Well, Vincent really isn't that old - he is just 1-year-old, like Claudia was when we adopted her. We do like to adopt ones that are not tiny kittens anymore, though, b/c it's tougher for them to find homes sometimes. Leo was supposedly between 1 and 2 when we adopted him, but he could've been a couple of years older than that - you never know. Leila was only 5 months old when we adopted her, but didn't grow too much more. Bailey is the only other one we've had since he was a kitten - he was only 4-6 weeks old when we took him in as a stray and 1.5 lbs! However, Bailey was a much more mature kitten than Mikey is - Bailey played and had his crazy kitten times, of course, but Mikey in the last week has definitely shown us that he's a truly crazy kitten. Into everything...
He likes to climb on us - one night, after my shower, I had my hair wrapped in a towel and was standing at the sink. He decided to climb from the sink to my shoulders to my towel on top of my head and stayed there a couple of minutes. He likes to climb onto my husband's shoulders. He also seems to love jumping onto the kitchen counter, and it's hard sometimes to get him to stop, but he'll learn eventually. I don't mind when they get on our counter space or the furniture, but when we're prepping food, I don't like them to be into it...everything else is fine. Both Mikey and Vincent love to drink out of the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Bailey was the only die-hard sink-drinker before, and now he's finding that he has to take turns. B/c the young ones are new, though, I make sure to get them off of the sink when Bailey wants to drink. We want him to feel like we're not trying to replace him or anything! He is definitely king of the house.
We were just happy that Vincent spent his first birthday in his new forever home. Bailey's 4th b'day is coming up soon too - on 9/17.By then, hopefully they'll all be getting along well enough to kindly share special b'day food.
