The Cat Farm and Confusion Factory Welcomes Rook Thunderpaws

[rolanni]

Rook has arrived at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory and is for the moment cozily ensconced in Club Rook, aka the second bathroom.

He's very affectionate, absolutely fearless, and has a very large purr for such a small creature.  Understanding that I'm accustomed to full-grown Maine coon Cats.  Rook looks very small to me.  He's four months old.

He met Trooper, very briefly, because I hadn't pushed the door all the way to behind me.  Trooper said something to him, in that deep voice of his, and Rook scrunched against the floor, but he gave no ground, which seems to me to be proper respect to an elder.

Some time later, Firefly demanded to know what was behind the closed door, so I let her in.  That meeting went very well.  Sprite has not yet met the kitten, because Sprite is sleeping in a sun puddle.

The plan is to keep the kitten in Club Rook until I come back from my doctor's appointment tomorrow morning.  We'll consult then, and see if he thinks he might like to come into my office, take up occupancy of The Rookery, and start learning the business of the house.

I did mention to him that he will be having to manage an online fandom.  He didn't seem to think that would be any problem.

I love that bottom picture where both of them are stretched WAAAAAAY out hedging their bets that this strange person is not dangerous.
