Welcoming Bam Bam
Bam Bam joined our family today. He is a grey six year old cat whose mistress, Rachel, died after a year long illness. He is slate grey but his fur bleached to almost blonde since he moved from an indoor cat to an outdoor cat the last year as Rachel had been in and out of the hospital.
He’s a sweetie and is under my desk right now. We’re isolating him from the terror (read: Loca) until he can adjust and get his bearings. Rachel had named him Bambi, but we’ve settled on Bam Bam.
It was a typical New Orleans experience, Carol my neighbor sent an email to the Fauborg St John email group, then she gave me Pam’s number, who was Rachel’s neighbor. When T and I went to go check him out, Rachel’s gentleman friend M was there and P’s husband came, and turns out T and I both know S, who was a tenant of Rachel’s.
M showed us how Bamboo (as he calls him) shines your shoes – the cat rolls his head on the toe of your shoe. Very cute!!
