Well, I finally got a kitten last night. It was quite a night. I'd say we're going to be in the adjusting stage for a while to come. Lots of hissing and posturing. Oddly enough, it is the little one who seems to be instigating..... or maybe that's just what I see. But he did hiss and growl first.

Last night was interesting to say the least. I woke up at around 4 am with the kitten on my head, a few little balls of poop and some blood stains. I scrubbed him down and examined him, but only saw one small puncture on the inside of his upper leg. It doesn't look serious, but, of course, we will be visiting the vet as soon as possible.

I also have to be certain that it is a boy. My friend, who is a nurse, and myself, with some experience in nursing and lots of pets over the years, could not be sure. I'm thinking it's a girl. Does anyone know with kittens if the testicles descend like human babies? Either way, I want to have him/her spayed or neutered. Even though I don't let my cats out without supervision, I know there are sadly too many unwanted strays.
