Here is the update on the little black stray kitty we found around our house: Bryan was feeling horribly guilty about her being outside so in she came. She has been locked up in the bathroom since Saturday. We wanted to make sure she was healthy before she started to interact with the other cats.
Today she went to the vet to get checked over and shots. She is between 8- 12 months old. The vet was checking her out and said she thought she was pregnant! I was a bit shocked and worried as to how we are going to deal with more babies! The Dr. suggested we could go on and get the kitty spayed but that would mean aborting her kittens. Bryan and I talked about it and knew we couldn't possibly do that. The vet had two other Dr's check her out. The other two Dr's don't think she is pregnant- just full of a lot of worms which is making her intestines feel bigger. She is on medicine to help with the worms. To be on the safe side, Bryan and I decided to wait a month before we get the new kitty spayed. By then we will know for sure if she is expecting or not.
We have named our new one Ebony. She did not like going to vet. We let her out for a bit this evening to meet the other cats. Right now she is back in the safety of her bathroom- it was a rough day for her! Here are some pictures of her and the other animals.

Then I realized we didn't have any pictures of Cinnamon and Misha. And of course a thread isn't complete without a picture of Misha so here you go:

We weren't able to get Ezzie's reaction. She took one look at Ebony out of the room and went and hid in the living room. Ezzie is hoping if she ignores Ebony, Ebony will go away!
