Oh yes, that's right...

Wife finally decided to get a new cat.

Wife wanted a kitten.

Wife was chosen by kitten.

Here is sample photo of kitten. Or, if you want a photo of kitten actually staying still, here. (Seriously, how do people get all those photos of kittens in a row staying cutely still? Either they have much more cooperative kittens than we do, or much faster cameras.)

His name is Yuri. He is adorable! And purrs as soon as you pick him up!

He is also exhausting. Partially because Pallas is Miss Not Trusting This Small Fuzzy Interloper 2020 (so we're Slowly Introducing them, and he's staying shut in a particular room most of the time), and partially because he has no sense of I Have Been Squirted With A Water Gun Every Time I've Been Caught On The Table, Gee, Maybe I Shouldn't Go On The Table (At Least While The Moms Can See), and partially because he is a kitten! and wants to play! all the damn time! Toes are for eating!

Wife has informed me that if she ever again gets the idea into her head that she wants a kitten/puppy, I am to remind her of this time and tell her NO NO NO NOT AGAIN.

EDIT: changed the links so the photos should be viewable, whoops, sorry, my bad
