduced to the litter box (important after being cooped up in her carrier since 5am), fed a big meal (crucial since she hadn’t eaten since last night), and is now vocalizing strangely and constantly while exploring the house. (Meanwhile, our other cat, Mister Puck, is cowering beneath the guest bed.)

The first photo is one Amy took after rescuing the kitten a couple of weeks or so ago. The second photo I just took as the kitten was prowling toward me across the guest bed in my office.

Isn’t she beautiful? She’s my new baby.
