and the New Kitty's Name is...

Peanut! After a few weeks of trying to find out if the new kitty is a boy or a girl we decided to google it! Turns out (according to the lovely sketch on Paws Online Info.) our kitty is a boy. We had kinda been stuck on Peanut anyway so I'm glad it was a good unisex name. Any tips on raising boy kitties would be greatly appreciated. Peanut is still so cuddly, playful and good natured, especially with the little kids! We're falling more and more in love with him every day.
He likes to dart outside when someone opens a door. The other day we thought he'd gotten out without being noticed. The kids scoured the house and couldn't find him anywhere. They started searching outside in the front and the back along a very busy road behind our house...all to no avail. They were becoming quite distraught by this point. Soon, Ariel came home from work and went down to her bedroom to change and who should she find burried under the blankets on the bed? You guessed it...Peanut! That saved us much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth!!!
He likes to hang out with me when I'm on the computer, sometimes on my lap, sometimes in back of me and sometimes right in front of my working area!The other mishcheivious thing he's done is chew the leaves off of two of my potted house plants and knock another one off the cupboard, dirt, pot and all! You can imagine the mess that was!!! Luckily it happened in the kitchen so sweeping up the mess was a LITTLE bit better than having the dirt spill into the carpet. Let's hope he doesn't get into too much more trouble or it's gonna be LONG summer!!! ;D

Oh! You're going to love Peanut. We've enjoyed our kitties. Sorry, no advice on how to raise a boy kitty, ours are girls.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family!
