Awww, SO cute!
But just make sure he doesn't belong to anyone else...IF he does, they'd be sick with worry!
I don't want to ruin your chances (LOL) of keeping him - but just imagine if it was you missing that dear little cat!
But you said you would check into any owners tomorrow, so that's good.
I kinda hope there AREN'T any! :D
Ack.. that was dumb...I dont know if it is a he or a she...I'll check tomorrow. :p
Be thinking of names though! :D
I'll get more pictures of "it" tomorrow. I have weight lifting right away in the morning, but check back tomorrow afternoon!
The kitten sure is a cutie pie and I sure hope that you'll be able to keep him/her.:) If it's a girl I'd name her Summer because you got her during the summer. If it's a boy you could name him August or Gus for short. As Lorraine said, Chance is always a great name too and so is Lucky. I'm sure you'll come up with a great name.:)
I HAVE HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH FEREL CATS. MAKE SURE YOU PUT A LITTER BOX IN IT'S NEW CAGE/DWELLING. IT IS FELINE'S NATURAL INSTINCT TO COVER THEIR STUFF. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT LET IT BITE YOU, IT PROBABLY HAS NOT HAD SHOTS. TO TRANSFER THE FELINE, JUST PUT THE TRAP INTO THE CAGE, OPEN THE TRAP, BUT MAKE SURE THERE IS NO WAY IT CAN ESCAPE. IF YOU BOND WITH IT DAILY, IT WILL ADAPT FAST, IT IS YOUNG. IF YOU NEED A PLACE FOR IT, AND IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO ME, I CAN BRING IT TO MY RESCUE.
All is perfect this morning! :)
The kitty USED the litter box. :D It is eatting and drinking fine. One question though, do I keep feeding it, as it finishes its food, or limit its intake? If limited, how much food?
When I came downstairs today, my parents said we could keep it, but it had to be outside. :rolleyes: If I let it go outside, it's obviously going to run away, especially with two other cats that go outside and three dogs. :mad: I'm going to try and explain that it has to stay in the house for a while, to settle down, and just keep it up in my room, and hopefully they'll forget about it. :cool: :p Keep your toes and fingers crossed that this little one gets to stay safely in the house.
Also, my dad said that there are three more kittens...when he went and got the trap where it was set, two more were hanging out beside it. He is going to trap those ones, and bring them home too! :D I'm not going to push for 4 kittens to stay in the house, but hopefully at least one will get to. We have apropriate housing outside too. We have a "Cat House" that is two stories, top story is a two bedroom thing, and the bottom is a sunroom where the food is. Wish us luck on everything!
I haven't decided on a name yet though, if forgot to check the sex of it. :o AGAIN... :p
You should name it Adorable. Because you could never find a name that fits him/her better ! :)
Well, did your grandpa trap it in the forest? If so, be it a male or female, you could name the kitty Forrest (adding an "r' to be different). And it is an adorable baby! The best of luck and bless you for having a warm heart toward animals.
...my my - we all just love babies, don't we? By the time I had posted my response about the name, there were so many posts mine came up on page two! LOL Looks like that baby will have its pick of names and plenty of love!
I would put a litter box in the acge , and keep her in there until she gets her bearings, and is calm enough where she will trust you.
You have a Do It Yourself Cat Kit there.
Take a Kitten, add Food , Water and Love and you will have one Gorgeous Tabby Cat.
The Found Cats and I are praying for You and your New Princess.
Congratulations on your new kitten! A feral kitten even smaller than that would not allow you to touch it, so it has been handled though it might not have spent time inside.
Kittens should be free fed until they are about 6 months old, and even up to a year is fine. They are like teenage humans, very fast metabolism and rapid growth, so they need plenty of good food. Use kitten food if you can, it is higher in fat.
Thanks everyone!
As soon as my mom leaves the kitty is comming up to my room. She is using the litter box in the kennel just fine. :D
Me and my mom both agree that it is a girl, but I'm not 100%. ... I'm not good at telling the sex of cats. :o
I was thinking Charli/Charlee/Charly/Charley I can't get that name out of my head!! I'm still open for suggestions!!
New pictures comming soon, I'll add them to this thread. :)
I let the kitty go in my room next to its water, food and litter box. The first thing it did was sit down next to the litter box. I didn't notice anything untill I smelt something awful :p and she had urinated and pooed on my carpet :rolleyes: ug...
My mom told me that we really couldn't keep her in the house, so I had to let her outside. She is in the cat house right now, with fresh food and water, and a bed. I hope she sticks around, especially since we will hopefully be bringing home her brothers and sisters.
Here are a few new pictures I took of her:

I really want her to be an inside cat, and it so happens that it is my best friends birthday tomorrow... ;) My best friend Kylie, adores cats, so I'm going to see if she wants her. Of course I'll have to make sure it is ok with her parents first, since she lives at home. If not, the girl will stay here, and reside on our farm (hopefully with her brothers and sisters forever. :D
Awwwwwwwwwwwww! I LOVE her and LOVE the name Charlie!
Too cute! She can't escape from there can she?
*squish*
~Aki :D
She looks so sweet and adorable. It would be worth to look at her and put her in the litterboy whenever you think she's getting nervous... Kitties of that age are easily to train. One or two days of watching should do it.
I love her. If she has brothers and sisters you'll have to find homes. Your family is very nice but 4 teenage kitties is a tough thing :)
