It happened. I got a kitten. His name is Pallas, named for the Prussian naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who was the first Westerner to document the manul or Pallas’s cat.





He’s very chill and affectionate. He will meow piteously if I get up to use the bathroom, and he follows me everywhere that his little feet can take him.
I’ve never been a cat person, but he’s such a nice little kitten. He will probably turn into a wonderful cat.
And yes, he will be kept indoors only to protect both himself and native wildlife.
Snort!
Congratulations. Your life will now be better.
He is beautiful. And he looks like the kind of kitten that will be a devoted companion. Reminds me of my DJ at that age. Except DJ isn’t black.
