His name is Tiger and he's 10 weeks old. He's adorable. We were wanting a kitten to have around the house and so we looked in the classifieds for free kittens. We found some and called the people. They said that they were both boys (which we were wanting girls for less smell), but we were okay with it. Nobody else had called us so we decided to jump on it. He was a little shaky in the car ride back to our house, but he warmed up pretty quickly to us. He didn't make a sound the whole way home. When it was time to go to bed though and we put him in the laundry room, he started to mewl. It was pitiful. I decided that I would turn off the dryer because that's probably what was freaking him out. We think he's got something though--some kind of illness. His left eye is kinda gunky and he sneezes a lot. We're taking to the vet tomorrow morning to get him checked out. We also thought he wasn't using the bathroom, but after I got back from the store today, I saw him in his litter box and I think he was using it! I was afraid that he might've had something else wrong with him...he seems like a pretty healthy kitten other than the eye and the sneezing. We think that we rescued him from a nasty situation. The house he lived in before was a double-wide mobile home and when we walked in, it reeked of dog and unchanged litter pans...ICK! I think we can offer him a better and cleaner home. He needs a bath because he stinks due to the situation he was in before. I don't think we're brave enough to do it though. There is a stuff that I saw at Target that's a "dry" shampoo--no water needed. You just brush it through the fur until it disappears and it supposedly makes the cat smell like powder-fresh or something. We'll see what happens.
So now, both our parents are proud grandparents to a kitten. YAY! It's a boy!
