Meet Scotch, the latest addition to our family. After we took in a stray cat over a cold snap this winter, Meux just hasn't been the same. We decided she was lonely and so we casually discussed getting her a playmate. Coincidentally, Derek's Dad happened to know a cat that needed a new home and suggested her to us. Aerya and I went to meet her and decided to bring her home to see if she'd like to live with us. The rest, as they say, is history.
Scotch has had a few name changes in her lifetime originating with Moo, then Miss Moo and now Scotch. We thought that Moo and Meux might be a bit too close to be able to differentiate for Aerya. Derek chose the name by the way because she has eyes the color of a good bottle of scotch.
We were a bit worried about the cats getting along, but within an hour of meeting each other they were fast friends. They now follow each other around, Meux tries to groom Scotch, Scotch tries to play ball with Meux and they always settle down together for their sleeps. We're still not sure just where they sleep. We've found them on the kitchen table, in the office (Meux on the chair and Scotch under it), in Aerya's room at the window and randomly on the floor round the house. At some point each night they do (loudly) venture into our room but I think Scotch is too hot to comfortably sleep on the bed.
Scotch is a gorgeous cat with long, persian-like, white fur offset with a couple of tortise-shell colored patches and a great big racoon tail. I just can't stop petting her all the time!
