trying hard to be a better person

I hate to say this, but sometimes cats just don't integrate.
We recently had to find a new home for one of ours because she just couldn't get along with the other cats. We tried everything, and believe me, I mean everything. We tried for about 4 years! Finally we just couldn't stand it anymore and decided it would be better for her, the other cats and us, to find her a new home. We were lucky that a friend of a friend came to see her and loved her. She took a week or so to settle in, but now she's happy as a pig in poo. Probably because she's the only pet in the house and just sits around on the teenage boys lap most of the time. All's well that ends well, but it's sometimes the only way.

That's like getting a free pick in a Chocolaterie and going for the M&M cookie.

Jasper is the name of Grandpa Simpson's good buddy. The guy
With the long white beard.

Of course you do. Jasper's a fine name. But really, after picking the finest naming brains in the country ....what a waste......

You named him after a sparkly vampire. Lovely.

He does kind of look Jasperish about the face and head.
I dunno. when you try so many, it's just a matter of what sticks. The kids named our second cat Spike. He TOTALLY should have been Mr Wilson.

There's a British comedian who was big in the 80s called Jasper Carrott.
We should get your kitteh and my puppeh together as a comedy double act.
