Kitty Love.

The kitten. Oh, the kitten. It's been a few years since I've had a very small kitty in my house, and it's truly joyful. I've been having so much trouble with the dog this week, and Mike was gone all week to the states, so it's a very good thing that I had this new little fuzzball to balance out all the negative things.

Here she is. Oh, and did I tell you? We named her 'Casino'.

She is completely adorable. When she walks slowly, you can really notice her limp, but when she gets moving, she's actually quite fast and extremely agile. She's completely fearless. She is incredibly trusting, rolling over for tummy rubs every chance she gets. She lets me hold her while I vacuum. And on the weekend, I took her to the mall with us. She slept in the bottom of my purse for four hours.

Right now she is living in Mo's room. As much as I think she'd be ok hanging out with the big cats, Trifle would gladly make a meal of her, so we're keeping them separated for now.


I'm in luuuurve. :)

She had her first checkup at the vet this week, and it was a very good one. First set of shots, confirmation she is, indeed, a she, and a good look at the missing leg. The vet foresees no problem with the missing limb. *whew*

I knew my other cats were not small, by most standards, but when I come back to the general population around here after playing with the kitten in solitary, my other cats look positively GIGANTIC.

Speaking of other cats, I should go and feed and water them, and lavish them with some love, or I'm going to have some jealous felines to contend with.
