Squeeeee! Baby kitty! He’s so cute!

Do be sure to get lots of pics of him now when he’s little and has those huge ears- the pics of Katya, the younger Neville kitty, from when she was little and had big ears are so cute…

Newsflash: Cuervo survives the night in my care.

His appetitie is ungodly. Since I posted last night, this half-pound cat has polished off about half of a small can of soft food, took a plentiful pee on the towel in his little box-lid bed, and this morning let loose a humongous doody.

Good signs all. And the wheezy noise is only there when he’s excited, such as when I pick him up and we nuzzle-nuzzle.

(I did not admit to that, just for the record)

**Anne Neville** suggested pics of him by his namesake brand and I thought that’s a good way also to show just how wee and tiny he is.

Note to self: Flip that insipid blanket over so the background isn’t so cluttered in his pictures

Nope. Check the URL of the link. All you have to do is upload the photos to a hosting site like Photobucket, then link to them from the Advanced Post screen.

All those who become total wusses with the baby talk and kissing when confronted by a cute kitten are just a bunch of…

…people just like me.

HAH!  
Good on you, **Mr. Bus Guy** and your exchange with your wife is priceless. You men are so transparent.

As I started another thread on my new pussy, I thought I would share a picture [of Tiger](http://photobucket.com/albums/v600/ShirleyUjest/?action=view&current=IMG_3339.jpg) . ( He is just coming out of the closet. Hmmmmmm…maybe I should have named him **Sampiro** 😃😃

Oh, and I have always been partial to orange cats, too. And torties. And bengal-lys. And Siamese. And all grays.

I don’t like white cats, though.

**Shirley** , your Tiger looks almost exactly like my Lucky, only a bit more orange. I miss living with cats ☹

Awwwwww!!! Cuervo is an adorable little guy, and lucky to have you and your family in his life. Stories of folks helping abandoned kittens always make me cry (in a happy sort of way).

My purry little foundling [Clarice](http://www.magespace.net/clarice.jpg), my kitty boys Tenshi and Ozzy, and I wish little Cuervo all the best!

(And **silenus** , your kittens are gorgeous too!) 🙂

Ooooohhh! What a pretty little orangy kitty! He’s adorable now. I think he’ll be an even cuter cat.

Awwwwww! He’s so tiny, and fluffy, and cute!

The Neville kitties, both of them rescued, thank you for taking in a poor homeless kitten.

I’ve had cats forever, and this guy just gives me a nice feeling. I feel so bad for what he went through to get here, I’m taking his recovery and survival pretty seriously.

This afternoon, he enjoyed his first semi-crunchy food, and dug right in.

Also, the wheeziness is gone. I think last night was just all the stress of people fawning, the move and noise upsetting him. He’s calmer now, and just loves attention. And food, he’s digging food.

Thanks for all the kind words! I’ll post a pic now and then.
