I was so glad to find such a site with such great info and people. I am hoping that along the way I can learn a lot from all of you, as I am very new to being an owner of a gorgeous little male kitten. (are boys gorgeous?) My BF adopted the cat for me as an early C'mas gift-something I had wanted for sooooo long. The kitten is gray and white, and as mentioned, a male. When I asked the women who we adopted the kitten from which breed this cat was, she said it was just a gray and white shorthaired cat and thats what it is known as. This didnt seem to right to me, but we are making a trip to the vet within the next week and I am hoping to get some insight on this.
I still have yet to name the kitten and I am hoping you guys could help. I am not that big on naming it things like "pumpkin," or "cuddles", I was thinking more along the lines of a unique name- if you have any suggestions, please feel free to share!
Last nite was kitten's first nite with me, and she was very playful. Usually I get a good 7 hours of sleep...not last nite. I think my boyfriend and I got a total of an hour and a half sleep. I would put kitty on my bed and then he would jump down immediately. As soon as he was down, he would meoooow until I picked him up--this went on for hours. Is this typical for a young kitten who was just plucked away from his family? I am hoping the constant meowing will subside, as I live in an apartment and do not want to upset neighbors.
I am trying to gather as much info as I can. It is now my job to be a wonderful parent to this kitten. Any tips, pointers or suggestions that you may have would be so welcomed
Thank you guys! I look forward to being a part of these forums!

So glad you joined us and look forward to getting to know you better!
Congratulations for your new member of your family, you are so smart to want to learn everything possible so you can provide the very best of care to your baby! Please feel free to ask us anything at all! 
As we get to know his personality better, I'm sure his name will become apparent! I would be so happy to help you in any way as you learn your way around the site. Please, simply click on my user name and send me a Private Message!
I can understand wanting to come up with a unique name for your kitten... maybe if you post some pictures, or narrow it down to a theme (Disney movie, Christmas-time, arist name?) we could help!
