My friends Todd and Barbara heard my tale of woe and decided to take him to the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Shelter in Springfield. They're currently running a "feline winter festival" with half-price adoptions, and we figured I might as well see what was available.
I looked at orange cats, a sweet tabby who looked too much like Siren for me to be comfortable with her, and a couple of tuxedo kitties, but the one who won my heart, and is now in my downstairs bathroom getting used to the house, is this gorgeous young fellow:
They were calling him "Santa Paws," but I think I'm going to call him Gil, short for Gil-Galad (or Seregil, or Gilbert). He's silky soft, incredibly sweet tempered, and all but melted into my arms when I held him. I'm keeping him away from Malfoy and Diamond for a week or so, but I think he'll be a wonderful addition to the Triple Felinoid.
Even better...I met the man who fostered Di-Di six years ago! He remembered a little gray tabby with three pretty kittens, and was very happy to learn that she's landed in a loving home. According to him, Diamond was an excellent mother and very affectionate once she got to know you, and I was pleased to tell him that she's still a great little girl.
All in all, a great day, complete with Christmas kitty. Hope everyone else is having a great time! Merry Christmas!
