    Great job!!!!! Kittens that age are very easy to tame. When he blinks his eyes at you, that shows he's beginning to trust you.

    Another thing you can do is wrap him up in a towel with only his head exposed. Pet and kiss his head, gently talking to him. I've found that the gloves have a tendency to scare the kitties. Maybe that's why I have so many scars!!!

    You're doing an awesome job MoonandBean. Thank you for taking this precious one in. Welcome to kitten season!!!

    LOL He/she is much too cute to saddle him with that name but,
    Joey or Josie is nice.

    We are naming him Joseph if he's a boy and Josephine if she's a girl

    No more "bitey-man". He has been with us 5 days and hasn't done anything but hiss. Last night, we picked him up by the scruff of his neck and moved him from his litter box to his newly made bed. He runs to his food bowl when we go to fill it and we can have the door open while we're cleaning his cage and he makes no attempt to escape (quite a difference from the first night when he was trying to get out and testing every opening).

    My cat Moon went in the garage for the first time last night and Moon looks like he could be Joseph's mother. Joseph's face "LIT UP" when he saw Moon. (See attached pic...Moon is the cat on the left....Bean is on the right....Sunny is my pup but you all know that... ). Moon wasn't too interested and walked right out but it made me sad for Joseph. He must miss his mom!!

    Thanks for all the great advice. I am really surprised how smoothly this is going. His quarantine is over tomorrow (clearly...he is healthy) and we are going to start holding him and carrying him everywhere.

    Stay tuned....
