another cat update

More new photos in the gallery.

We appear to have names. Alexsei has stuck, and so our boy kitty is now Lexi for good. Girl kitty is now being called Tori. This was T's doing, because it's a nickname for Yakitori. This name was chosen partly out of T's obsession with Japanese food, but he mostly picked it so that he can also call her Yaki for short. This is an extremely geeky computer programmer joke that plays off the name Lexi.

I shall be calling her Tori. It's a real name, and it suits her. I think.

We had our first runner today. I was carrying the new litterbox for upstairs and a package that was sitting outside the door, and my hands were full. No sooner did I get the door open than Tori slipped out into the hall. I got the door closed before Lexi could escape and herded Tori back inside without incident, but I hope this doesn't become a habit. I was actually rather amazed; very fearless of her to run out like that. I had thought she was going to be the skittish one but maybe not.

There are cats in my house! And they have names! Very nice. And now it's time for bed.

The photograph of Tori staring into the camera, looking vaguely Sphinx-y, would make a good user-pic for you. She is very beautiful in the picture. I hope you can train them not to run. It can be dangerous for inexperienced wee ones. :)

Thanks! :) I agree, she is a very pretty cat.

I hope you can train them not to run.

So do I! Fortunately, "outside" is a long hallway with no easy access to the great outdoors -- they'd have to get through two more doors and down a lot of stairs -- so they aren't in any real danger if they escape, but it's still a habit I *really* want to discourage.

I love the Pancake Bunny picture. :) Funny *and* adorable.

I told you her true nature had been revealed. :)

Yay kitty names!

Jazzi still runs out a couple of times a week. She is usually pretty calm and doesn't go far, but if anyone else shows up in the hallway, all hell breaks loose. She once ran downstairs and tried desperately to get into my downstairs neighbors apt!

Revealed to T anyway. ;)

there are some very mixed messages in your userpics here...

I suppose there are. But why can't Lexi be both innocent *and* the demon kitty? Like all cats, he has some angel and devil in him. :)
