BJ or Otis?

Today was beautiful...why couldn't we have had this weather yesterday? When I woke up to a shining sun I knew that we had better take advantage of it. The kids and I had so much fun outside and jackets were NOT even needed. I think I got my fall leaf fix...we mainly played in the leaves. The kids love to jump in piles of leaves, however, I do most of the raking. I am glad to put the rake away until next season after today ;)

Would have loved to have had this sunny weather yesterday for Halloween...oh well, it's not a bad way to start out November :)

He'll be picking me up before I know it :(

Onto the more important stuff. Aspen and I were in Petsmart getting Scale some food last Wednesday. Aspen always loves to look at the kitties and Wednesday was no exception. She screamed at me to come to the kitties while I was waiting for help. She carried on so badly I had to walk over to see what the problem was. That's when I saw him....BIGGLES, only half the size.

His name is Otis and he is almost identical to Biggles. He is three months old. I think the only difference is his size and he has a big white patch of fur in the middle of his back. I knew what Aspen was feeling because I felt the same...we had to have him. Unfortunately, we had to leave rather quickly so I could pick up the boys.

I brought Marc in with me on Thursday to check him out. He was also amazed at how much Otis looked like Biggles. We were ready to adopt him, however, the adoption people had already left for the day. I had to leave Otis once again :( When I made contact with the necessary people they told me the easiest thing to do was to come back during adoption hours on Saturday.

We picked him up right after breakfast yesterday. He is such a lover :). He settled right in when we brought him home. Jasmine took right to him as well. They started playing within ten minutes. I think she is very happy to have a playmate...Oreo still hasn't taken to her. In fact, I think he is REALLY pissed at me now. Not only is his brother gone but now he's out numbered as well. I hope he doesn't run away next.

We can't decide on whether to keep his name Otis or change it to BJ for Biggles Jr. BJ seems so fitting...their personalities are extremely similar. BJ/Otis isn't quite the lover that Biggles was though...maybe that will change with time. I miss Biggles' hugs more than anything :(. This cat also has the worst gas EVER...it actually makes you kinda want to vomit. He's lucky he is so cute...
