So my parents while visiting my sister found in my sisters cars engine a little Black kitten, crying away (no it wasnt on). It was raining so hard for so many days last weekend it sought shelter in my sisters car engine. Luckily my parents visited and heard it before my sister went anywhere.
My sisters kids are madly allergic to cats, so my parents brought it home. They recently had a dog that passed away and have a senior dog and senior cat, with the recent passing of the other dog, a new kitten is not in the cards for them right now.
They have it 'they think its a her 6-7 weeks old' in a spare bedroom, until they find her a home. My step mom tells me that she is All Black, that her face reminds her of a Siamese cat (because her face is long, that her nose is long and has a bump but not like shes been injured), that she has long legs & Brown eyes (which I think is odd for a kitty... shes little tho... I'm betting that will change).... I havent seen her for myeslf yet, she's only been described to me.
They ask me if I know anyone looking for a kitten. I tell them I'll ask around...
I sit, I ponder, I picture the descrption in my head... having a hard time putting it together... I google it... becoming more intrigued, I call my husband and tell him about her... he says that if my parents take the kitten to the vet & she gets a clean bill of health, then she can come home
I quickly call my step mom and ask her if she is willing to do that & she will! She said that if she will most certianly do that, if that will get her a loving home.
, so she is making an appointment asap.
SOOOO... This evening I'm going to go take a look at her
I'll try to take some pictures if I can
Help me out here... I have a few questions, I've NEVER had a KITTEN BEFORE... EVER! I have always adopted CATS... the youngest cat I've ever adopted was Max who was 10 months old... she 'thinks' this kitten is 6-7 weeks? She is eating crunchy food & is using the litter pan.
But... I'm SO NERVOUS! I've never had a kitten!
I've always read, that homes can have a million male cats but 1 female cat... am I DOOMING my home? by introducing a 2nd female cat into a household with 2 males & 1 female... the female, Yuki is the dominant cat in the house.
I use 14 & 15 Gallon Rubbermaid/Sterilite bins as litterboxes in my house... will these be TOO BIG for a little 6-7 week old kitten? My step mom says she jumps up on the table at her house when she has gotten out a few times... if she can jump up on a dinner table... surely she can jump into a 14-15 gallon litter bin? Or NO? People with Kitten & Sterilite bin experience advise?
I'll have more questions... a BUNCH! I'm so nervous! Thats it for now tho!
Wish me luck!
