so,my buddy calls me and says he saw a kitten fall out from under a car and bounce down the road and scurry under his car,
he takes a look under his car but cant find the cat and drives away.
Then he calls me and tells me the story and says everytime he parks his car he hears "MEOWING" and he knows the bugga is in there somewhere but cant find the critter anywhere - so he knows that I own a few cats and know alot about cars and tells me to find this thing before it gets SQUASHED lol
So I drive on down to his place and get under the car and I look up at the gas TANK and see 2 eyes looking back at me - the Kitten no more than a month old has been riding up in the gas TANK pocket for atleast 40 miles
in the 95+ degree heat - He,which I later found out is a boy kitty was scared(I would be too) dehydrated and hissing at me
so I grab the bugga(with care) and get him down from the greasy car
Place him in a box and drive him to my house,in the hopes I can find him a home - which I have had no luck,so It looks like now he is mine.
So after a day of quarenteen in my garage and some food and water
the kitty is purring like a Hemi,happy and very playfull -
gave him a bath(he stunk) I think he has fleas,kinda scratchy
We have an appt at the Vet Saturday for some shots and a full exam
He is a very well behaved and quicky adjusting to domestic life
very apprecitive - I saved another kitty

Day one



Day 2,after bath - its good to be the king


Oh and heres Zeppy,1 year old fully grown and fat
she went from this
to this

Hi little sweetie pie, Tank.

I love orange kitties...Zippy, you are beautiful.

Bravo to you for giving your kitties a loving home.

He is absolutely adorable, but is everyone certain he's a he?
Isn't that a tortoisehell? That's supposed to be a sex linked female trait, like calico I thought.

I mean, I have seen male calicos, but they're pretty rare

Either way, absolutely gorgeous kitty, you both are lucky to have found each other.

I have to agree with Arlyn, Torties are usually female. And orange cats are male 70% of the time. You have some rare cats on your hands, there!

They are both beautiful. Tank! LOL!

Looks like a female?
how does a cat "Look" M or F?

I will know in the morning at the DR's
but im curious how a cat looks like a particular sex?

She/He has a cold,a little more sneezing than I would like to see,and a runny eye - but very active and eating like every meal was its last
