My daughter found her alone on the side of a gravel road yesterday morning and brought her to my house. We think she’s about 6 weeks old. I had to edit the post title three times because she keeps stepping on the keyboard to attack and viciously lick my fingers.

    You will be blessed with an absolutely glorious cat.

    We once found an abandoned smoky grey longhair that young and that mighty cat was the ruler of our household for many years. May you have ages of love and hijinks with this kitty!

      We had a cat that passed away last year at the age of 22. I hope this little one makes it that long as well.

    So that is the gravel road cat, that I read about two or three times now. Cute little devil!

      After about a dozen tries I managed to get a half decent pic of her when she isn’t recharging so I figured I’d post it. Most of them end up blurry because if she isn’t asleep she’s going 45 mph.

        Well, she looks like a stuffie. A cute stuffy.

        And I’m really not surprised she’s rambunctious like that! Those eyes speak of mischief.

          She was pretty slow yesterday, but I guess the wet food we got her is doing wonders so far. She’s still wobbly and learning how to cat but it looks like she’ll be fine.

          Our other cats are not terribly impressed but they’ll get used to her in time. ( I think they know they’re in for a lot of trouble once she figures out her balance.)

            well, give them all schritches for me! I’m sure they’ll start teaching her to cat soon enough.

          I think I probably have more blurry pics than good ones of these critters despite deleting most of them. It’s hard to get a good pic of a cat… especially black ones.

      Thanks. We really didn’t want another cat but it seems fate decided we do.

      Soon I hope. We phoned around yesterday and all three vet clinics within 30 miles are booked solid this week but we left our info in case a spot opens up.

      Otherwise it looks like next week thursday.

      Not sure yet… we’re waiting to get an idea of her personality before we settle on anything.
