Meet the Cutest Kitten in all Seattle!

This is Dot, now about 15 weeks old. She's taken up residence at Rod's house. And Ivana says that besides being cute and affectionate, Dot loves to play catch! Also, if you're wondering about the name choice like I was, here's Ivana's explanation:

No great mystery surrounding her name...She has a dot on her head. And a dot on the roof of her mouth, and a peach dot on the tip of her tail, and approximately 27 cheetah-like tan dots on her otherwise white belly. And we tend to prefer names with few syllables, and I tend to like names that were popular women's names in the 1920's. (The runners-up were Vera, Cora, and Pearl.)

Neal on October 31st!

I think Neal loves Halloween. Here's his email message that he sent with the photo: Halloween was last week. You know what that means. Another Halloween costume. I was feeling a little Jamaican this year.
