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
