We drove all the way out to Powdersville tonight and spent 90 minutes getting acquainted with the five cats. The small assertive one was definitely that. She hissed at me a few times and only really warmed up to D towards the end. It turns out the short-haired one wasn't so big after all, it was just the way the picture was taken. She is quite friendly so we chose her. She's orange and black and has white on her neck and chest. She's 3.5 years old. Her given name was Runt. That definitely had to change. All of our pets have been named for literary references. We have decided to call her Elora after the princess in Willow and The Chronicles of the Shadow War. Tonight we are letting her get acclimated to the house. We think this is the first time she's been away from her siblings so it's a big adjustment. Will post some pictures tomorrow.
