It's official, I'm certifiable

Let me introduce you to the latest Mess Maker, Tallulah. At least that is the name the ladies at H.E.L.P gave her yesterday at the adoption event I attended. It is very fitting for her and I like it, but I'm not sure we'll keep it. I've been trying some others on for size today. As usual with our animals, no matter what I actually "officially" name her, she'll end up with some stupid nickname anyway.

I had intended to adopt a black kitten or a tuxedo cat but this little baby won my heart. Partly because the black polydactyl I had signed up to adopt was in the process of going home with someone else when I got there for my scheduled appointment time. Seems that the other family answered, "yes" when asked if they were the ones that signed up to adopt him. I think it is for the best anyway. The foster mom said he was still a little wild but Tallulah was practically a marshmallow and very sweet. All it took was her flopping over on her back like a baby in my arms and starting to purr with a VERY loud motor to win me over.

She has already claimed the smaller Kitty Pi I made as her own. Good thing, the Milk Brothers are both to big and fat to fit into it anyway.

I just noticed this morning a truly unique feature with her facial stripes. Can you see how the black and brown stripes above her eyes look like a second set of eyes, so even when she is asleep, it looks like she is watching you. Sort of like Jack Sparrow in the last Pirate's movie. She may get renamed "Sparrow" because of them.

Another thing about her is that she looks so much like my old tiger kitty, Sebastian (aka BooBoo). I've found myself calling her LuLu frequently because it is so similar to BooBoo and continues the "L-name" theme with Latte & Leche.

Mini-Me and I loved the name my friend Erin named her new kitten, Sirius Black, and wanted to also go with a Harry Potter theme name. Little E suggested Luna and we really like that and it is a front runner. Also under consideration; Hermione, Trelawney, Minerva and Jenny. My votes go toward either Luna or Minerva (I can name a cat after my dress form right?)
