Count down has begun

Pierre and I drove to Atlanta last weekend to pick up a new kitten, we have been waiting for 6 months to get him and we were very excited to meet our new baby! He is a sorrel or cinnamon Abyssinian. Our very first cat was a Abby, Tokyo Joe was with us for 12 years and we loved him very much, that is when we fell in love with the breed, they are very loyal, loving and stay kitten like for their whole lives. Here is a little tidbit about the Abby breed .
Abby's are named  after Abyssinia (now called Ethiopia), the empire from which they were first thought to have originated; more recent research now places their origins somewhere nearer the Egyptian coast. Abyssinians are a slender, fine-boned, medium-sized cat. They have alert, and relatively large pointed ears. Abyssinians are claimed to be one of the oldest known breeds and there continues to be speculation and controversy concerning this history, the claim is that the sacred cats pictured on ancient Egyptian artifacts and hieroglyphics must have been Abyssinian cats and that is why it is suggested that this breed is the oldest in existence. In appearance, Abyssinians resemble the paintings and sculptures of ancient Egyptian cats which portray an elegant feline with a muscular body, beautiful arched neck, large ears and almond shaped eyes. Abby's today still retain the jungle look of felis lybica, the African wildcat ancestor of all domestic cats.The first Abyssinians to be imported to North America from England arrived in the early 1900s, and are noted to be one of the most popular breeds today!

We think he will do fine in the RV being a kitten, Minx is slowly warming to him, she has started playing with him and they take turns chasing each other. But mousers they are not, I was cleaning the bathroom the other day and with both cats, being the helpers that they are, were in there with me when I looked up and a mouse walked by the bathroom door and out into the living room. Minx looked at it then at me and then she laid down! For two days we have chased that silly mouse from room to room, trying to get it out of the house, with both of the cats watching us, secretly laughing at us behind our backs! We finally cornered it in the closet and Pierre took it outside! I sure hope the little one becomes a better mouser, I do not mind the little creatures, but not in my house!
We are getting ready to leave on the trip in about 10 days so we are scrambling to get the last things done and get the RV packed up! Pierre dropped the new Garmin and busted it, so it had to go back to Garmin and they are sending us a new one, then we are waiting on a piece for the engine, hopefully they both will come in next week and we can get gone on Monday the 16th. We are heading to Kansas to visit Kristin, Jordan and the grandkids, Jordan's has to go away for 10 days and I want to be able to be there to help Kristin!
