Ratzi Blog!
Ratzi has his own blog
We’re big geeks, we know, but this way we’ll be able to keep track of our first baby as he grows up, and it gives us a place to put all those pictures from the ends of the rolls of film.

Matt & his mom went out to Vicki’s today and picked up our new little bundle of joy. He is as yet un-named, but Ratzi is kind of growing on us.
As it turns out, he was born sometime on April 1, 2 or 3, so my initial reaction was that his name should be John Paul, or JP, but Matt just can’t see calling the cat JP. Then, I suggested Ratzi because Pope Bennedict is a cat lover, so we’re giving it a trail run. Pictures & more wonderful kitty fun to come.
We were at a picnic this evening and my husband was sucked into wanting a cat again. The hosts of the picnic have some very cute free kittens that need homes, so we *might* be getting one. We need to check with the landlords (we’re thinking they’ll say yes because the other tenants have a yippy dog), price the routine vet stuff to see if it’s in the budget and see if we can acquire any free kitty stuff from Matt’s mom. This is Matt’s incentive to get himself a job.
What do I think of all this? I’m scared to death. I’ve never owned an animal that could puke on my carpet. I’m used to only ever having fish… speaking of, we got a new Betta for our anniversary. His name is Newton and I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned him sooner.
If we get this kitten, he’s going to need a name. We’re looking for a naming gimic, something that we can continue with if we get more cats someday. The fish gimic is that our fish will be named after mathematicians, so I’m looking for something a bit more exciting for cats. Any suggestions?
I love my credit union visa. When I called to have it activated, nobody tried to sell me anything. I didn’t even talk to a real live person. It was WONDERFUL.
Just like my husband.
