"Project Kitty" Was Successful!!!

We did it! We got ourselves a kitty, in fact right now as I type he's whacking my left hand off the keys because he just can't understand why I would not want to be with him all the time. He doesn't have a name yet...we were thinking about "spazoid" but I don't want to give him a complex. He is all kitty though. He is 9 weeks old and was brought to the animal shelter right after birth so he's only known a little cage up until this point. Needless to say it's been pretty freaked out. He spent hours last night just running back and forth in our living room and on our furniture. He loves to climb onto the back corner of our couch and last night he ran, took a flying leap to the edge...and missed! I think it hurt his pride more than anything else because he didn't come out from behind the china cabinat for some time after that.

I picked out this kitty because out of all the kitty's I held he was the only one that just went limp in my hand and let me love on him all I wanted. His playful side is starting to come out but he is really calm and just wants to snuggle a lot! He follows us around and cry's whenever we talk, I think he's mimicking us. He also licks our toes when he needs something. So far we haven't had any potty accidents but he periodically forgets to eat unless I remind him. Last night he was crying a bit and so we let him sleep with us. As soon as we layed him in between us he stopped crying, snuggled right into Ty's armpit, began to purr, and fell asleep for most of the night. He sounds like a car engine when he purrs. He's SOOO loud. Ty likes him much more than I thought he would and I think he's in love just as much as I am.
