Chickpea

As many of my friends and family already know, Katie is feline barren. That is, she is incapable of producing cat offspring. I don't hold this against her, although some of my friends think I should. Instead, we figured out a way to get around this obstacle. This past weekend we went out to an animal rescue center in Brooklyn to adopt a kitten. His name is Chickpea, and he is the cutest thing since Elle Fanning.

Here he is playing with his favorite toy, a representation of the plight of Native Americans (always on the white man's string).

To provide some idea of how adorably small he is, here he is next to the critically acclaimed film "1 Night In Paris."And here he is last night after finding out that Sanjiya made it through yet another week on "American Idol."
