Sept 2008:  Here are pictures of "Syd" aka Malinko.
He is named Syd as in Sydney, Australia. My friend from Australia helped me pick out the name last night.   The transition has been very easy for him. Last night he spent on my bed, and today he is already active, running around the house (new favorite toy is a crinkly paper ball) and playing in the bathtub!
Thanks!  Elizabeth

 Update:

Introduce a kitten to a bunch of directors and what do you get? A name change. I veto'd Spike Lee, but he is now known as Sydney Pollack. LOL .  The little girl in the [1^st] picture is Emma :)
