This is Hubert, the newest member of the family. He is one month old and polydactyl, meaning he has 6 toes on his front paws.
Ward has been super lonely since we lost Oscar. He cries and cries and clings to me like crazy. So, I figured it was probably a good idea to get him a new friend to help him not feel so lonely. Everything I read said to get a kitten (not an older cat) to be a companion for a cat that has recently lost another cat. Apparently an older cat can be seen as a threat/the reason the other cat is now gone, causing the remaining cat to fight with the older, new cat. So, although I never get kittens and always adopt older cats, the humane society had a few kittens so I went there to get one.
And so, we have Hubert now. Ward seems to be fascinated by him. He likes to lick him a lot and wants to follow him around. Hubert seems more interested in exploring the apt at the moment, although they did snuggle for a minute.
Hubert is so cute. He's never gonna replace my big kitty Oscar, but at least he is cute and now Ward won't be so sad and lonely.

When I got a new cat, the older one was very affectionate. As the younger cat got older, she turned on him and became the alpha cat. Hopefully Hubert will continue to be snuggle friends. Welcome, Hubert!
