I adopted a new kitty a few weeks ago!
His name is Chippy* and he’s a big fluffy Maine Coon. My other two cats haven’t decided that he’s cool yet, but I sure like him. He’s a good kitty-blanket. Obviously he is a friend to the camera.
*Mrs. Chippy was the cat who accompanied Ernest Shackleton and his crew aboard the Endeavor on their 1914 expedition to Antarctica. Mrs. Chippy belonged to the ship’s carpenter (carpenters in England are called chippies) and the crew named the cat Mrs. Chippy because it followed the carpenter around like it was his wife.
