New kitten CASPER came to live at my house today! PICTURES INCLUDED!

[Soapets]

I'd never heard of "flame-point" or "red-point" Siamese until someone posted it on this thread. I looked it up on the internet and it is officially "red-point" Siamese, from what I found. But I like the term "flame-point" so much better, and "flame-point" is an "unofficial" name for the red-point Siamese cats! I just know that when I first saw Casper, he reminded me of a Siamese kitten with orange coloring instead of gray or brown coloring in the ears, nose and tail. It will be interesting to see how much his color actually changes.....I guess if he turns less white, his name will be a reflection of his earliest days, when he was SO white in color! I have a follow-up appointment set for him at the Vet's on October 25th. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy watching him play as much as possible when I'm at home! He is getting along wonderfully, and even "teases" his "siblings" some now---so if they "attack" him, he usually instigates it now! But they don't hurt him......They have even been seen licking him when they don't know that I can see them.......

Casper is so cute and adorable. I want him.

Please keep the pictures coming, as we all like to see kittens and puppies.

Thanks for taking a kitten in need of a new home. Farm cats can have a difficult life. Not all, but many, are never vetted and live only a short time. It seems as though your boss and his wife are responsible. I hope they get their cats neutered and spayed, so they don't keep reproducing.

Around here, stray cats often end up going to farmers. I am not sure if they are dropped off or merely find their way there. Many of the farmers here in Vermont, cannot afford to spay and neuter each and every cat they come across. There are just too many. But many cats end up getting ill or killed by another animal at the farm.

Anyway, thanks for taking Casper and giving him a loving, fun home.

Remember, more pictures!
