Our Surrogate Child

We'd like you to meet Nike, our surrogate child. Actually he is cat #2 in our house, and has been quite perplexing to Diva, our older cat.
Nike was born in my workshop, and was very friendly, and liked to be petted and held. His mother took him and his siblings out to learn to hunt and be big cats, and we feared they might be gone for good. One cold evening a couple of days later, we had come home from town and heard him crying out in the yard while we were unloading the car. We tracked him down, and was he was glad to see us, he purred and snuggled in. He had three things going for him that evening, it was cold and dark, he was so darn cute, and we were in the mood for something small to take care of. So, he got to live in the garage for a while until he proved himself to be housetrained. That was a couple of months ago, he's quite a bit bigger than the was in the picture, and can be rather ornery at times.
Diva has had to learn how to play with another cat again, and she is more active now. He's quite enertaining to have around, and has been a good lesson for us in curbing bad behaviour, although I don't think you're supposed to discipline children with a squirt bottle!
