So... On #Caturday I welcomed a new kitten in to my home. His name is Taliesin (tal-yes-in). I decided to name him after a legendary Brittonic poet since his big brother was named after a mythical Greek poet.

He's about 12 weeks old. Black tabby Maine Coon. And tiny compared to his big brother.

I kept him separated for the first day, except a quick visit by Orpheus who wormed his way in in the evening. By Sunday he was ready to explore other rooms and by Sunday night they were fast friends.

I was worried about how Orpheus would react, but wanted him to have a play buddy since he has SO. MUCH. ENERGY.

Tali has a perfect, sweet, outgoing, and gentle personality and Orpheus had no issue accepting a new friend. They're now inseparable.

Still a tiny bit of friction, like when Tali enters a new room with this big brother (today was my office), or when he uses one of the cat trees for the first time. But Orpheus relents very quickly.

Tomorrow he'll have access to my bedroom.
