In ground breaking news at Chalet Pixel, a new cat of as yet unknown identity is soon to join the happy household!

Our landlord was over tonight, on a trip up from Sydney, to get new copies of our lease. It seemed the perfect time to tentatively broach the subject of a second cat. He said, "okay, as long as she [Pixel] doesn't eat him!"

Scott seems to also be convinced! Scott has chosen the name Randie, short for "Random Numbers." This is another cat name from the series of books that we obtained Pixel's name from. The name refers to kittens going in one direction, then suddenly running off in another direction at the call of a random number popping up in their head.

We will begin the search on the weekend, probably on Saturday. Initially, I wanted an older cat but I honestly think that Pixel, with all her bags of energy, would be much better suited to a kitten who would enjoy playing games and snuggling up with her.

I am going to need some advice regarding introducing a kitten to Pixel who herself is six months of age. I have had some experience introducing older cats to one another, but the kitten to older kitten scenario is totally new!
