And another one. Back in early June, I went to my house one Friday afternoon. I was putting food out for Foster & Little Man when I heard the unmistakable cry of a tiny, frightened kitten. I went around the corner and there it was. It scrambled under my house as soon as it saw me.

I tried for about an hour to coax the little one out from under my house to no avail. I finally gave up and went back to the back porch. I was sitting on the driveway playing with Foster & Little Man with a string toy when he reappeared from under the house. He eventually walked in front of my garage and the doors were open. He slipped inside and I jumped up and shut the doors. Ha! Trapped. He lived in my garage for the next 2 weeks. These were some of the first pics I took of him.





These were taken on June 20, the same day I moved him into my house (the same house that I'm still not living in yet). He is there alone. I can not take him where I am living now. So it's either in my house alone, or outside (my house is on a three-lane one-way street with 40MPH).







He has since been to see the vet. Well, the vet came to us. It's a mobile vet in an RV. He was tested for the whole feline luk/aids thing and that came back negative. He received his first round of kitten shots and vaccinations. The vet & his assistant knew that I had not yet decided on a name. I told them that at first I thought the kitten was a female, but that I was starting to have my doubts since I was starting to see the formation of 2 dark little circles.
The vet took a look and said, "Boy! Does he have some! I think you should name him Deuce!" I haven't decided yet, but they put that on the paperwork. I had always said when I got another male cat I wanted to name him Rhett. What do you all think? Deuce or Rhett? They guessed his age to be about 10 weeks at the time of the vet appointment. So that means about 8 weeks old when he showed up at my house.

These 2 were taken this past Thursday.





These 2 were taken yesterday, after his first bath.

He is gorgeous! I vote Deuce. My thoughts different than the vets. Little Man is # 1 and this little guy is # "Deuce".
Cheesy, but he is cute no matter his name.

The vet mentioned something about the movie Wyatt Earp & Johnny behind the deuce. Not having ever seen the movie, it made no sense to me.

It could be little deuce....or tee deuce.
That's sort of where Little Man came from. When I first saw him, he was still intact. Then over 2 years later, he shows up neutered....no longer a man, but a little man. Silly, I know.

When will you be moving in with him?
Unfortunately, I can't answer that. I am about to lose my job in the next month or so.
They are closing the office I work in. The only reason I am still employed is because I am one of the 4 people who will be there till the end, packing up everything.

I was just about ready to have all the plumbing (water lines, vents, drains) replaced on my house and this happened. I have money saved for it, but if I don't find a job, I may have to tap into that money to pay my house note. That means the plumbing job is on hold. I have no hot water in the house, no kitchen sink drain, and no washing machine drain. I already got under the house and cut it all out.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!

He is extremely adorable, whatever you decide to name him. I like both names.
I think he is going to be gorgeous. I
pointed kitties. I'm so glad you posted photos of him!

Many for your job and housing situation.
