More photos of Schooner, the kitten whose [adoption and naming](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=499189) I [blithered on about](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=500382) not long ago. The name has stuck; the kitten has been growing; my camera has been hard at work.

I don’t normally repond to kitty pictures. I love teh kittehs ( I have a kitty), but there are so many cute ones here on this board it’s too much to write. But, man, your kittehs are really sweet. That made my morning. The new one has awesome markings and nice soft biiiiggg paws. He’ll no doubt grow into those paws and ears and be a nice, big fuzzy boy. The three blondes look so soft! I was talking out myself out loud about how cute those babies are. Thank you! 🆒 ---

When your cat sleeps on it’s head that means rain (or snow) within 48 hours. Did your cats grow up together? ---

Yesterday Schooner had his first visit to the vet. Verdict: At a mere 13 +/- weeks old he is already 5.1 pounds (and I swear he grew another half-pound’s worth overnight!), robustly healthy, able to charm vet techs with a single purr, and destined to be a big cat. He did not approve of the experience but quickly regained his composure when returned to his happy home. His intra-carrier cry sounds remarkably like “Why? Why? Why?”
