Alastor

I found this sweet little guy a few weeks ago stuck up under an SUV in a parking lot. After crawling around on the ground like a crazy (cat) lady to coax him out of his dangerous hiding spot, I discovered that I had a tiny, hungry, and dirty kitten on my hands. I took him to the vet straightaway and learned that despite being all alone in a parking lot at only 4 weeks old, he was pretty healthy. He weighed in at 1.3 pounds, and after a nice bath (or two) and some food he was good as new.  He is sweet, curious, and loves to help me study (aka nap while I read outlines and do practice questions).

He gets his namesake from Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody of Harry Potter fame. Where Mad Eye has a peg leg, my kitten has (what I have deemed) a peg tail. The seemed fitting considering my other cat is named after one of my favorite Harry Potter characters, Luna.
