Mid-Atlantic Gardening: A Home for a Sweet Kitten?, 0 by critterologist

We're tempted to keep him ourselves, but this isn't the right time for us to add a kitten. We decided a few years ago that our older cat would just wear himself out trying to keep up with a kitten, so we 'd probably remain a 1 cat household. Also, just last week our vet found a heart murmur during Blake's checkup, so until we get that diagnosed and treated it's probably best to limit stress and activity around here. Blake is usually friendlier than other cats can stand, but he is not taking to this little guy... so the kitten is only a temporary guest.

The kitten is eating moistened Purina One Kitten Chow, and after a couple of snacks, he's getting the hang of eating food from a bowl. He seems familiar with the litter box concept -- another reason to think he was an indoor kitten.

He was clear-eyed and alert but a little subdued when he arrived. As he's feeling more settled and enjoying a full belly, he's also getting more playful.

Shoelaces are a special fascination!
