Tom Nichols, who lost his cat Carla in April, has a new kitten as of August 22

I wasn't sure whether to post this in GD or here. Tom's tweets and columns for the Atlantic are often posted in GD, but I'd posted some of his tweets about Carla here in the Lounge. On May 10, Nevilledog posted a thread in GD about what Tom wrote for Carla for the Atlantic

and in the replies there I posted his April 24 tweet about losing Carla, and another reply with links to my three Lounge threads with some of his tweets about her.

For a while he was torn between wanting to adopt again, but not being ready.

Then on August 22:

And even with all the political news to comment on, his Twitter timeline is now largely tweets about Lily and photos of Lily. Which is delightful.

Anyway, it's very early on a Caturday, and I thought this would be a good time to tell you about Tom's new furbaby. And I agree with him that Carla had a paw in bringing them together.

3. What a cutie.

She's adorable. May you enjoy many years with her.

5. Not my kitten (though I think she's adorable). She belongs to Tom Nichols, who's quoted a lot on DU. If

you check the links in the OP, you'll find what he wrote for the Atlantic about the cat he lost last spring, and using the Google site search in the upper right corner to search for his name will turn up a lot of threads about him.

4. We have a cat that looks almost exactly like that!

We got her last fall and she’s about a year old.
