Just thought I’d add… Pet-sitting for some friends for the weekend… Two dogs, two cats. I’m -so- not a morning person… I forgot the friends are… Sooooo… At way too early this morning, I have a cat on my face, mrowing, “Hey! The sun’s up! It’s time for food!”  
He was too cute for me to kill.

Dude, you did not actually say that did you? My god, you make me…

REALLY HAPPY! I’m a cat guy too…nice to see another male going gaga over a cute, widdle, fuzzy, fluffer kitten! Yes you are! Yes you are!  
um…ahem…move along.

I can think of no better way to delurk that to say that Cuervo is absolutely the CUTEST kitten I’ve seen in a long, long time (next to my little girl, of course).

Keep that little devil fed and you’re gonna have a heck of a fine crop of Cat in a few years, Mr. Bus Guy Person.

Yup - update. I was off here yesterday or I would have put this up then.

He’s doing great. I bought him a catnip mouse, that he alternately beats up and sleeps with. Also a feather on a stick that he talks to when we play. The appetite is still good, and he started drinking water from the bowl. I was concerned about the water and giving him droppers but now he’s drinking I stopped that.

The other cats have seen him when the door’s open. Scarlett stood there and hissed, but Marty just looks and when I come out of the room, make sure I remember He’s the Man.

I’m home today from work, so as soon as I get a bowl of Rice Krispies, I’ll run up and grab a couple pics to update.

Okay, I suggest you just have a thread of only Cuervo’s pictures. Just post after post of cute widdle kitten pictures. How’s that? I think maybe that would make me feel better. Until then . . .

**POST MORE PICTURES!**

(no, even a thousand of them wouldn’t be enough! I loves me little orange kitties!)

**Whifton** , welcome. Glad you’ve left lurkyland 🙂

**mr bus guy** , he’s soo cute, don’t you just want to keep him in your pocket?  
🙂 You _are_ doing a good thing by rescuing him, but I suspect, he’s kinda rescuing you too.

UPDATES!!!

Cuervo is doing well. The appetite is great, there’s still some wheezing in his chest that I’ll call doc about today, but his energy level is up to full speed ahead.

\*\*The Original Best Cat Ever was Ernie. \*\* That cat is the reason I have a weakness for Orange boys. When Ernie died, \*\*bus kid \*\* gave me a Beanie Baby that looked like him. Ernie guards my glasses on the bedside table, and wears my wedding ring on his paw when I’m not. I felt it was time for Ernie and Cuervo to meet:

[So this is Ernie?](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/sniffing.jpg)

[You don’t smell like a cat, I think I will sniff you to death!](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/grrrr.jpg)

And he escaped last night while I ran out to put away his medicine. The other kids were downstairs eating so I let him wander a bit:
