Meet the third addition to our little family: Katerina "Kat Rajah Johnson.
Back in March '12, Matt's mom had a pregnant stray that had her babies in the yard of the house next to them. She fed her and the kittens but needed to find a home for our little Miss Priss and her brother and sister, Kathy knew we had just gotten Binx and wondered if we wanted to take on another cat. So on our next visit in September, we brought Binx and went over to take a look. Kat, called "Yellow" at the time, stood out immediately, being the most playful and curious about humans. Binx suprisingly got a long with all of them, but we didn't have another boy and Georgia was already attached to Kathy's husband, so we settled on Yellow.
Choosing her name on the way home was more of a challenge. I wanted to keep with the "cats from movies" idea and kept coming back to Cat from Breakfast at Tiffany's. That led to her full name Katerina (special because of a book from my childhood as wellas Matt's mom's name).
We were all preparedfor the long-haul of getting her used to the house and to Binx, but it only took about an hour before she and Binx were best friends and she was sniffing around the house.
She's really skittish (although she's gotten a lot better), really picky with her food (she won't eat treats and doesnt pay any attention to catnip). She LOVES (and I mean LOOOOOVES) being petted and scratched, but hates being held and actually doesn't like being outside (she heads straight for the door as soon as I put her on the ground).
She also like antagonizing Binx, which I'll post pictures of in the next post.
