Back from Spain

[petardier]

I'm back from hiking in the Picos de Europa, which as anyone in Asturias will tell you, are NOT the Pyrenees. We did about 100k in 7 days with some pretty serious elevation changes and saw some fantastic views. Sample photos available soon.

In other news, we have a new cat. Have a look.



I think that the Siamesey appearance is just an illusion. From her tenacity in chasing and hanging onto string, I've become convinced that she's actually part rottweiler. Despite the multi-colored glowing eyes, there's no demon in her background (I hope).

She's lovely! She looks like a blue point. What's her name?

The name is currently under discussion. Her original name, Cupcake, must go. My first suggestion, Meatloaf, a tribute to an old Kliban cat cartoon and a reference to her color, has been turned down as disrespectful. We're jokingly refering to her as Gordita when writing to the woman we adopted her from. Kato has been suggested, but perhaps only so that we can tell her, "Not now, Kato" with a bad Peter Sellers French accent. We'll work something out eventually.

We know she's mostly oriental, but we don't have the full origin story. I guess we can say she's whatever kind of point we like. Perhaps an Ozistan emerald point?
