i'm not convinced that this isn't the worst idea ever given our lifestyle but considering how happily i gave up my friends' birthday last night to stay in and watch river on his first night here, i think this might be easier than i thought.
his name comes from two things. mato was his birth name; it means bear. all of us were joking around about how we wanted to name him different things. steve's was gandalf, brooke was fine with mato, and well, i wanted river.
gandalf lost out entirely. but the littlest member of apt 6 is river bear! how cute is that?
he's a grey tabby, with little black markings on his face like a tiger'ish. i'm totally in love. i slept on the couch so i could keep an eye on him and he wound up curling up on the pillow next to me. by the time i woke up, he had cuddled into my neck. when he saw that i was awake he started licking me all over and nuzzling me. i think its safe to say we're officially bonded.
played with him quite a bit this morning and now he's tuckered out again. kittens sleep 16 hours a day apparently... my kind of pet :)
here's my little baby
