Everyone, I’d like to introduce Jack:

Jack is our new kitten, an eight-week-old Siamese/Tabby mix. You can see his body is light tan with white stripes, while his tail is dark brown with white stripes. It’s fairly subtle coloring on his body, but it’s really cool. He also has bright blue eyes like a Siamese.

He’s wild - really wild - which is fun and will be good for our other cat once she warms up to him. She’s needed a playmate for some time. (Right now she’s being very territorial, but I don’t think she’ll be able to hold out for long - she just wants to be loved and you can tell she’s just jealous of the new baby.)

This little guy has more energy than I know what to do with, but once he’s played for a couple of hours straight, he crashes pretty hard.

We name our cats after TV show characters we like, and this one is Jack for Jack Bauer (from 24) and Jack Bristow (from Alias). (Our other cat is Xev, from Lexx.)

Some folks post baby pictures, I post cat pictures. So there you have it - the new addition to the Illig clan!
