On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

We've temporarily settled on Czarny and Rudy. That's Polish for black and ginger-haired. If they ever come out of hiding and decide to hang out with us, the names may change, but these will do for now.
So why Polish? We don't speak it, but of all the languages we do speak, none had words for black and ginger that "sang."
I took Mom to one of her doctors, then around the city for various stuff, so that meant driving over 100 miles today. One of the ladies at the independent living place shared her cheesecake recipe with me; it does look good. Then I went to the pet store and picked up a couple of kitty beds, since that's what they grew up sleeping in, a couple small bags of grain-free kitten food, a few cans of grain-free kitten gooshy food, and some toys. Kittens need their own stuff, not hand me downs as old and worn out as we had.
When I got home, the boys had been exploring a little, but hid when I walked in the door. Someone peed on the door mat, so they clearly haven't figured out the Litter Robot yet. I did find Rudy "hiding" in the hall bathroom. He had his head stuck under the sink cabinet, with his entire body out in the open. Pulled him out and held him for a bit, until he calmed a little, then let him run off to hide somewhere else. At present, they are both behind the washer/dryer. I do hope they come out before we take them to the vet for a checkup on Tuesday.
Been a long day. Sleepy time. Later, y'all.
