The new family structure



So after a short scare that he might belong to someone else who posted an ad on Craigslist, we are now confident that he is supposed to be with us.

Thanks to all who weighed in on the name- people were evenly split about Colbert, so after hearing that the neighborhood kids had named him Lincoln after the school on our block (apparently he had been playing with them for a while on the school yard, even running the 50 yd dash with them!), we think we are going with that. We liked the suggestion of Dumbledore, but Lincoln seems dignified enough for him, and we like the idea that he was named by children. He is such a kid's cat!

No signs of allergy in Jeremy, who continues to delight in him. Jeremy is really getting good at petting (rather than hitting lovingly) him, and Lincoln even goes up to him on a regular basis. He is really capturing our hearts.
