Our First Family Noodle, - er um, Cat

After going to the fair, Olivia came up with the idea of wanting a rabbit, but given time, worked around to wanting a cat, which we could all agree on. We took a couple trips to the local humane society and had a hard time choosing among all the wonderful cats there, but finally decided on a black, shorthaired, extremely friendly and floppy kitten with an incessant purr. We call him Timothy.

Olivia became comfortable with Timothy quite quickly, though she still doesn't like him to bother her at bedtime. Her comfort with him seems to have been generalized to other pets - she is even alot more comfortable around dogs than she used to be. Timothy is a very happy addition to our family. Olivia has recently started saying she wants a dog... we'll see...
