felis_lupusNow that I've had a moment or three to sit and not pack/clean/organize, last weekend was wonderful. Got in a bit later than planned on Friday night, woke up a bit earlier than I'd hoped to on Saturday, but otherwise was a relaxing weekend.
Visited with Grandma and Grandpa C, met Grandma's new kitty Babe, who is only 6 months old, and ENORMOUS. At least 14 pounds, and not done growing. One big smooshy kitty, double-pawed, and mellow as anything. He's lovely. I want one. Or two. (and we can have them now! Soon....) We think he's part Tonkinese, and definitely part something else, big.
Dinner was had, presents were opened, relatives were visited with. Went with F & B to a Christmas party at one of F's cousins' homes on Saturday night. Had a lovely visit and we all made out pretty well at the Yankee Swap. Met some relatives I didn't know I had, on F's side of the family.
Drive home was uneventful. The snow dumping that was working its way up the coast didn't hardly touch Maine. There was a dusting at the new house when we stopped by to check and make sure the heat was still on and not draining the tanks, but that was it. Cleaning supplies and trash bags have been acquired, the battle begins at 1PM tomorrow.

As gorgeous as he is, there are a few weirdnesses that he's got, with paws and eyes, that would probably be inadvisable to pass on to others. There's a pair out there, though, that made him and a sister, so maybe there will be more smooshy kittens born at some point (unless he was an accident...)
Funny story... Grandma thought he was a girl, that's what the people who gave her the kitty told her (kitten was brought to the VA home where Grandpa lives). And when they're tiny kittens, it's hard to tell... It was J's sister who discovered the truth a few weeks later, when she flipped him over and saw unarguable evidence to the contrary. :)
