Dixie!

So three weeks ago, we got a cat for my birthday (I've been trying to post video of her, but it's taking too long to upload... Soon!). She went sans name for a couple of weeks. The past few days, we were playing with the idea of naming her Dixie, which I came to after going through the beers I've drank in my life and travels (seriously). While I'd love to call her Beerlaos, it doesn't sound all that nice, but Dixie, a beer from New Orleans, where Karel lived for a while, does.

Meanwhile, the cat, while she purrs incessantly, just does not meow. I've heard her meow once the whole time we've had her. So imagine our surprise when, today, she issued a meow and tried to climb up my leg to check out what I was drinking. Which happened to be a Dixie beer.

The cat apparently agrees with her new name, so it is now official: new kitty is now Dixie kitty.
