Our New Friend

Meet our newest addition.

As you know, our dear sweet Stella cat passed away the day after Christmas. She was Lana's cat, but we had all grown to love her and her quirky self. She was very sick and had kidney failure.

R.I.P. "Stells Bells"

Jackson didn't give Aunt Lana much time to grieve the lost of Stella.

Everyday he would harass her and tell her she needed to go get a new cat.

Lana would say, "I'm not ready yet, Jackson."

Ten minutes would pass and he'd ask again, "Are you ready now?"

Four year olds.....

So while my mom was in town last week, we talked Lana into going to the Humane Society and adopting another feline.

If no other reason, than to put a halt to Jackson's nagging.

This cat is cool.

He's so laid back and such a people person!

He loves to lay in laps, right smack in front of the keyboard on the computer, on our chest in bed, he's just really sweet.

I told Lana I think he's grateful. Grateful that she chose him over all the other cats in the pound that don't have much of a chance.

Plus he's totally got his looks going for him.

And he lets Charlie have his way with him.

I was nervous the first couple of days with the cat and Charlie who likes to be "all up in the cat's face." But there hasn't been one incident, not one scratch mark....He's really good with the kids.

Here we have a "cat buffet"

served with all you can eat goldfish, of all things...Ha!

Oh, and his name is "Finn."

He came home with the name "Aiden".

But that's soooo not a cat name!

Jackson wanted to name him "Mister"

As you can see, Lana won that fight....
