In the past I have mentioned taking our Adventure Cat along on our 2006 road trip to see the Thrashers play in Pittsburgh and Buffalo. It turns out that Adventure Cat is really not all that adventurous and would prefer to stay home rather than ride in the car.

Well this last weekend we added a 2nd feline member to our staff as three month old Zydeco will be helping us out. She can't read or type but she is good at keeping a lap warm or amusing us after a tough Thrashers loss.

Her name is Zydeco as she is an evacuee from New Orleans who was brought to Atlanta before Hurricane Gustav struck the Gulf Coast. Time will tell if she is a good road trip companion but we already know she likes hockey. She was watching the games on TV several times this week.
