Cat number six joined our crazy but very happy feline household today. It’s a long story, which I’ll save for a rainy day since right now we’re taking turns staying in my parents’ bedroom with the new kitty, a four-month-old black male that we’ve named Prezzemolo (= “Parsley” in Italian).

Actually, he hasn’t quite “joined” the family yet, since we are keeping the new kitty separate from our adult cats, for obvious reasons. I will take Prezzemolo to the vet on Monday. After that, if everything’s okay, we will slowly introduce him to the others. The entire process usually takes about a week.

Anyway, here’s Prezzemolo. Stefano was brushing him, and he was purring like mad and kneading. A big purrbox, this one! We’re in love with him already. Okay, I have to get back to him now. He’s crying. Ciao! 🙂
