Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004we have a new furbaby!!
Yes! Laku's no longer the only cat in this household. We brought a little grey ball of fur home today. He's a rescue kitten. An elderly relative of this woman had to go into a nursing home and couldn't take her female cat with a litter of kittens with her so the young woman took them in order to find homes for them. We had been looking for a kitty friend for Laku for some time now and he's it. The kitten is 15 wks old, is mostly grey, except for the toes on the left side paws, and a "bikini" - white marks on the tummy and up on the ribcage between the front paws. Laku isn't quite sure what to think of the newcomer. He's been slinking around crouched low, avoiding the kitten. And the kitten has checked out our apartment, been shown where the litter box and food cups are and is now sleeping on the sofa. Well, at least they're not fighting. http://tinyurl.com/6qm3d Now we have to come up with a name for the little one...

Yes, Laku is licorice in Finnish. And we're considering calling the new baby Nico.

I think it's a great nickname for a certain tuxedo boy around here. :) (I could also just call him Laku, I guess.) Joyce > > Laku is the "nickname" for licorice in Finnish. The real word for > > licorice is 'lakritsa'. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Joyce Depends on how you look at it. ;) In Finnish, the stress is almost always on the fist syllable, so it would be *la*-krit-sa, instead of la-*krit*-sa, as I suspect most Englishspeakers would pronounce it.

Good point, that's exactly how I was hearing it in my mind (stress on 2nd syllable). OK, LA-krit-sa, LA-krit-sa.... Oh, little LA-krit-sa, come here, my pretty boy...! :) Joyce > > In Finnish, the stress is almost always on the fist syllable, so it would > > be *la*-krit-sa, instead of la-*krit*-sa, as I suspect most [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > syllable). OK, LA-krit-sa, LA-krit-sa....

Yep, we'd been thinking about it for quite some time now, and found him through Apula, the site you were looking at too for the ginger tabby boy. I'm sure they'll learn to get along pretty soon as there's been a vast improvement during this day alone. We'll just have to give them time and equal amounts of love so that neither feels left out. We're thinking of calling him Nico, let's see if he's OK with it.

Yuk, cigarettes! I've gotten even less tolerant since living in the Boulder area, where smoking is banned in all public facilities, including bars and concerts (yay!). I was skiing yesterday at A-Basin, where the resort starts at about 11Kft and the top is about 13Kft. It's hard to get enough air. I caught a whiff of those nasty cigarettes, shortened my breath a little to get away from it, and suddenly felt *very* light-headed. Gross. Signaturemonique, caretaker of Oscar >>> You see, Marina?

That is a beautiful kitten!! In my old age, I've kind of turned on longhaired cats. I love 'em, but I think I prefer the shorthairs now. They are so sleek and always so shiny.
