your new kitten sounds like the new one im going to be getting on the 27th of this month. her name is mittens. she has white paws and grey around her little legs. she is so soft. she picked me and when im not with her she "crys" for me. i have 2 cats already, they are 4 years old. my dog does the same thing to new kittens. she loves to chase them and give them baths. the kittens do the same as your kitten, swats at the dog. lol. i cant wait until i get the new addition to my family.
