When I opened our bedroom door to let the new kitty out (for good!) on Tuesday morning, the hissing competition began…at times it was so loud that it seemed as though our house had been invaded by swarms of snakes. So much drama! Not to mention all the scampering and chasing up and down the stairs, see photo.

Yesterday things settled down somewhat, and today all seems to be calm. I have even seen Peekaboo and the little one eat side by side.  

News flash: we have decided not to name our new kitten “Pinga” after all. A blog reader wrote to tell me that in Spanish that word means, uhm…something that men have and women don’t (!)…so we are going to change her name to…well, we are not sure what, yet.

She is such a lively bouncy little creature that I was thinking about Peppy (from piperine, thanks Hans!).

Any other suggestions?
