Meet Trout

Hey, everyone! I haven't posted on the cat side in a LONG time! But, I have reason to today! My niece is a teacher living in a small town, and, there's not a lot going on where she is. She was debating between a ferret and a cat, and, asked me for advice. Well, she ended up getting this little kitten. She was told he was around seven or eight weeks old. He's a doll, and, really fun. We went to the store last night to get him some things...a catnip toy, a couple of hanging rectangular scratching "posts", nail clippers...and, then it was time for Aunt Kari to take photos! He actually liked the camera, which made it easy to get a few good shots. They're not awesome, mind you, I was only there one night and haven't photographed a kitten in ages. Robyn's an avid reader and a language arts teacher, and, named him after Kilgore Trout, a recurring character in many of Kurt Vonnegut's novels. Enough talking...here's Trout.

Sittin' pretty...

reading Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat"...no, seriously! :) She decided on "The Tell Tale Heart", but, is going to read my favorite, "The Black Cat", closer to Halloween...

Oh, no warning needed, but, thank you! :) We were standing there talking, getting ready to head out for Walmart and mexican food...next thing you know, Trout's almost all the way up Robyn's leg. Like a tree. It was so funny, but, OUCH! He did that several times while I was there, but, started to slow down as he began to realize he got squirted every time. :) My niece bought four water bottles to place strategically around the house (we each kept one on our hips like guns on holsters!). He'll learn. :) And, I cut his claws really short, so, that will help! He didn't even squirm when I was trimming them, he's actually really sweet. With a devil streak, as you noticed already!

What a cutie pie baby tuxie! :D

Trout is gorgeous! :D Oh yes, I remember a certain kitten climbing up my leg like a tree! Agony, but so cute.
