I suggest Vexorg, Destroyer of Dogs and Devourer of Pâté. But that’s just me.

Oh, btw: If you live in the city, do NOT let the kittizen outside. That’s the fastest way to end up with an ex-kitty. Zazou the Wonder Kitty has never gone outside but in a pet carrier.

Welcome **kristoph**! And congratulations on the new addition to your family. 🙂 Have you decided on a name yet?

Cats are nocturnal, so she may be up playing during the night. They generally sleep aound 18 hours a day. But aren’t they just precious when they’re all curled up like that?

I hope you’re going to keep her indoors only. It would be so tragic if she really did get lost, or worse yet, hit by a car or eaten by another animal. ☹

Again, Welcome! Hope you have fun here!
