So I did a thing. . .

and I said I wasn't going to do it but YOLO.
My friend/coworker's cat had kittens on June 3. She kept telling me that she was giving me one and I was all like "nope!" She threatened to literally drop one off at the door. Anyway last night she texted me asking if I wanted one of the two that she had left before she posted about them on FB. I temporarily lost my mind and agreed to take the fluffy female. I could use some more X chromosomes in this place.
So I stopped by her house after the bank to pick up my new 9 week old baby girl. I don't have a name in mind just yet. I will have to think on it. I almost named Adso "Jax" but that is more of a boy cat name. I can't think of any good animal names from Outlander which is how Adso got his name.
I thought Charlie would be friendly to the baby but he wants no part of her. He hissed and ran away when she approached him. He is currently hiding up on the dresser in the back bedroom. Adso hissed at her for awhile at first but then started stalking her because he is a bully and is already trying to assert his dominance. To her credit Little Girl arched her back, fluffed her tail, and hissed at him. Eventually she backed herself up between the wall and the back of the couch. She will come out soon enough I'm sure.
The one thing I didn't think about was a litter box for her. I use a 40 gallon Rubbermaid tub in the bathroom to try to contain the litter and tracking. She is too little to jump into that right now. I will have to ask my downstairs neighbor if she has an extra regular one. She is practically a hoarder so she probably does. If not I will figure out something until I get to the store.
Welcome to the Cat Crew Little Girl!

I knew you wouldn't hold your ground for long. I'm glad she has a home with you. I am sure the three will start getting along just fine.

Things will calm down eventually. Cats hiss and hide at first but soon realize they have things good and start being affectionate. You will love this cat and she will love you.
Her eyes are beautiful. You could name her Baby Boo because of the eyes.
