A New Addition

Meet the new addition to our family, Eckstein the cat. Eckstein actually started out in St. Louis and was found by John. He went to live at mom's house which is where Ari and I met him. He was so friendly and sweet that I wanted to take him home, but decided not to because I was not sure Sassy would take it well. She has been an only cat for 4 years. We parted ways after the Thanksgiving holiday but I knew in my heart he would find a good home. This past weekend, mom came up for a visit, braving Blizzard '06. Guess who was with her? Eckstein!! He turned out to be an early Christmas present from my wonderful husband. He made himself right at home; Sassy did not take that well at all. She hissed, attacked, and made some of the most horrific noises I have ever heard come out of an animal. Eckstein was just upset that she wouldn't play with him. Finally, tired of her antics he took a swat at her and she has a scratch on her nose to prove it! Believe it or not, now they are pals. They like to be in the same room together and have even been caught giving each other Eskimo kisses! Welcome home Eckstein!!
