It's a Boy!

I went to the shelter yesterday to look at kittens. The ones that I saw were mostly all spoken for, even though they grabbed at me and licked almost all the skin off my hands! The people at this shelter really know how to get kittens ready to beg to be taken home. I could easily have taken all of them. Since there didn't seem to be any for me, I prepared to leave. As I was filling out an application, the woman told me that she did have a couple of very young kittens who would not be ready for adoption for a while yet. I asked if she had photos, and she said they were in the back and she could go and get one. She had a grey one and a black one. Since I know that black cats are harder to adopt out, I asked for that one. He's a little tuxedo kitty - black with white feet and a little white on his chest. Only 4 weeks old and only wants to be with his cat momma, so I didn't keep him out long. But he's the one who will be coming home to me somewhere around the 4th of July, after he's had all his shots and his little operation. And his name will be Timothy. The name was whispered in my ear one night when I was in bed. My husband used to make jokes about "Timmy" all the time, and I suspect that's where the name came from. Right now, of course, he's more Tiny Tim than anything else. I'm going back to visit him in a couple of weeks at which time I will take some pictures. It's nice to have something good to look forward to for a change. My niece is also adopting a little black cat from there. I got to snuggle with him while I was there, too. He's all black (like her other two) and his name is Bear. He's absolutely gorgeous and I took some photos for my niece, since she hasn't seen him in a couple of weeks. She'll be taking him home in about two weeks. It's going to be a three ring circus at her house soon and I can't wait to see that! Claudia
