Gratituous kitten-blogging: Ilario has arrived

The newest member of the family is amazingly relaxed considering what a stressful day he has had, flying to Sacramento from Portland. He’s sitting in a Great Dane-sized crate in my office with a bed, food, water and a litter box inside. This will be his home for the next couple of days while he acclimates to the incredible shock of suddenly living with dogs. He’s sitting in the bed at the back of the crate trying trying to keep his eyes open … and failing.
For the dogs’ part, the reaction has been a shrug — wow, look, another cat, so what?
Clara has yet to come into the office and realize what’s in the crate. She’s asleep in my bedroom.
More tomorrow, including a picture. Poor little tyke just needs to be left alone for now.
Purrfect pal for Clara! Great idea to add a “him” while she is young.

What a cutie!
I’ll bet he’s exhausted. Best thing for him is sleep right now, and then the fun begins!

Ilario is a cutie pie, even though he looks a little “glassy-eyed” from lack of shut-eye.
I am enjoying the ongoing saga of Ilario and Clara.
