King of the Cats!

A month ago we got a new cat after another cat we had, the big puffball Marshmallow, died unexpectedly. We replaced Marshmallow with an even bigger and even puffier puffball, which we have named PANDA.

How would you describe the mood of this cat?

I hadn't mentioned anything yet because for the first two weeks it was a bit of touch-and-go as to whether we would keep him. He meows a lot. He used to hide from us.

But since then he's come out of his furry shell and become a member of the family. He lets Margot give him tons of hugs, his paws are like big fat mittens (but surprisingly dexterous) and he likes sitting near us (usually on whatever paperwork we are working on) and just hanging out. Not only that, we think he's at least part Maine Coon, which is a special type of pure bred cat that is considered the only longhair breed native to the United States. In other words, Panda is...ROYALTY!

Welcome to the family, your Majesty!
