Our New Pet Kitten
“Jomba” is the cat who is black and white that we got from another family, the Wilcox’s. He’s got cute pink paws and a pink nose. I like him, I really do! “Jomba” means “uncle” in Yao. We gave him a tube and we call it, “Jomba’s tube,” and he bats it with his paws.

“Jomba” is our new cat and we made him a cat toy. It is made out of an old tube, and he likes it. We really like him. He’s a fun cat as well. We just got him, and he still has to get use to our house. We will feed him, and groom him, and he’ll sleep in my brother’s room. So “Jomba” is our cat.

Since the “visitation” of rats in our house, and even in the glove box of our car, we began the discussion of getting a cat to keep out the rats. Before “Jomba,” Jesse and I chased a rat down in our house at night, me with an axe, Jesse with a machete, and killed it. Another night, we chased one into the closet, where once it was cornered, literally leaped into the air at me. Pretty freaky. All that to say that our new cat “Jomba” will both be a good rat hunter (we hope) and will also bring our children much joy.
