Henry’s New Kitten

Henry and Jango
It’s so cute to watch my boy hold his kitten
so tenderly.

Hey – you’ve been on the ground for 3 hours after flying home from 10 days in China. Wouldn’t this be a great time to adopt a kitten?!

Our babysitter’s cat had kittens on Father’s Day. Henry spent so much time with them and fell in love with them. I begged Dave to let us adopt one (yes, this is my fault). The babysitter’s family kept him extra long so we wouldn’t have to introduce him to the house while I was gone, but it made for a doozy of a day getting back!!

Henry wanted a Star Wars name for his kitten. I thought of the punny Kit(ten) Fisto. The babysitter suggested Wicket the Ewok. I nixed Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and General Grevious. Our friend Shona suggested "Jango", after the nefarious Bounty Hunter Jango Fett. Another friend joked that we could call him Jango Pett. It was a name we could all love.
We love having Jango in the house. (Ok, we humans do. Our other two cats are not nearly as thrilled.) And Henry is being so responsible and loving. I’m so proud of him.
