[Elspode]

Well, I can't really top nine ferrets, let alone the one elsewhere, but nevertheless...meet Anu, as in "A New" Kitty (and also the name of an ancient Sun god). As my wife lay in bed at her grandparents' house while her grandfather was crossing over into the next world, little Anu mewled pitifully beneath the window. He was the abandoned runt of a litter of kittens born to a deaf mother cat that had given birth in the neighbor's boat, and he was cold, wet and hungry when Mrs Elspode bundled him in.

As Pagans, we believe that things happen for a reason, and finding a new life on the cusp of the passing of an old life, especially one as significant as her grandfather, was sort of a no-brainer.

Plus, he's really cute.
