Last night we signed the papers, checked off a lot of boxes, agreed not to eat any kittens, and handed over the adoption fee. On Sunday evening, Piccadilly Circus will be joining our family and will undoubtedly reign supreme over Hobbes and Lemon.

Piccadilly Circus won fair and square, but we were definitely leaning in that direction anyway. It was Ed’s idea, and of the 5 cats that have shared our household, I suppose it’s only fair that he gets a say in ONE of their names .. plus, there are so many nicknames that will come out of it.

Also, stickers!

this was a happy coincidence: i didn’t even know i had a piccadilly circus sticker until i went looking for something new to put on lola!
