Latkes are very oily.
The kitten’s name is Jezebel. Here are more pictures! Kind of appropriate: the woman who brought pagan worship to the Jews (and was roundly condemned for it). There’s some indication that her brand of pagans were ‘depraved’, possibly those who fled Sodom and Gomorrah. Sadly, they’re also reputed to be violent. I’m hoping that will just show in the more modern meaning of ‘brazen’. Or in violent defence of the house against intruders. I decided against Phoenix because I’m the one who needs to rise from the ashes and she needs to be her own cat, not just a reincarnation of my old cat.
