We are in the business of animal acquisition around here: several fish, 6 chickens, a dog, a short-lived outdoor cat named Odysseus, and what we hope will be a longer-lived girl kitty. She'll also be outside because we need her to hunt some of the chipmunks that are running amok around here. We have not formally decided on her name, but Penelope seems to be the leading contender.
She'll live in the house for a month to learn that we are her family, then we'll keep her in the barn for a month so she'll learn where her home is. Once we're sure she's clear on all that we'll allow her to come and go as she pleases, assuming she's big enough to live outside by then.
She is really tiny, really cute, and has really sharp claws.
