All weekend in Kyoto (and long before that, too) I was whining about wanting a kitten. Said whining was spurred by seeing a man selling kittens at the river. I have been without a furry companion for a while. I have long wanted a puppy since my mom got a little princess Maltese, and in Japan especially I thought having a companion of some sort would be nice. But I didn't thing getting one would be a good idea seeing as I live in an apartment.
I was at the train station after Kyoto, and I noticed something in the street. Why had no one else noticed that there was a tiny, helpless kitten in the middle of the street? I scooped her up, knowing full well that she would get hit by a car if I didn't. Immediately I decided to name her (actually we don't know what (s)he is) Piki, or Piki-chan if you want to get Japanese about it. Maybe I'll come up with some kanji for her name. Without further ado, the first pictures! I'm like a new father, showing off new pictures of my baby to everyone ...
Yeah there are some bad pictures of me in here, but I am not the subject of these photos!
Ain't she just precious? >(^-^)<

Well Justin:
Just a short note from Ashfield (Steady Lane side of town) to say that our two cats have carefully assessed your recent acquisition...and they approve.
Well, guess you are making yourself proud out there...but of course, that isn't what this exercise is all about. Discover...have fun!
Fall colors (actually quite nice) are at their peak...and though we miss the colorful 'you'...we'll manage to move on into the doldrums without you.
Great site! Teach your children (well).
