I post here infrequently about my two adult cats, Kimmy and Galahad. Never thought there would be a baby in the house, but here we are...
Yesterday morning as I left for work, I heard a very loud noise coming from my truck. I checked everywhere, but I couldn't find the source. Finally, I popped the hood and saw this little guy tangled up in the engine, scared to death! I got under the truck and freed him, and then he scurried down - and climbed right back up and got tangled again! Oh, boy. I got him out again and brought him in - I named him Dakota (after the truck). I am 99% sure he is a boy, but just in case - the name is androgynous!
He is a little cutie and very, very vocal. So far he is eating kibble, some wet food, and drinking water. Some people told me he was old enough to eat food and not KMR. I weighed myself and then held him and weighed again - did that a couple times and, using that method, he's roughly 2.4 lbs. Not sure how accurate this is...wish I had a kitchen scale.
My little guy likes to run around and is cautious about Kimmy and Galahad. They both were not too fond of him at first, but Galahad has seemingly warmed up to him just a little. Kimmy is not a fan, but I hope that changes!
Here are some pics! I am a newbie to the kitten world - as far as I know, this may be the first home he has ever had. I want to make sure he's treated right.
