Welcome to the family, Mako!

Chris and I recently got another cat. His name is Mako, because it sounds cute with Mika. M&M! Because I chose the name Mika, Chris got to choose Mako's name.

I fell in love with him when we saw him at the RSPCA last weekend. We only went in to pet the puppies, but this guy was so affectionate that our hearts went out to him. And we also thought it was cute that he looked so much like Mika ;) Sometimes I find it hard to tell them apart. Mika has some black in her fur and she is a little smaller, while Mako is white and cream and his face is a bit 'boofier' than her's.

Anyway, he'd been on my mind since we left the RSPCA on Saturday, and last week, Chris came home with Mako as a surprise! Mika was so angry at first. She hissed and puffed up, and wouldn't let him near her. But two days later, they were cuddling up :)

Aren't they so cute together?
Mako's closest to the window. Mika's the one with her paws neatly tucked under her.

I think they're really happy together, and Mika isn't as spoiled as she used to be. She used to act up quite a bit because we were away from home during the day, but now she's got a friend, she's less bored.

I think the real test is when they are able to both sleep on the bed at the same time! At the moment, Mako hogs the bed and swipes at Mika if she tries to get up. Hopefully, that will pass and they can become best buds :)
