Jinx!

Allow me to introduce the newest member of my family, Jinx!

Jinx is somewhere between 8-10 weeks old, and was found abandoned in a parking lot when she was too young to survive without her mother’s milk. The animal hospital had to bottle-feed her for a month before she was ready for solid food, but she’s happy and healthy and full of spunk now!

She was originally named ‘Squeaker’ by the vet, and was adopted by some mean old lady who re-named her ‘Greta’. But the mean old lady returned baby Greta after 2 days, because her 18 year old cat didn’t like her.

The animal hospital gave me a call since I had asked about her earlier, and we adopted her on Friday, May 13. Since it was Friday the 13th and we were adopting a black cat, Jinx seemed the obvious name for her. We considered ‘Lucky’, but the vet said that every cat she’s ever known named lucky has been just the opposite. Here’s hoping the reverse is true, as well.

This doesn’t mean we miss Quiver any less, but life must go on…
