Cooper comes home! New arrival!

Thumbnail image for schaufflercooper.jpgWe have a new arrival at the Schauffler home. It has been a few months since we had to send 20-year-old Sarah on to kitty heaven. The shock of that is still wearing off. Sarah lived with us longer than either of us lived with our parents. She can't be "replaced," but the house just hasn't felt quite right without a feline presence.

So here's Cooper, a cheerful refugee from the Seattle city animal shelter. He has met the dogs and the dogs have met him. No fireworks and a few kitty-kisses so far. He seems content with his new surroundings, content to explore and inhabit the available laps, content to use his box (bless his little cat heart for that!), content with his freedom after weeks in a cage.
He would like to go outside and explore what we call "The Big Room," but that is not in the cards. He'll be an indoor kitty with summertime deck privileges and he'll like it.
