[[Album] Tango ![](https://i.imgur.com/pNbk1rO.jpeg?fb "Tango") ](https://imgur.com/gallery/oTLABAd) Brought him home last night. A friend found him in his back yard, with no idea how he got there. The other cats are fascinated, but they don’t get to sniff until after Tango goes into the vet for a physical this afternoon. ---

Actually, it was more looking for a 2 syllable name that started with some consonant at the end of the alphabet. The other cats progress Caelan, Havoc, Pixel…so I settled on “T” and started listing names. Tango popped up second on the list, and everybody liked it (so does he, I think) so Tango he are. Initial introductions were a little hissy, but Tango has claimed the sun room as his own personal fiefdom, so if everybody wants to catch the morning sun, they are just going to have to deal with him. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Initial introductions were a little hissy, but Tango has claimed the sun room as his own personal fiefdom, so if everybody wants to catch the morning sun, they are just going to have to deal with him That is one high-confidence kitten! New in the house and smaller than everybody else and he says he’s the one in charge! – seems like it’s even working. ---

Today Tango gets “run of the house,” because it is going to be 107 degrees outside and the sun room is going to get hot, A/C or no. The kids are looking at me like I betrayed them by letting the little monster loose in the house. At least I got him collared and belled so I can tell where he is when he is getting into trouble! ---
