After withstanding many months of pleading from my grandson, I finally caved in and adopted a stray, rescue kitten from a friend. It’s not as cute or adorable as this one but still he already feels like one of my grandkids to me. Lovable and fun. The reason it took me so long to acquiesce was that I’ve NEVER had a pet in my entire life. So it was a big adjustment. I had to learn everything from scratch. How to feed him, How to keep its litter clean, and the vet visits. Right now he has made himself at home in our living room and is busy exploring. Yesterday we had to rescue him twice from the top of the window curtain railing where he had blithely climbed but didn’t know how to come down. I am glad I took this decision. My grandson is over the moon.

Your kitten is adorable. Good for you. The last time I had a kitten show up at my house she had 3 siblings with her which brought my cat count up to five. Impossible to resist a kitten.

We don’t let him roam the whole house yet. So he is finding entertainment in the landing, stairs and the living room. I’m sure we already love him. 🥰😻

What lovely picture this week.
I am so sad I missed it.
Our cat , Audrey, looks a lot like this picture. She is a mixed breed Persian with the same colouring.
Your kitty looks adorable too.
I am so glad you gave in to your grandson.
Have fun both of you 💕

This is an awesome addition, I’m sure you’ll enjoy every minute with your kitten, Ma’am. A stray cat had given birth to her kittens in my mom’s garden and slowly those kittens grew up and gave birth to more. We enjoyed playing with them as long as they were with us. They got lost, we searched, rescued, they fell ill, we were tensed until they recovered. My mom literally was their cat mother, so many stories, so much fun. I’m sure you’ll have fun too. 🙂

Dinky is so tiny and sweet. I love tabby cats (don’t tell Luna). My first cat (a tabby/tortoiseshell cross) used to climb the curtains right to the top of the rail too. Quite scary since the ceilings in that flat were very high.
Kittens bring out the best in people; look at the turnout!
Happy kitty sitting, Sadje! 🙂

Pets help us in so many ways. The purr of a cat comes in as a healing Hertz. 😀
Good luck with your cute kitty. Watch what Dinky eats though… despite what some folks do, milk isn’t good for cats.
Best to keep researching. 😀

Thanks Jules. “No milk” was the first instruction that I got from my grandson, even before he was home. I do keep on researching and asked the vet a lot of questions too. Thanks for your kind wishes
