We Have A New Addition To Our Family!

On Monday I picked up my new little baby kitten from my daughters house. She is only 4 weeks old. My daughter took in a stray cat and this is her second litter. I didn't take any kittens from the first litter. I named my kitten Lucy ( after Lucille Ball). Lucy rode home in my purse, and she slept most of the way home, except when we stopped at the store, the cashier noticed her in my purse and startinf petting her. Lucy is one smart kitten, her mother did nothing to litter train the kittens, so when we got home I put her in my other cats litter box, and she sniffed around and went pee! I was surprised. I then got out a shoebox and made her own litter box, she can't get into the big one, all night I would show her the box, and by the next day she had caught on. I don't think I ever had it that easy before. The only problem I ran into was the fact she would not drink milk from a bowl, but she would drink water out of the bowl, so I kinda had to make her drink the milk. The next day she still would not drink the milk, so I warmed up some water and put in some cat food, and when it got soft I gave it to her, and she scarfed it up, thank god problem solved. Char my other cat was not to happy with me for bringing Lucy home, and her nose was out of joint for a few days, but she is starting to come around. Today I bought some kitten chow and it was to funny!! I was giving it to Lucy and Char was watching, then she came over and started to eat the kitten chow. I was like what the heak, she would push Lucy's face away and start eating, then I pushed Char's face away, and so on. I got the kitten to keep her company as I'm away from home on weekends at my job, and Char only has Timmy the bird for company. Here is a picture of Lucy, I took it with my webcam and she was not happy about it. If you have ever added a new pet to the family, what has your experience been?
