0100 and I hear a noise

The dogs aren't going nuts so I know it isn't a stranger.  I still reach for my nightstand pistol as I hear a knock on my bedroom door.  I ask who it is and I hear the voice of my second eldest daughter, Sprog #2, asking if she can come in.

She is SUPPOSED to be in Seguin at TLU, not here at home, so I start to worry something is wrong.

Nope.  Nothing is wrong, except she and several of her friends rescued a small little kitten.

Say Hello to Meryl.

My daughter cannot keep pets in her dorm, so instead of leaving this poor little kitten to stay out in the parking lot of the grocery store.  She drove it 150 miles to the one place she KNOWS it will be taken care of.  You can see the lid to the can of tuna I opened for her.  She drank off most of the juice, then I gave the rest to my other two cats, Ghost and  Xena, and the dogs.  Sprog #2 was sent back to my Ex's place to say hello to her mother, and then told to go back to school, as she has class in a little under 7 hours.  And it's still a 3.5 hour drive back to school.

Oh well.  I guess I have another roommate now.

I'm going to read the E-ARC of David Weber's new book, Shadow of Victory, for a bit longer, then I'm going to sleep.

Tomorrow, I'll call the vet and setup an appointment for little Meryl to get checked out.

Another new friend

Say hi to Xena.  And she likes to sit on my shoulder and look at what I"m doing to just like my cat Ghost.

Remember Ghost?

And as you can see in Xena's pictures I was finally able to trim my beard and get a hair cut.  I am NEVER volunteering to play Santa Claus EVER again.

Ghost - Playful kitty is playful

Ghost is a kitten, and as such she is VERY playful.  Since the dogs are all still trying to figure out what type of dog she is, they really don't know her, especially the few times they have played with her, her SHARP claws came out like all cats claws do.  She's not trying to be mean, she doesn't have the skill yet to retract her claws like a more grown cat would.  The dogs don't like sharp pointy things in their noses however :)

So Ghost can only really play with me.  However it's getting to the point I'm about to get out the leather welding gloves.  Her claws ARE S-H-A-R-P

Now I find myself in a quandary.  She needs a Middle name just like all the other animals here in the house.  I'm stuck.  Any suggestions?
