madbakerI'll try not to turn this journal into "All kitten, all the time" news. That said:
Last night, before putting up the previous post, I checked the SF SPCA website. Unfortunately (but not too surprisingly) they don’t have kitten pictures up, so I was unable to grab one of ours. We don’t have a digital camera, so no photos for now. You’ll all just have to visit to meet him. 8)
Anybody have suggestions for names? Dawn wouldn’t mind continuing the "philosopher theme" - our previous grande dame was named Socrates, and Dawn grew up with two or three more named in that vein. I went through the Monty Python philosopher drinking song but none of those fit. I’ve also considered Averroes, Abulcasim, Boethius, Galen (actually I kind of like that one), Newton...
Although, given his tendency to clamber up our bodies and perch on shoulders, Edmund Hillary also came to mind.
This morning it was difficult to do my usual shower-shave-and-go because he kept mewling while I was in the shower ("let me in!") and then he didn't want to stop with a five minute cuddle. Okay, neither did I, but I had to leave for work and he kept climbing back up my chest.

Many congratulations on your newest member of the family...

Naming a kitten is half the battle. The other half is keeping all your good clothing and shoes from becoming kitten play toys. :)
Are you going to take him to events?
