I am so in love with this kitten

My niece finally dropped off the kitten last night around 7pm. The baby and I were in the hallway upstairs and I told her baby Kitty was here. Her mouth dropped open and she started crawling so fast and giggling. It was a moment I wish I could have captured on film. So far he is doing amazing here. Last night my husband let our little dog in the kitchen with it which I didn’t think was a good idea to do that so soon. They did really well with each other though. Later I had the kitten in the living room because I didn’t want it to have to be alone in the bathroom. It was laying behind my husband head on the arm rest of the couch and jumped down. The two dogs cornered it in front of the gate and the cat scratched the labs nose. That was the only incident we have had knock on wood. Today my husband took his lab and beagles hunting so the cat had the roam of the downstairs. I stayed close to it though since my little dog was very curious of it and I had to watch the baby around it as well. Since my husband has been home the animals all seem fine with each other. I really didn’t expect this to go as smoothly as it is. It vomited this morning from grabbing potato skin off my daughters plate last night. I am actually so glad it did that as I wouldn’t have known had it not vomited that it has worms. I ordered wormer, nail caps and a litter mat off Amazon today. I told my husband I’m going to put the babies wrap on that I no longer use and carry the kitten around in it. Probably just joking but you never know . P.S.- If you haven’t read my other posts and don’t know about this kitten keep reading. If you have followed along skip the rest of this post: My sister in law had stray kittens living outside her house. One was a Siamese and I wanted to find it a home. I didn’t think my husband would ever let me have it nor could we because of his allergies. After my husband met the kitten we discovered he wasn’t allergic to this one like the others he has been around. My niece wanted it and had it for a month or so but she wasn’t home much and it was just stuck in her room all the time and their dog out of jealousy started peeing on their new carpet. We had agreed if they couldn’t care for it I would take it back.

@DevMrSamEleazar most kittens are adorable but not so much as adults.

@sallypup I have always wanted a Siamese and Himalayan. My grandmother had both and I adored the Himalayan’s. I wasn’t alive when she had the siamese cats. I am so lucky to get to have this kitten. My sister in law just shared a photo of this cat which is the sibling to my siamese. There was also one more in that litter that was dumped and it was a black runt. Amazing how different cats in a litter can be.

@sallypup yes the fur on this kitten is amazingly soft. I remember my grandmas cats having the fluffiest tail and blue eyes they were just gorgeous cats and really long. This siamese is much smaller then I expected it would be when it came back. I looked things up about them last night and they don’t get as big as I thought.

@shaggin My dearest Godiva was a blue point Himalayan. She could be ornery but with me mostly sweet .Beau Teak is a rescue but looks like a Siamese so I call him that. He loves to pat humans more than meow. Super soft fur. I'm so happy for you.

@allknowing I was telling my husband how I was surprised how well they are getting along and he agreed. The little dog takes cheap shots at the kitten sometimes when it’s back is turned and the kitten does the same to the dogs sits higher on a chair and bats at them when they go by.

Seeing kittens make me happy more than puppies. But we don't have cat now in the house. I love cats because they are more gentle than dogs

If I didn't know any better I'd have thought that was Tuffy. Both are just plain tooooo cute. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to the vet to see if Tuffy can be neutered now, he's about 3 months old already.

@RebeccasFarm they are all doing really well together. The baby is asleep in my lap, dogs are on the one couch and the kitten is on the other end of the couch I am on. I’m the only one awake. The baby was in my bed last night and I didn’t get much sleep so I think I will take a nap as well and skip the housework for awhile.

@LadyDuck I ordered dewormer on Amazon but when it didn’t arrive when I expected I checked the shipping date and it wasn’t going to arrive until mid December. That’s too long to wait. I checked on tractor supplies website and was able to buy it and my husband did curbside pick up after work yesterday. I was able to give the kitten the wormer with her dinner. I am so relieved!

Sounds like kitty has found a good home. Often, and I do not know why, people with cat allergies are not reactive to Siamese.

@GardenGerty years ago when my cat in my avatar was alive he was allergic to her. About 3 years ago he got a cat for his son and he wound up being allergic to that cat as well so I thought we could never have a cat here. I looked up and it says that Himalayan are hypoallergenic but Siamese aren’t so I was surprised he hasn’t had any allergies to this cat.

Glad it is working so far. it sounds like he is a plucky sort, and that will help him around there.

@snowy22315 I had to look up the word plucky I had never heard of it before. That fits him perfectly! My husband was saying similar last night that he’s not afraid of anything and that’s good with the dogs. My little dog was just standing in the kitchen and the kitten ran up and clobbered her a bunch of times .
