I got a kitty!! He's a hand-me-down, but he'll do. :D
A friend of HMcHH coworker moved into a new apartment and couldn't keep him, so I am now the proud, vaguely annoyed, owner of Hermes, a pretty grey 1yo (neutered! yay!), mostly outdoor kitty-cat.
Brought him home last night and let him out of the carrier; he made a beeline for under the bed and cowered for a bit. He came out for pets for a little while, and then right back under the bed. I turned in around 10:30; at midnight I wake up to a **thump** and a kitty paw landing on my head. ::grumble:: We let him crawl around the bed for a few moments, but when it became quite clear that he was more into exploring than settling down I exiled him to the other side of the house.
He's settled in nicely at this point- hasn't had an accident yet (also hasn't used the litterbox yet.. weird) but he's **awfully** whiny. Meow, meow, meow, meow. Pet me, dammit. Stop what you're doing and PET ME NOW. Reminds me of someone.. ;) We'll keep him in the house til he's figured out this is home now, then let him out to explore his new world.
Off to buy official kitty supplies!!

The boys are most displeased- 'Bus because he's been booted out of the house for now, and the others because, see, they just want to kiss Hermes, just a little bit, they wouldn't dream of nibbling, not at all.
Uh huh.
I did get my first battle scars.. was carrying Hermes to the other side of the house, and as we were walking through the foyer we caught Ellis' attention- he threw himself at the door barking up a storm like he was actually a big dog, and apparently gave dear kitty a heart attack. Sliced right through my t-shirt trying to climb up out of my arms and down my back. Gouged me literally nipple to chin. Damn cat. But overall he's okay, just whiny. He'll be an official outdoor kitty soon (almost became one the other night after that little stunt).
