Thursday, Catmom sent me a picture: ‘Findus is lying on my socks next to Goo.’ If only Abbey would curl up next to Findus. > [@GESancMan](#): > > We already have three cats. We are not keeping this cat. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/0lfgmg3.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/0lfgmg3) ---

Otto has a very kind kitty face. It would be a disservice to yourself to not keep that joyful face around. ---

So how’s Otto settling in with his new pride? 😉 ---

Quite well. He got snipped last Wednesday. He and the youngest of our three cats, Mario, have taken a liking to each other.

My daughter (autistic) has an aide that comes over once a week. The aide has a friend who is looking for a cat. We’ve extended an invite for the friend to come over and meet Otto, but we haven’t gotten a response yet. If this doesn’t work out, we’ll decide the next steps then. We’re not against keeping him at this point. 🙂 ---

The aide’s friend has decided that they don’t want a cat after all, because their apartment is too small. When my wife told me this a little while ago, I said “is it time to stop fooling ourselves, then?” “Yup.” Four cats it is! ---

I think so too. There are four excellent cats (and one dog) living in my household. ---

In December, I reported Goo weighed 8.4 pounds. We’ve been feeding her thyroid-safe wet food, and putting medication in it. She just came back from the vet, and she’s up to 10 pounds. 🙂 She had another blood draw, and we’ll find out how that turns out eventually. ---
