A few years ago we had a bunch of feral kittens show up on our porch and ended up taking in two of them (old thread here: Anyone have experience taking in feral cats?) and they’ve been great cats ever since.
There’s a new little orange kitten who showed up a couple of weeks ago, a male I believe. I’ve been working on making friends with him. When I first saw him his eyes were still a little bit blue so he is still quite young. Still has that squat little chubby kitten body. Very friendly, and still young enough he thinks everything is food so he’s a little bitey at the moment (well, more “nippy” than bitey, really), but he’ll grow out of that.
We’re getting our guest room ready to quarantine him for the next couple of weeks and he has an appointment at the vet on Monday afternoon for shots and a general checkup. He doesn’t come around every day so we’ll probably just grab him and bring him in whenever we see him tomorrow or Sunday.
My wife has been upset the sisters we took in 2.5 years ago bonded with me and not her, so cute as he is, I’m letting her feed him and take care of him. He will be “hers.”
I know you want pictures! Mostly what I have of him is video which I can’t really upload here, but these photos were taken a couple of days ago:
Pretty sure the tortoiseshell in the 1st photo is his mother. Got to get her fixed at some point. Think she might actually be a sister of the two we took in before, which would make this little guy their nephew.
