Say hello to the newest addition to our family! (Kitty pics!)
Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce to you...Practice Baby! :bounce:


Checking out the house...


Surveying the kitchen....


Chasing the laser pointer...


Attack on the OldNavy bag!


He likes it under the coffee table :)


All tuckered out after a long evening of running, eating, and causing general mischief. :)

:hi:

3. Isn't he though?
He's a little bundle of cuteness! I'll give him kisses once he gets out from under the couch...He's sleepy. :)

12. little baby kittens have trouble with big kitty boxes
try a pie tin or a shallow cardboard box (with a plastic bag over it for wetness proofing)

it will help him. also, if he 'misses' put some of the clean up stinky stuff (buried under some litter in the box so he'll know where he 'should' be going

good luck!

13. Yeah, he had an accident, so
I did just that, and put the box where he decided to go. He's fine with hopping in and out of the box, no problem. He just hasn't quite fully grasped the concept yet. But, I can report that all excretory organs are very functional, and he knows enough to clean up afterwards. He's a voracious little eater! :o

I wanted to be different :)

One of my big decisions about moving revolve around the dogs. If its any consolation, I have a dachshund that stalks prey like a cat. Never catches anything, but she goes through the motions.

24. So lucky! I found a little girl on my block and brought her home
Edited on Sun Jun-03-07 08:19 PM by sfexpat2000
so she wouldn't become roadkill. After a week of watching her, I think she fell out of a window because she has something like spasms in her hind quarters. :(

Her coat is wonderful and she purrs up a storm. But there's something going on back there. I'm going to take her to my vet on Monday. She's so sweet, maybe a year old. Wish us luck!

37. Let him. He will bond with you that way.
When I brought mine home, he was terrified so I put him under the covers and there he stayed for 2 days. Now I can't get rid of him...not that I want to.

26. Oh. My. Gawd.
What a handsome addition to the family. He's so smooshy and I want to eat him up.

This is Suki's first night with us:



Beware of the nipples. She was younger than Practice Baby, so you may not have the problem we had. But Suki not only tried to taste my nose, she practically pierced my ear and tried to get dinner from my nipple when we fell asleep with her on the couch.

Enjoy your new baby!

He seems ok being away from Mom...eating a ton, and drinking a bunch of water, probably to make up for lost milk. Very alert and energetic little bugger, he is. :)

continuing to have problems, but it sounds like he's well on his way to being trained. I have no doubt it won't be long before you're in love with him!

61. I think he ate too much though...
I couldn't find the soft food she was giving him, so I had to get a different kind (situation to be remedied tomorrow), and he really liked it, and ate a ton, and then had a loose movement. I'm sure it's the food change and stress though, as the one he had earlier was perfectly normal. He's thirsty too, possibly dehydrated and/or missing milk. But, he's an incredibly lively and hilarious baby. Nice bright clear eyes, tons of energy. I think we'll be just fine. :)

65. Another cute kitten! Awww.......
I have a total soft spot for kittens!


I see you have a laser pointer. This is great fun...


When the kitten's on a nice slippery linoleum floor, swirl the laser dot around it. If you do it right, you can get it to spin around at full throttle while going absolutely nowhere!

My record is ten complete circles with my kitten, The Fluff. After that many, they can't run straight for a minute or two, either. :evilgrin:


Ah, the laser pointer... remote control for cats.
