Attila the Honey

As everyone knows, Ian and I have been missing poor, departed Schnuffy, and we've been waiting for some cat that nobody else wanted to find us, and yesterday it happened!  We are now the proud adoptive parents of a MASSIVE cat who we have dubbed Attila.  He had been abandoned almost a year ago when his old owner died and he's been living outside since.  While his living conditions may have been sketchy, clearly his food source has been steady because this is no petite little kitty.  It turns out that several people in the neighborhood had been feeding him but nobody could commit to taking him in.

He seems quite sweet in a demanding, guarded sort of way.

Unfortunately, since the house is in turmoil since the kitchen is under construction he's locked in the laundry room and today, Mr Rooter is here to clear out the roots which have grown into the drains causing out drains to back up (yuck).  It is so loud here today, what with the hardwood flooring guy installing 3/4 inch hardwood up in the kitchen and the rooter-guy snaking the pipes here in the basement...poor Attila is probably thinking it was calmer out in the wild.
