LOL! We now have #10, again!

I was at the club to pick up stuff from the bake sale yesterday.  I went near the back door. I heard a meow.  On the loading dock steps sat a very cute older kitten--mostly black, but definitely a tuxie. he/she looks a lot like Sarah Jane! It was ADORABLE sitting on the steps and meowing toward the back door. It ran under a storage building. I cut up a hot dog from the kitchen to lure it, but no go.  I phoned my husband to come over to trap it, which we did.  He/she (I haven't picked it up nor touched it yet to find out) is resting in the carrier.  It did meow a few times when Leo came into the room. Don't worry, the carrier is up high where the other cats can't get to it until I prep the quarantine room.

Three years ago, on another Sunday morning, I was sent a dear little black kitten, Sarah Jane.  This must stop. 
 You know those plans where you can gift someone the service of having a fruit basket delivered every month for a year? I think someone is playing a cruel joke on me, but with kittens: the Halloween kitten basket.

I'll be honest, I didn't want a #10, but I couldn't leave it, and I'm a sucker for black cats, and especially, black kittens. Ok-- I fell in love at first sight. So there.

Black cats rock!

I'm all set for Halloween. I have one black cat and one orange and black cat. Neither gets outside that week.

It's a boy! (We think!). Since he was found at the Marine Corps League, he's named LeJeune Daley Smedley (plus our surname). (Camp LeJeune, Daniel Daley,Smedley Butler.) We'll just go with "LeJeune" or "June" for everyday occasions! LOL.

We will try to resist buying him any Marine Corps-related cat merchandise. I know it must exist out there somewhere.

Congratulations on the new cat! I love black cats too. I only have two (black ones, I have plenty in other colours.) Someone please send me a black kitten for Halloween!

Don't let your DH hear you say that! That would make #24, wouldn't it??

Well, technically I'm only 2 cats over my limit of 20 because Gin kun has gone missing. Do you think he'd notice another small black kitten? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't.
