Meet Flicker!

Here are some images of our new kitty, Flicker. We finally decided that her name is Flicker because she flicks her tail vigorously when she walks and becauses she watches the birds, including flickers, so intently that she can almost bore a hole in the window glass. You don't want to interrupt her concentration when she is watching the birds, because she'll grab your hand and mouth it for a few seconds. 

She is about 9 months old. She likes strutting around the house, sitting on the windowsills, and sleeping at the foot of the bed. She and Ike are getting used to each other. Ike, who has always been good with cats, wanted to kiss her when she first got here, but she thought he was going to eat her, so she flicked out that long left and punched his nose.
