Meet Oreo - Our new Kitten

We're either mad or just becoming crazy cat people but we have another kitten! Meet Oreo, our little 8 week old addition to the family.  It has been a crazy few days since we have got him adn we're still a little unsure of what Jack thinks yet. They have sniffed at each other, had a fews growls and a couple of swipes but all in all they seem ok.
