Sunday Surprise

Welcome to Kalle, the new Kit on the Block. 

It has not happened for a long time; Äiti has resisted all temptation after Otso arrived to calm down the burmese bounciness of the Felocracy. However Äiti saw a photo of a handsome ginger tabster at the local shelter, Vierashuone , and he looked so sad and in need of a forever home, she had to find out more. And well of course, finding out more led to him arriving on Friday evening.

Kalle is maybe 6 years old, is well built and strong (7 kg) but has some skin allergy/problems and also is very sensitive to light* and does not see very well. I, the Viscount Veikko, spent Friday night with him and he was very calm - and allowed me to eat all his foods. He spent Saturday Under The Bed while I was with the others. He seems sad, and maybe has had some trauma so Äiti is taking things at his pace.

She has decided the name Kalle suits him; it is from the Swedish for 'Charlie'. Now England has a king Charles, and Sweden King  Karl (Charles) Gustaf - but I do not think we could possibly return to being a monarchy.  Kalle can just be Kalle. Paws crossed he settles and has a long and happy life here.

*because of his eyes, photos are very limited - flashes are not fun

  6. Welcome, you big handsome Orange Boy. If Veikko calls himself Viscount, we see no reason that you can't call yourself Kuningas. And perhaps he needs a lesson in staying away from YOUR fudz. I, Gigi, must teach this lesson REPEATEDLY to Buddy. Best to make things clear from the get-go.

  7. Beautiful boy! Your new mum is a sensitive, understanding person. Your siblings less so.

We love comments from our Loyal Readers, even though Äiti is really bad at commenting back. But please don't let that stop you......

Saa kirjoitta suomeksikin - Äiti on laiska, mutta on pakko oppia suomea.

Tervetuloa! Welcome!
