OMG.

What was I thinking?

Can you believe this? I'm at my neice's birthday party and someone mentions free kitties. I'm like "what was that?" and Darrell said "free what?" And I hear about this woman who's cat had babies again and she needs to get rid of them, so they're for free.

I look at Darrell, he looks at me, and after some dicussion we decide that we could take another critter in...


pictures to come shortly (i have to reboot)

I'm going to keep him in either the bathroom over night and while I'm at work or in the bedroom. he's got his own food & water dish, litter and bed box. He's 7 weeks old.

Any tips?? I could sure use some right now.

Ohmygosh! What a little cutiepie!
I love sleeping kitten pictures... and baby kitty paw pictures... he's so adorable!
So what's the little fellow's name? (My friend's friend has an orange cat he named "Nacho Kitty". Get it? Not your kitty? Kinda odd, but cute in its own way.)

Of course I had to say no, I'm up to 11 kitties so more is just not an option!

He is so cute! Was the lady so anxious to get rid of them that she couldn't keep him with mom for a few more weeks? I would get some KMR and pour it into a dish for him just to be safe along with his food. In reality, he should be with mom for at least 5 more weeks to be a well rounded kitten, but at least he is with someone who loves cats, and Roo can keep him in line!
I would also take him to the vet, check him for fleas and parasites and hope he is healthy. He does look in prime health, his coat is gorgeous. I would also invest in a Snugglekittie. He will be wondering where his littermates and his mom are.

you little one is adorable, and I love the sleeping pics too, such a tiny thing. I also agree with Hissy, probably should get her checked just to be sure everything is fine...

OMG what a beauty . No wonder you took him .To keep him separate for a while is a good idea till you get him/her ck out by the vet to make sure the baby is ok .

my congrats to you both

I would definitely get a FIV/FeLk test on him before you introduce him into the house.

He is handsome! What a face! I agree with Sam, he is a mini-Roo!

well, what a little stinker!

Last night I tried giving him a little box of litter and he starting eating it! I freaked out and told Darrell to get him away from the box. He only had a few granules but still I didn't like it one bit. So, with lots of supervision I let him inspect the litter last night and he went pee! We were so happy! Then this morning at about 7 am when I had to go pee I took him to his litter box too and after a little play he went pee again! Woohoo! NOW I'm awake (11am) and I took him to the box again and he went poo!!! YAY! I feel like a new mother!


OMG! He just fell off the cat post


I'm trying to kitten proof my house and I don't know what to do. There are no holes going outside... There are wires about but none of my cats chew them (Do you think Roo will teach this little guy stuff?)

Oh yeah, Roo seems to love him now. Tigger is gone, again. Probably under the bed. The scaredy-cat.

We don't have a name for him yet. It's going to be a name in the Winnie the pooh theme, but which one is yet to be chosen.
