New cat.in the house....

[PA5COR]

2 weeks back a small 7 week old kitten sat down and stayed in my back yard, left it till it became dark in the hope the mother cat would pick it up, but it didn't... so took it in the house.
Got the doctor to look at it, do the medical things needed, and got kitten food and a new cat litter box, the Maine coon didn't matter the new cat, just tapped her when she became too "playfull" .
3 days later a woman living behind my house came by and told us it was one of 4 kittens of her, told her i would keep it, after the investment i made, and as now it is exhausted and laying on my lap.
Fully black not a white patch to be seen, one very active furball.

She is now 9 1/2 weeks old, growing well, healthy and happy.
Very social, likes to be with me or my son, playful like hell, keeping her busy becomes a day job...
Will make piccie later and put it up.
When time is due we will have her "treated" so she won't have a litter.

Uh oh. She may become a radio cat. I hear that's a thing over yonder. Congrats on you being selected Cor.

[PA5COR]

Yep, trying to keep her from walking over the radio gear or use it as resting place becomes a chore...;)

Awesome Charles!!

Cats are awesome. Like George said, congrats!
Cats always sit on TV's (well, when they were thicker front to back), computers, etc and radio gear. One of the reasons is because it is yours. The other reason is because these things tend to be warm. You already knew all that. Cats are our friends.

Thanks, Eric.

I have its twin pestering me for attention as I type this.

Always been a cat person, cats "find" me, or i get one from the animal asylums here.
She's happy, warm, loved, that is what counts.

Up until about 17 years ago, cats didn't like me and I didn't like cats. My wife came home with Simon, a black kitten and that animal promptly nuzzled up to me and made me its best friend. That cat was more like a dog, and was always by my side until his death last spring.

The wife and I drove an hour away into the next county for another black kitten, and Milo came home and proceeded to do the same thing. Milo is now six months old, plays fetch, and likes to hide his toys in my shoes, backpack and gym bag. I thought it was my wife doing that until I caught him doing it.

My wife's other cat, some form of mutant cat weighing 23 lbs, has never liked me. But he likes Milo.
