See above: "baby".But I finally wore her down, and two weeks ago, I got my wish. We now have a kitten in the house.
This is Mason.
He is covered in very soft black fluff. Except for his face and his feet, he is also sparsely covered in white and gray hairs, which make him look like he is wearing very smart gray pants with little black dress shoes. All of his facial features are black, except for his big green eyes, which ALWAYS look surprised.
His feet, in addition to being stylish spats, are also ridiculously flat, which makes him look very silly when he runs.
Mason is an excessively affectionate cat. He is also very sociable and curious about the world around him, particularly his new big brother.
Bear in mind that for seven years, we have been a strictly one-animal home. Whenever our neighbors invite their yappy little wiener dog inside our house, Corey just sits on top of the stairs and looks at them with a faint look of distaste. Up until about three weeks ago, Corey hadn't seen another cat since he was a few weeks old, and certainly never one in his house. His first interaction with another cat was with Shauna's cat Kino, and they just skirted around and hissed at each other the whole time.
So, you can imagine how Corey takes it when little tiny Mason, who is literally 1/1oth of Corey's size, rambles up to him and wants to play.
Mason is persistent, though. He follows Corey around all day. He tries to give Corey baths. He jumps on Corey's back when he wants to play. He tries to eat out of the same bowl and drink the same water and sit on the same chair as his cool new big brother.
Corey is. . . not adjusting as well.
This looks uncomfortably familiar...
