    April 5th was Kimba's first gotcha day!

    Click image for larger version.  Name: kimba.jpg  Views: 52  Size: 16.2 KB  ID: 53223I was so busy with business yesterday I forgot to post that yesterday was Kimba's first Gotcha Day. He has gone from a semi-feral kitten who was covered in car grease into the beautiful white baby he is today. I will post pictures later, when I have time to get them from my camera to my computer. Rest assured, he is very beautiful, solid white without ANY markings and huge golden eyes that just beg for pets. He's a drooler, though. When he's on your lap getting loves, he just drools and drools and drools! He's quite a character. He'll never be a big cat, I'd say he's around 5 or 6 lbs, but he has a great big heart and an even bigger personality!

    As you can see, he loves to sleep in my big old spaghetti pot.

    Okay, here's how Kimba came to own me. It was around Christmas of 2010 and I was walking up my apartment driveway from my car to my front door. This little white kitten with a blue collar with a bell on it was standing at the end of the driveway looking at me. He was adorable, so I called, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" and he came running to me with his little bell jingling. He rubbed up against my leg and started purring. I then went inside and he ran off. I figured he belonged to someone so I really didn't think twice about it. I was talking to my apartment manager about a week later and I asked her if she had seen the little white kitten I had seen. She said someone had moved and just left him there but she was leaving food out for him. A few days later I saw him in someone's apartment window and felt happy! He had a home again! Fast forward about 2 weeks later, I saw him outside again and his pretty white fur was covered in grease, like he had been sleeping under cars. Well, that broke my heart and I went to see my apartment manager to find out what had happened. She just told me his new owners had just thrown him back outside. I told her that it was too bad I already had two cats (our apartment building's limit), or I would take him in. She said, "I wouldn't tell anyone. What three cats?" and smiled. So, about a week later, my son caught him and brought him inside. He was a bit feral at first and my other two fought with him constantly, but I would not put him back outside! Now the fighting is reduced to growls and they sometimes will sleep on the bed with him. Progress. He is a little stinker and I love him to bits!

    Awwww, Happy Gotcha Day Kimba! I remember when you got him, but I didn't remember the whole story. That was a great story!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Kimba says "Thanks" to everyone's kind comments. He told me to tell all of you that he was indeed spoiled on his very first Gotcha Day! But then, he's always spoiled. Thank you all again for your kind comments about my precious little boy.
