Today we picked up Rudy's new kitten. At the end of August, the weekend of the hurricane, a friend of ours rescued a litter of kittens and has been caring for them ever since. This week she told me they were ready to move on, so we purchased all the kitten supplies we needed and Rudy got his very own official pet.
Meet Moonlight - originally named Stripe but renamed by Rudy.
Moonlight's last meal with his siblings.

Checking out his new toys.

Rudy couldn't wait to play with all the new toys and introduce Moonlight to his bed.

Moonlight hung out while Paul and Rudy watched TV.

And eventually curled up and slept in Rudy's lap.


Rudy wanted a pet to sleep with him, and for the first few hours, Moonlight seems happy to comply. We will see what happens between now and morning.

Monday Paul and Rudy were off and the weather was nice so they went on a Dolphin and Whale watching tour. Red Beard Rudy went along, too.
