Sergeant (well, Sergent, but I think for the purposes of this LJ I'll stick to the English spelling) is now at home with me.



He's settling in pretty well. The cats are furious: Pan-Pan is hiding in the highest place he was able to find, Smudge has disappeared, and George is hissing sporadically at the proceedings from inside the recycling bin. Yeah, I don't know either.

Unfortunately, the poor guy is still waiting at the door for his Mommy and Daddy to come back. I'm going to take him for a walk in an hour or so in the hopes that this will cheer him up. His Mommy cried when she left, poor thing. I think this separation is going to be hard on all of them, but I have promised to email regular updates to them, and they live close enough that they can come visit if they want.

He's gorgeous. Such a sweet face.

Poor traumatized kitties! I hope they all adjust well, and soon. Oh, and I like the English spelling, which is the one that always looks correct to me even though I am American. I am not sure why this is; perhaps because I read a lot as a kid. I also think "cancelled" is correct.

He's very sweet. The cats will adapt, I'm sure. ;)

What's the American spelling of sergeant? Is it not spelled the same way?

Er, I assumed it was the one without the "a," just because you'd specified Sergeant as the British spelling.

I'd have to look it up to be sure, though. Generally I am a human spellcheck program, but that's one of those few words I will consistently get confused on.

Hee! Oh, no, "Sergent" is the French spelling, it's not British. He comes from a French-Canadian family. :)
